steepest - trains the network using steepest descent

### USAGE

        steepest [<num-updates>] [-report <report-interval> | -setOnly]

### DESCRIPTION

This is a shortcut for training the network using steepest descent. The arguments are similar to those for train.

Steepest descent simply does pure steepest gradient descent in weight space.

If the -setOnly flag is used, no training will occur. However, the network's numUpdates, reportInterval, and default algorithm will be set. This can be used to set the default training behavior in an initialization script prior to actually training.

### EXAMPLES

To train for 1000 epochs, printing reports every 100:

        lens> steepest 1000 -r 100
