Running programs

• train the two networks python3 trainnetworks.py. The log file and model are stored in the directory logs and model.
• visiualize the two networks python3 visualNet.py. The reulsts are stored in the logs directory.
• compare the two well-tuned networks, python3 computeFnorm.py.
• visualize the losses of the two networks, python3 plotHistory.py.
