I have coded the program in Python and am training it. But, the problem is that Python is really really slow. I have 220 inputs and around 18000 samples (testing and training).. It just crawls under this.. However, for other ML techniques, I plan to use ready-to-use software such as Weka or Yale.. Another option is using Orange library for Python.. But again, Python is damn slow. My inspiration: Well, when I checked on the internet about currently used ANNs for prediction, I was fascinated by their real world applications.. I wondered if these black-boxes can really learn anything about protein structure.. Hence, I tried to code a neural network for myself.. Hey,
