About: This project is a C++ toolkit containing machine learning algorithms and tools for creating complex software in C++ to solve real world problems.

This release adds a bunch of new image processing routines as well as many minor usability improvements and bug fixes.

About: ITE (Information Theoretical Estimators) is capable of estimating many different variants of entropy, mutual information, divergence, association measures, cross quantities and kernels on distributions. Thanks to its highly modular design, ITE supports additionally (i) the combinations of the estimation techniques, (ii) the easy construction and embedding of novel information theoretical estimators, and (iii) their immediate application in information theoretical optimization problems.

• Conditional Shannon entropy estimation: added.

• Conditional Shannon mutual information estimation: included.

About: A fast, flexible C++ machine learning library, with bindings to other languages.

Released June 8th, 2018.

• Documentation generation fixes for Python bindings (#1421).
• Fix build error for man pages if command-line bindings are not being built (#1424).
• Add shuffle parameter and Shuffle() method to KFoldCV (#1412). This will shuffle the data when the object is constructed, or when Shuffle() is called.
• Added neural network layers: AtrousConvolution (#1390), Embedding (#1401), and LayerNorm (layer normalization) (#1389).
• Add Pendulum environment for reinforcement learning (#1388) and update Mountain Car environment (#1394).

About: The SHOGUN machine learning toolbox's focus is on large scale learning methods with focus on Support Vector Machines (SVM), providing interfaces to python, octave, matlab, r and the command line.

About: The GPML toolbox is a flexible and generic Octave/Matlab implementation of inference and prediction with Gaussian process models. The toolbox offers exact inference, approximate inference for non-Gaussian likelihoods (Laplace's Method, Expectation Propagation, Variational Bayes) as well for large datasets (FITC, VFE, KISS-GP). A wide range of covariance, likelihood, mean and hyperprior functions allows to create very complex GP models.
