Known weaknesses

Each one links to the public issue, changelog or docs page it came from, where we have one.

1. 01

   Limited language support, primarily Lua-based

   The tool is mainly developed for and optimized in Lua, which restricts its usability to developers familiar with or willing to use Lua.

2. 02

   Small community and limited documentation

   Due to the niche nature of dpnn and its reliance on Lua, there is a smaller user base contributing to the community and generating comprehensive documentation.

3. 03

   Performance issues with large datasets or complex models

   Users have reported slower training times and higher memory usage when using dpnn for deep learning tasks involving large datasets or intricate model architectures.

What it does well

• Additional neural network features beyond the main nn package.

• Enhanced capabilities for deep learning applications.

• Open-source and BSD-3-Clause licensed.
