+Refinement of the approach for deep NNMF networks shown in:

+```
+Competitive performance and superior noise robustness of a non-negative deep convolutional spiking network

+```
+
+Now a normal ADAM optimiser will work.  
+
+The BP learning rule is taken from here (it was derived for a spike-based SbS system, but it works exactly the same for NNMF):
