Description: Implements a method that builds the coefficients of a
        polynomial model that performs almost equivalently as a given
        neural network (densely connected). This is achieved using
        Taylor expansion at the activation functions.  The obtained
        polynomial coefficients can be used to explain features (and
        their interactions) importance in the neural network, therefore
        working as a tool for interpretability or eXplainable
        Artificial Intelligence (XAI). See Morala et al. 2021
        <doi:10.1016/j.neunet.2021.04.036>, and 2023
        <doi:10.1109/TNNLS.2023.3330328>.
