Revival

This looks like a cool library – is there any enthusiasm for updating this to Swift 5?

@chessboy Do you see any particular application where ConvNetSwift would fit better than any other NN library? TensorFlow and PyTorch both have huge communities and iOS compatibility.

Hi @alexsosn, thanks for the reply. The answer is yes for some specific use-cases, for example In-App learning or interactive training. I'm currently using genetic algorithm here and of course GA takes 1000's of generations even with crossover breeding on top of chance mutation. I would love to try setting some goals for them and comparing their evolution over pure GA and that's why it would be great to use a RL library on macOS or iOS.

I also think there could be a chance to use RL here as well. Right now I've trained the models in Create ML using the output of the macOS app... not sure what the goals would be yet... perhaps a new type of "capture-the-flag" chess which has most of the rules of chess but in a more agent-based world.

Thanks again.
