## Declare Factory
 
Create the Factory class. Later you can choose the methods
whose performance you'd like to investigate.
 
The factory is the major TMVA object you have to interact with. Here is the list of parameters you need to pass
 
 - The first argument is the base of the name of all the output
weightfiles in the directory weight/ that will be created with the
method parameters
 
 - The second argument is the output file for the training results
 
 - The third argument is a string option defining some general configuration for the TMVA session. For example all TMVA output can be suppressed by removing the "!" (not) in front of the "Silent" argument in the option string

## Booking Deep Neural Network
 
Here we define the option string for building the Deep Neural network model.
 
#### 1. Define DNN layout
 
The DNN configuration is defined using a string. Note that whitespaces between characters are not allowed.
 
We define first the DNN layout:
 
- **input layout** :   this defines the input data format for the DNN as  ``input depth | height | width``.
   In case of a dense layer as first layer the input layout should be  ``1 | 1 | number of input variables`` (features)
- **batch layout**  : this defines how are the input batch. It is related to input layout but not the same.
   If the first layer is dense it should be ``1 | batch size ! number of variables`` (fetures)
 
   *(note the use of the character `|` as  separator of  input parameters for DNN layout)*
 
note that in case of only dense layer the input layout could be omitted but it is required when defining more
complex architectures
 
- **layer layout** string defining the layer architecture. The syntax is
   - layer type (e.g. DENSE, CONV, RNN)
   - layer parameters (e.g. number of units)
   - activation function (e.g  TANH, RELU,...)
 
     *the different layers are separated by the ``","`` *
 
#### 2. Define Trainining Strategy
 
We define here the training strategy parameters for the DNN. The parameters are separated by the ``","`` separator.
One can then concatenate different training strategy with different parameters. The training strategy are separated by
the ``"|"`` separator.
 
 - Optimizer
 - Learning rate
 - Momentum (valid for SGD and RMSPROP)
 - Regularization and Weight Decay
 - Dropout
 - Max number of epochs
 - Convergence steps. if the test error will not decrease after that value the training will stop
 - Batch size (This value must be the same specified in the input layout)
 - Test Repetitions (the interval when the test error will be computed)
 
 
#### 3. Define general DNN options
 
We define the general DNN options concateneting in the final string the previously defined layout and training strategy.
Note we use the ``":"`` separator to separate the different higher level options, as in the other TMVA methods.
In addition to input layout, batch layout and training strategy we add now:
 
- Type of Loss function (e.g. CROSSENTROPY)
- Weight Initizalization (e.g XAVIER, XAVIERUNIFORM, NORMAL )
- Variable Transformation
- Type of Architecture (e.g. CPU, GPU, Standard)
 
We can then book the DL method using the built option string
