+the function defined in this file needs the name of a model as an input
+it then converts the model into a dictonary of numpy.arrays, which can then be accessed by name of the individual layer
+it is also possible to give the function the name of a layer you are interessted, which lets the function only return weights of that layer
+when excecuting the file itself it will print out the name of every layer of the given model along with size of the weight matrix/bias
