* feat: Implement Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) architecture with load balancing Implements a complete Top-K Mixture-of-Experts framework enabling models with extremely high capacity while remaining computationally efficient by activating only a subset of parameters per input. Phase 1: Core Components - Expert<T>: Container class for sequential layer composition in MoE - MixtureOfExpertsLayer<T>: Main MoE layer with routing and expert management Phase 2: Forward Pass Logic - Gating network with softmax normalization for routing weights - Top-K expert selection for sparse routing (configurable K) - Token dispatch with weighted expert output combination - Support for both soft routing (all experts) and sparse routing (top-K) Phase 3: Load Balancing - IAuxiliaryLossLayer<T>: Interface for layers reporting auxiliary losses - Load balancing loss calculation using token and probability mass fractions - Training loop integration: total_loss = primary_loss + (alpha * auxiliary_loss) - Comprehensive diagnostics for monitoring expert utilization Phase 4: Testing & Configuration - Comprehensive unit tests for Expert<T> (12 test cases) - Integration tests for MixtureOfExpertsLayer<T> (30+ test cases) - End-to-end training tests with loss decrease verification - MixtureOfExpertsBuilder<T>: Fluent API with research-backed defaults Key Features: - Generic type support via INumericOperations<T> - Configurable TopK for sparse expert activation - Load balancing prevents expert collapse - Extensive XML documentation with "For Beginners" sections - Builder pattern for easy configuration with sensible defaults Architecture follows AiDotNet patterns: - Inherits from LayerBase<T> with proper Forward/Backward/Update implementation - INumericOperations<T> for generic numeric operations - Comprehensive parameter management (Get/Set/Update) - State management with ResetState() and Clone() support Resolves #311 * feat: Add PredictionModelBuilder integration for Mixture-of-Experts Adds proper integration with AiDotNet's PredictionModelBuilder pattern, enabling users to create and train MoE models through the standard workflow. New Components: - MixtureOfExpertsExtensions: Extension methods for easy MoE creation - CreateMoEArchitecture(): Creates single-layer MoE architecture - CreateDeepMoEArchitecture(): Creates multi-layer deep MoE - CreateMoEModel(): One-line MoE model creation - CreateDeepMoEModel(): One-line deep MoE model creation Integration Features: - Seamless PredictionModelBuilder.ConfigureModel() support - Automatic architecture and model wrapping - Research-backed default parameters - Support for classification and regression tasks Documentation: - Comprehensive usage guide with examples - Quick start, advanced, and manual configuration patterns - Parameter guidelines and tuning recommendations - Complete end-to-end classification example Usage Pattern: ```csharp var moeModel = MixtureOfExpertsExtensions.CreateMoEModel<float>( inputSize: 10, outputSize: 3, numExperts: 8, topK: 2 ); var result = new PredictionModelBuilder<float, Tensor<float>, Tensor<float>>() .ConfigureModel(moeModel) .Build(trainingData, trainingLabels); ``` This follows AiDotNet's core principle: users configure components through PredictionModelBuilder and get automatically trained models. Related to #311 * fix: Remove extension methods, use standard AiDotNet pattern Removed MixtureOfExpertsExtensions - MoE now follows the exact same pattern as all other neural network models in AiDotNet. Standard Usage Pattern: 1. Create layers (use MixtureOfExpertsBuilder for MoE layers) 2. Create NeuralNetworkArchitecture with layers 3. Wrap in NeuralNetworkModel 4. Use with PredictionModelBuilder.ConfigureModel() 5. Call Build() to train This is consistent with how all neural networks work in AiDotNet - no special extensions needed. Updated Documentation: - Removed extension method examples - Added standard pattern examples - Shows deep MoE, custom experts, regression - Emphasizes consistency with other models Related to #311 * feat: Implement MixtureOfExpertsNeuralNetwork following standard AiDotNet pattern This commit corrects the MoE implementation to follow AiDotNet's core architectural principle: PredictionModelBuilder is the ONLY way users create and train models. Changes: - Created MixtureOfExpertsOptions<T> configuration class (similar to ARIMAOptions, NBEATSOptions) - Created MixtureOfExpertsNeuralNetwork<T> inheriting from NeuralNetworkBase<T> - Added ModelType.MixtureOfExperts to ModelType enum - Updated documentation to show standard pattern (Options → Architecture → Model → Builder) - Created comprehensive tests for MixtureOfExpertsNeuralNetwork - Removed extension method approach from documentation The new pattern matches all other AiDotNet models: 1. Create MixtureOfExpertsOptions with configuration 2. Create NeuralNetworkArchitecture defining the task 3. Create MixtureOfExpertsNeuralNetwork (implements IFullModel) 4. Use with PredictionModelBuilder for training and inference This is identical to how ARIMAModel, NBEATSModel, FeedForwardNeuralNetwork, and all other models work in AiDotNet. No special helper methods required.

