Manage networks

A network is an ALG_Network struct that refers to several layers. It can be seen as a container for the entire network entity.

Create networks

There are many ways of creating networks. How you do it depends on the situation you're in.

Create network

If you already know the number of layer your network will have, you can use the ALG_CreateNetwork() method as follows :

ALG_Network* n = ALG_CreateNetwork(100, 4)

The first parameter is the number of inputs (or features) and the second parameter is the number of layers in addition to the input layer.

Create bare network

If you don't already know in advance the number of layers, you can create a bare network. This is a network only filled with an input layer. You can add layer later with the ALG_CreateLayerInNetwork() function.

// Creates a network with 10 inputs 
ALG_Network* n = ALG_CreateBareNetwork(10);

// You can add layer later
// It creates a new layer of 100 units (neurons) at the end of the network.
ALG_CreateLayerInNetwork(n, 100);

Create network from file

You can create networks from files with the .model.alg extension. To learn more about this file format, you should read the file format documentation page. To load a network from a file, use the ALG_CreateNetworkFromFile() function.

FILE *file = fopen("path/to/basic_network.model.alg", "r");
ALG_Network* n = ALG_CreateNetworkFromFile(file);
