            REQUIREMENTS ON net_type
                - net_type is an add_loss_layer object.

            REQUIREMENTS ON solver_type
                - solver_type is an implementation of the EXAMPLE_SOLVER interface defined
                  in solvers_abstract.h

            WHAT THIS OBJECT REPRESENTS
                This object is a tool training a deep neural network. To use it you supply
                a neural network type and a solver, then you call train() with your
                training data and it will output a new network instance that has hopefully
                learned something useful from your training data.

                If you are compiling with CUDA then this object will use the GPU that is
                currently selected (i.e. the one indicated by cudaGetDevice()) when
                dnn_trainer is constructed.  It will continue to use that device even if
                you later change it by a call to cudaSetDevice().

            EXCEPTIONS
                If an exception is thrown by any part of the neural network during training
                then the exception will be propagated out of the trainer to the user.
                Moreover, the trainer instance will be unusable and should be destroyed.

                  The goal of training is to find the network parameters that minimize
                  get_net().compute_loss(data.begin(), data.end()). 
                - The optimizer will run until get_learning_rate() < get_min_learning_rate() 
                  or get_max_num_epochs() training epochs have been executed. 
                - Each layer in the network will be optimized by its corresponding solver
                  in get_solvers().

                  the starting point for the optimization each time train() is called.  In
                  particular, if you use the set_synchronization_file() method you can
                  resume an interrupted train() call by simply calling train() again and it
                  will pick up from the last synchronization point.
