Port or implement widget for training neural networks

You're a bully. Stop it.

@kernc, I disapprove of what you say w.r.t. what belongs to issues, but I will defend to the death your right to say it. Not in this manner, though. ;)

I would really appreciate it if we treat each other with respect we deserve. @ajdapretnar is one of the most capable and multi-talented people I know. A true renaissance woman. :) There are also other bright programmers in the team (you very included), which do not deserve being publicly degraded when they make (or seem to have made) a mistake.

Since I always value your opinion a lot, I will also try to see the purpose of the issue list from your perspective. But please do not consider those who want to use the list differently as incompetent.

Closed via #2553.

Hi! What's the status on the Neural Network Widget? I wanted to use Orange3 for data analysis, but a lot of widgets are missing.

Are there still plans to port those from Orange 2?

[janezd]

Yes, there are still quite a few widgets that haven't been ported yet. We don't wish to port without some maintenance, redesign, refactoring... Everything that was useful in Orange 2 will be ported eventually, and neural networks are still on the list, of course.

If you miss some specific widgets from Orange 2, you can perhaps stay with Orange 2 for now.

[akors]

Thank you, I will use Orange 2 for now. I wish you success with porting!

[janezd]

Closing this issue. It is one of the topics for GSoC 2016.

[akors]

Why close it now? You can close it after the Summer student ;)

I am happy to help with some Testing, if you need it.

p.s.: congratulations on getting GSoC student!

[janezd]

You're right. :)

[ajdapretnar]

@janezd Since we're not doing it for GSoC and since NN are out of scope of Orange as we discussed on several occasions, can we close the isssue?

[janezd]

Yes, IMHO.

Let issues be about things that need and will be done, not about wishes and plans.

[ajdapretnar]

Agree 100%.

[kernc]

I object to your inexperience and absolute incompetence in deciding about this matter.
