    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_mnist_ex.cpp and dnn_mnist_advanced_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 blocks runs a number of smaller networks (e.g. block1,
    block2) and then concatenates their results.  For further reading refer to:
    Szegedy, Christian, et al. "Going deeper with convolutions." Proceedings of
    the IEEE Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition. 2015.