Part of diagnostics interface standardization effort. * fix: move DifferentiableNeuralComputer field initializers to constructors Removed NumOps field initializers from field declarations and moved them to both constructors to resolve CS0236 compilation errors in .NET Framework 4.6: - AuxiliaryLossWeight initialization - _lastMemoryAddressingLoss initialization Both scalar and vector activation constructors now properly initialize these fields after the base() call. * fix: move MemoryInterfaceSignals field initializers to constructor Removed NumOps field initializers from MemoryInterfaceSignals nested class property declarations and moved them to the constructor to resolve CS0236 compilation errors in .NET Framework 4.6: - WriteStrength initialization - AllocationGate initialization - WriteGate initialization All three properties now initialize properly in the constructor after NumOps is available. * fix: move auxiliary loss field initialization from helper methods to constructors Moved AuxiliaryLossWeight and _last* field initialization from helper methods (InitializeParameters, InitializeLayer) directly into constructor bodies so the C# compiler can properly track that these fields are initialized. This resolves null reference warnings. Fixed in: - MultiHeadAttentionLayer.cs (both constructors) - SelfAttentionLayer.cs (both constructors) - SpatialTransformerLayer.cs (both constructors) The compiler cannot track initialization through helper method calls, so fields must be initialized directly in the constructor before calling any helper methods. * chore: remove unnecessary comments from helper methods * feat: implement comprehensive diagnostics architecture for all layers This commit implements a complete diagnostics system for the neural network library, enabling monitoring and debugging of all layers and networks. Key changes: 1. Added IDiagnosticsProvider<T> to LayerBase<T> - All layers now inherit diagnostic capabilities from base class - Provides common metrics: layer type, shapes, parameter count, activation - Virtual method allows derived classes to add specific diagnostics 2. Fixed default(T) initialization issues in Autoencoder.cs - Removed = default(T) from field declarations - All fields properly initialized in constructor using NumOps 3. Updated all 26 IAuxiliaryLossLayer implementations - Changed GetDiagnostics() to override base method - Now merges base layer diagnostics with auxiliary loss diagnostics - Provides comprehensive view of both general and specialized metrics 4. Verified constructor initialization across all implementations - All constructors properly initialize AuxiliaryLossWeight - Multiple constructor variants correctly handle field initialization - Fixes compiler errors from uninitialized fields Benefits: - Standardized diagnostics across all layer types - Easy monitoring during training and inference - Better debugging capabilities for model behavior - Consistent interface for tools and visualization - Extensible for adding new diagnostic metrics Addresses code review feedback: - IDiagnosticsProvider now on LayerBase (not just individual layers) - Removed problematic default(T) usage - All constructors properly initialize fields * fix: resolve all build errors in neural networks and layers Fixed 44 build errors across production code (src/) - now builds cleanly.

