        This is an example illustrating the use of the deep learning tools from the
        dlib C++ Library.  I'm assuming you have already read the introductory
        dnn_introduction_ex.cpp and dnn_introduction2_ex.cpp examples.  In this
        example we are going to show how to create inception networks.

        An inception network is composed of inception blocks of the form:

                   input from SUBNET
                  /        |        \
                 /         |         \
              block1    block2  ... blockN
                 \         |         /
                  \        |        /
              concatenate tensors from blocks
                           |
                        output

        That is, an inception block runs a number of smaller networks (e.g. block1,
        block2) and then concatenates their results.  For further reading refer to:

        the IEEE Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition. 2015.
