<p>Thank you.<br>
If the serialization hasn't completed yet, what does the data stored in the test XML file represent (see below)? And once the serialization is finished, what details will be stored in the XML file? </p>
<p>If the various parameters of the FFN (such as input layers, hidden layers, outputlayer type etc) is stored in the XML file then we can definitely specify the type of network that will be loaded by just looking at the file. If not, I'm still not a 100% sure how to specify the type of network to load when the type is decided just before saving it.</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
