The purpose of this, amongst other things,
is to help to decide on a format for possible
forthcoming neural network (and perhaps
other learnable model) design competitions
(for example, a possible objective would be
to find the best pure neural network Go player).
I note that the predicitive model markup language
can describe neural networks:

though it's not clear to me whether this is widely
used in practice.