Throws NotSupportedException for unsupported types (DOUBLE, INT8, etc.) instead of silently corrupting data. 2. **Correct TypeProto parsing**: Fixed ParseTypeProto to properly handle nested ONNX protobuf structure (TypeProto → tensor_type → shape → dim → dim_value) instead of incorrectly treating every varint as a dimension. This fixes tensor shape extraction for model inputs/outputs. 3. **Accurate InnerProduct layer sizing**: Changed from Math.Sqrt approximation (which assumed square matrices) to using actual tensor shape from ONNX dims. For MatMul/Gemm layers, correctly extracts [out_dim, in_dim] from weight tensor shape. Technical changes: - ParseTensor now returns OnnxTensor with Name, Data, and Shape fields - Added OnnxTensor class to store tensor metadata alongside float data - Updated OnnxGraphInfo.Initializers from Dictionary<string, float[]> to Dictionary<string, OnnxTensor> - Added ParseTensorTypeProto, ParseTensorShapeProto, and ParseDimensionProto helper methods - ConvertOperatorToLayer uses shape[0] and shape[1] for layer sizing with sqrt fallback * fix: preserve all configuration properties across cloning and deserialization This ensures deployment behavior, model adaptation capabilities, and training history are maintained when copying or reloading models. Updated three methods: 1. WithParameters: Now passes LoRAConfiguration, CrossValidationResult, AgentConfig, AgentRecommendation, and DeploymentConfiguration to constructor 2. DeepCopy: Same as WithParameters for consistency 3. Deserialize: Now assigns all RAG components (RagRetriever, RagReranker, RagGenerator, QueryProcessors) and configuration properties (LoRAConfiguration, CrossValidationResult, AgentConfig, AgentRecommendation, DeploymentConfiguration) from deserialized object This fixes the issue where deployment/export/runtime settings, LoRA configurations, and meta-learning properties were lost when calling WithParameters, DeepCopy, or Deserialize. * fix: correct onnx field numbers and address pr review comments CRITICAL: Fix ONNX TensorProto field number compliance: - OnnxProto.cs: Change field 3 → 8 for tensor name per ONNX spec - OnnxToCoreMLConverter.cs: Fix all TensorProto fields (1=dims, 2=data_type, 8=name, 9=raw_data) - Previous incorrect field numbers would cause empty tensor names and broken shape inference Additional fixes: - CoreMLExporter.cs: Fix QuantizationBits mapping (Int8→8, Float16→16, default→32) - TensorRTConfiguration.cs: Use ArgumentException instead of ArgumentNullException for whitespace validation - ModelExporterBase.cs: Remove redundant null check (IsNullOrWhiteSpace handles null) Addresses PR #486 review comments #1, #2, #4, #5, #6 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com> * style: use ternary operator for coreml config assignment Simplify CoreMLExporter.cs by using ternary conditional operator instead of if/else for CoreMLConfiguration assignment.

Q-table serialization is not implemented, users should use GetParameters/SetParameters for state transfer. Issue 2 (Clone state preservation): Implemented deep-copy of Q-table, eligibility traces, active trace states, and epsilon value in Clone() method. Cloned agents now preserve full learned state instead of starting fresh. Issue 3 (State dimension validation): Added comprehensive null and dimension validation in GetStateKey(). Validates state is not null and state.Length matches _options.StateSize before generating state key. Issue 4 (Performance optimization): Implemented active trace tracking using HashSet<string> to track states with non-zero traces. Only iterates over active states during updates instead of all states in Q-table. Removes states from active set when traces decay below 1e-10 threshold. Issue 5 (Input validation): Added null checks for state, action, and nextState parameters in StoreExperience(). Validates action vector is not empty before processing. Issue 6 (Parameter length validation): Implemented strict parameter length validation in SetParameters(). Validates parameter vector length matches expected size (states × actions) and throws ArgumentException with detailed message on mismatch. All fixes follow production standards: no null-forgiving operator, proper null handling with 'is not null' pattern, PascalCase properties, net462 compatibility. Performance optimized with active trace tracking significantly reduces computational overhead for large Q-tables. * fix: resolve all 6 critical issues in muzeroagent implementation Fix 6 unresolved PR review comments (5 CRITICAL): 1. Clone() constructor - Verified already correct (no optimizer param) 2. MCTS backup algorithm - CRITICAL - Add Rewards dictionary to MCTSNode for predicted rewards - Extract rewards from dynamics network in ExpandNode - Fix backup to use: value = reward + discount * value - Implement proper incremental mean Q-value update 3.
