Hi all, I'm working with AI::NeuralNet::Mesh and I've seen a few areas that it can be improved slightly. Mainly, I can make it run clean under warnings and, according to some initial benchmarks, I can give it a nice performance boost with a few tweaks. However, I backed out my changes to be able to build a more comprehensive test suite to ensure that I don't break anything. This raises a question for me.
After training the neural network, assuming that I am using the same training data every time (in the same order), are the results deterministic across operating systems, CPUs, Perl versions, etc? From reading through the code, I don't see anything that would cause problems here, but I'm not sure. If the results *are* deterministic then I can go ahead and build the test suite and send this back to the author. Otherwise, I can only build the tests for me, but I'd prefer to be able let others take advantage of my work.
