-%description
-auto-nng is a software for analysis and classification of data, using 
-artificial neuronal networks.
-You can feed an amount of datasets consisting of certain input and output 
-parameters into the program, to make it try to find a mathematical correlation 
-between the input and output parameters. Afterwards the program tries to 
-calculate the output parameters for datasets which only have known input 
-parameters.
