  <dc:title>Dense Neural Networks for Tabular Regression, Classification and
Survival</dc:title>
  <dc:title>R package densemlp version 0.7.1</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Dense feed-forward neural networks (multilayer perceptrons)
    for tabular regression, classification and survival analysis, with a
    formula or x/y interface. Supports residual and gated hidden blocks,
    batch normalization, per-layer dropout, learned cross-feature
    interactions, exponential moving-average weights, learning-rate
    schedules, internal bootstrap ensembles and Adam optimization. Survival
    outcomes are trained with either a batch-wise Breslow-tie Cox partial
    likelihood or a discrete-time inverse-probability-of-censoring-weighted
    integrated Brier score. The numerical kernels are implemented natively
    in C++ via 'RcppArmadillo', with no external deep learning framework
    dependency (no 'torch' / 'libtorch'). Companion helpers provide k-fold
    cross-validation, hyperparameter search and task-aware evaluation
    metrics.</dc:description>
