/*** \class TDLGradientDescent
 *
 *   Generic implementation of gradient descent minimization for the
 *   deep learning neural nets.
 *
 *   The TDLGradientDescent class implements an architecture, input data and
 *   deep learning neural network type independent implementation of the gradient
 *   descent minimization algorithm.
 *
*    This is provided by the Step(...), StepMomentum(...) and
 *   StepNesterov(...) functions that perform a single minimization step.
 *
 *   The main training characteristics are defined by the provided learning rate,
 *   the test interval, and the convergence steps required for convergence. The
 *   test interval defines how often the error on the validation set is computed,
 *   and the values with which the step counter is increased each time the
 *   HasConverged() member function is called. A convergence step is defined as
 *   a step in which the test error is NOT less than 0.999 times the current
 *   minimal test error that has been reached. If between two subsequent calls
 *   to HasConverged(Double_t) the test error has not been sufficiently reduced
 *   it is assumed that a number of convergence steps equal to the test interval
 *   has been performed.
