Genann – Simple neural network library in ANSI C

This looks like a clearly written, compact, and easy-to-use neural network library. It could be useful for pedagogy, but the README should also mention (unless I missed it) for naive readers that it is pretty much completely inappropriate for production since it uses no vector instructions nor GPU computation. It will be <i>slow</i> compared to any more sophisticated neural network library for anything but the most trivial applications.<p>For a similar equivalent in Swift see my project: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;davecom&#x2F;SwiftSimpleNeuralNetwork" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;davecom&#x2F;SwiftSimpleNeuralNetwork</a>

Honourable mention for FANN - Fast Artificial NN, also in C, has a nice set of features and was a pleasure to use.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;libfann&#x2F;fann" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;libfann&#x2F;fann</a>

This is from 2016. Interesting that the authors most recent post is a tool for finding when your projects are being mentioned on HN or Reddit :)

Wow! I had to implement a small 3 layer network in C for a class, and it was interesting. It was a ton of work though, but I learnt a lot.<p>Will go through the source code for the kicks. Thanks!

Beautiful, properly documented code.

If the most interesting thing you can say about your project is which language you used, you might not have aimed high enough.
