SHAInet - stands for Super Human Artificial Intelligence network a neural network in pure Crystal

This is a free-time project, happily hosted by NeuraLegion that was created as part of some internal research. We started it with research in mind, rather than production, and just kept going, also thanks to members of the community.

We wanted to try and implement some inspiration from the biological world into this project. In addition to that, we wanted to try an approach for NNs using object-oriented modeling instead of matrices. The main reason behind that was, to try new types of neurons aiming for more robust learning (if possible) or at least have more fine-tuned control over the manipulation of each neuron (which is difficult using a matrix-driven approach).

At the Roadmap you can see what we plan to add to the network as the project will progress.

Standard training on XOR example

require "shainet"

training_data = [
  [[0, 0], [0]],
  [[1, 0], [1]],
  [[0, 1], [1]],
  [[1, 1], [0]],
]
# Initialize a new network
xor = SHAInet::Network.new
# Add a new layer of the input type with 2 neurons and classic neuron type (memory)
xor.add_layer(:input, 2, :memory, SHAInet.sigmoid)
# Add a new layer of the hidden type with 2 neurons and classic neuron type (memory)
xor.add_layer(:hidden, 2, :memory, SHAInet.sigmoid)
# Add a new layer of the output type with 1 neurons and classic neuron type (memory)
xor.add_layer(:output, 1, :memory, SHAInet.sigmoid)
# Fully connect the network layers
xor.fully_connect

# Adjust network parameters
xor.learning_rate = 0.7
xor.momentum = 0.3

# data, training_type, cost_function, activation_function, epochs, error_threshold (sum of errors), learning_rate, momentum)
xor.train(
      data: training_data,
      training_type: :sgdm,
      cost_function: :mse,
      epochs: 5000,
