    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 dnn_introduction_ex.cpp, the
    dnn_introduction2_ex.cpp and the dnn_introduction3_ex.cpp examples.  In this example
    program we are going to show how one can train a neural network using an unsupervised
    loss function.  In particular, we will train the ResNet50 model from the paper
    "Deep Residual Learning for Image Recognition" by Kaiming He, Xiangyu Zhang, Shaoqing
    Ren, Jian Sun.

    To train the unsupervised loss, we will use the self-supervised learning (SSL) method
    called Barlow Twins, introduced in this paper:
    "Barlow Twins: Self-Supervised Learning via Redundancy Reduction" by Jure Zbontar,
    Li Jing, Ishan Misra, Yann LeCun, Stéphane Deny.

    The paper contains a good explanation on how and why this works, but the main idea
    behind the Barlow Twins method is:
        - generate two distorted views of a batch of images: YA, YB
        - feed them to a deep neural network and obtain their representations and
          and batch normalize them: ZA, ZB
        - compute the empirical cross-correlation matrix between both feature
          representations as: C = trans(ZA) * ZB.
        - make C as close as possible to the identity matrix.

    This removes the redundancy of the feature representations, by maximizing the
    encoded information about the images themselves, while minimizing the information
    about the transforms and data augmentations used to obtain the representations.

    The original Barlow Twins paper uses the ImageNet dataset, but in this example we
    are using CIFAR-10, so we will follow the recommendations of this paper, instead:
    "A Note on Connecting Barlow Twins with Negative-Sample-Free Contrastive Learning"
    by Yao-Hung Hubert Tsai, Shaojie Bai, Louis-Philippe Morency, Ruslan Salakhutdinov,
    in which they experiment with Barlow Twins on CIFAR-10 and Tiny ImageNet.  Since
    the CIFAR-10 contains relatively small images, we will define a ResNet50 architecture
    that doesn't downsample the input in the first convolutional layer, and doesn't have
    a max pooling layer afterwards, like the paper does.
