/* Section: FANN Training 
 
 	There are many different ways of training neural networks and the FANN library supports
 	a number of different approaches. 
 	
 	Two fundementally different approaches are the most commonly used:
 	
 		Fixed topology training - The size and topology of the ANN is determined in advance
 			and the training alters the weights in order to minimize the difference between
 			the desired output values and the actual output values. This kind of training is 
 			supported by <fann_train_on_data>.
 			
 		Evolving topology training - The training start out with an empty ANN, only consisting
 			of input and output neurons. Hidden neurons and connections is the added during training,
 			in order to reach the same goal as for fixed topology training. This kind of training
 			is supported by <FANN Cascade Training>.
