Description

I'm finding the MNIST example on the MNIST branch very insightful.

In the example, the structure of model is hardcoded. What is the best way, in the ReverseDiff framework, to programmatically define the structure? For example, if I wanted the user to be able to specify at runtime the number of hidden layers and the size and activation functions of each.

Thanks!

Research direction

Start with the MNIST branch example and inspect where the model structure is hardcoded. Determine how a runtime-specified number of hidden layers, layer sizes, and activation functions could be represented in ReverseDiff; done would be a documented or demonstrated approach for defining that model programmatically.
