About: Nowadays this is very popular to use the deep architectures in machine learning. Deep Belief Networks (DBNs) are deep architectures that use a stack of Restricted Boltzmann Machines (RBM) to create a powerful generative model using training data. DBNs have many abilities such as feature extraction and classification that are used in many applications including image processing, speech processing, text categorization, etc. This paper introduces a new object oriented toolbox with the most important abilities needed for the implementation of DBNs. According to the results of the experiments conducted on the MNIST (image), ISOLET (speech), and the 20 Newsgroups (text) datasets, it was shown that the toolbox can learn automatically a good representation of the input from unlabeled data with better discrimination between different classes. Also on all the aforementioned datasets, the obtained classification errors are comparable to those of the state of the art classifiers. In addition, the toolbox supports different sampling methods (e.g. Gibbs, CD, PCD and our new FEPCD method), different sparsity methods (quadratic, rate distortion and our new normal method), different RBM types (generative and discriminative), GPU based, etc. The toolbox is a user-friendly open source software in MATLAB and Octave and is freely available on the website.

New in toolbox

• Using GPU in Backpropagation
• Revision of some demo scripts
• Function approximation with multiple outputs
• Feature extraction with GRBM in first layer

About: RLLib is a lightweight C++ template library that implements incremental, standard, and gradient temporal-difference learning algorithms in Reinforcement Learning. It is an optimized library for robotic applications and embedded devices that operates under fast duty cycles (e.g., < 30 ms). RLLib has been tested and evaluated on RoboCup 3D soccer simulation agents, physical NAO V4 humanoid robots, and Tiva C series launchpad microcontrollers to predict, control, learn behaviors, and represent learnable knowledge. The implementation of the RLLib library is inspired by the RLPark API, which is a library of temporal-difference learning algorithms written in Java.

Current release version is v2.0.

About: This is the source code of the mloss.org website.

Now works with newer django versions and fixes several warnings and minor bugs underneath. The only user visible change is probably that the subscription and bookmark buttons work again.

About: HSSVM is a software for solving multi-class problem using Hyper-sphere Support Vector Machines model, implemented by Java.

1. From this version, the version number is normalized to hssvm1.0.1;
2. In this version, we delete the features about running parameter searching and run-all from Ant script, that is, commands "ant search-param" and "ant run-all" which exist in previous version are no longer available, and they are replaced with commands "svm search conf" and "svm runall conf", both of them are used on Linux(or all other POSIX systems).If you want to use this program on Windows, the cygwin is required to be installed.

About: The Universal Java Matrix Package (UJMP) is a data processing tool for Java. Unlike JAMA and Colt, it supports multi-threading and is therefore much faster on current hardware. It does not only support matrices with double values, but instead handles every type of data as a matrix through a common interface, e.g. CSV files, Excel files, images, WAVE audio files, tables in SQL data bases, and much more.

About: Bob is a free signal-processing and machine learning toolbox originally developed by the Biometrics group at Idiap Research Institute, in Switzerland.

Bob 1.2.0 comes about 1 year after we released Bob 1.0.0. This new release comes with a big set of new features and lots of changes under the hood to make your experiments run even smoother. Some statistics:

Diff URL: https://github.com/idiap/bob/compare/v1.1.4...HEAD Commits: 629 Files changed: 954 Contributors: 7

Here is a quick list of things you should pay attention for while integrating your satellite packages against Bob 1.2.x:

• The LBP module had its API changed look at the online docs for more details
• LLRTrainer has been renamed to CGLogRegTrainer
• The order in which you pass data to CGLogRegTrainer has been inverted (negatives now go first)
• For C++ bindings, includes are in bob/python instead of bob/core/python
• All specialized Bob exceptions are gone, if you were catching them, most have been cast into std::runtime_error's
