  Thanks for sharing this. I've been interested in Haskell for a while and I hadn't really started writing any actual programs until very recently[1]. I also wanted to learn about neural networks, and reading your source code was quite pleasant. It looks really interesting, congratulations.

  [1] I wrote a toy IRC bot for a channel I have with some friends. It's quite primitive. https://github.com/jdiez17/HaskellHawk

  This looks really cool. Are there any papers that describe neural networks that function in a manner similar to how this library works?

  off-topic question: is it possible to speed up a neuron network software using a gpu or specialized hardware running openCL ? what about using supercomputers ?

  Looks very nice! May I ask how fast it is?
