+## Mini-NN (Rust Implementation)
+
+A complete neural network implementation in pure Rust, built from first principles. No ML frameworks - just linear algebra with `ndarray`.
+
+### 🏆 Results
+
+Tested on the **Titanic Survival Prediction** dataset:
+
+| Method | Accuracy |
+|--------|----------|
+| Logistic Regression | ~77% |
+| Random Forest | ~78% |
+| Gradient Boosting | ~80% |
+| sklearn Neural Network | ~79% |
+| Top Kaggle Submissions | ~83% |
+| **Our Mini-NN** | **84.3%** ✨ |
+
