I have written software that makes my research possible:
Theano
Theano is a Python library for defining, optimizing, and evaluating array expressions efficiently. It can evaluate expressions using dynamically compiled GPU code. Although it can be confusing at first to use symbolic processing within a Python program, the technique is very powerful. At Geoffrey Hinton’s CIFAR NCAP Summer School in Aug 2011, someone reported that he “never really understood the LSTM until he wrote it in Theano.”
Projects
- Theano: Python array expression library with GPU support.
- Deep Learning Tutorials: Introduction to deep learning with Theano.
- PyLearn: Machine learning library leveraging Theano.
- MonteTheano: Probabilistic inference on stochastic Theano expressions.
Scikits.data
Scikits.data is a new project, providing a standard approach to working with a wide variety of datasets in Python: small toy datasets, enormous video datasets, infinite synthetic datasets, datasets for classification, datasets for structured regression problems and sequential prediction. It includes dataset-specific code to download, unpack, and parse the files of various datasets. It also defines protocols called tasks that make it possible to write dataset-independent learning algorithms.
