Basic Forward-Forward Example

This example implements the paper The Forward-Forward Algorithm: Some Preliminary Investigations by Geoffrey Hinton.

the aim of this paper is to introduce a new learning procedure for neural networks. the forward and backward passes of backpropagation by two forward passes.
