About: A collection of python code to perform research in optimization. The aim is to provide reusable components that can be quickly applied to machine learning problems. Used in: - Ellipsoidal multiple instance learning - difference of convex functions algorithms for sparse classfication - Contextual bandits upper confidence bound algorithm (using GP) - learning output kernels, that is kernels between the labels of a classifier.

About: APRIL-ANN toolkit (A Pattern Recognizer In Lua with Artificial Neural Networks). This toolkit incorporates ANN algorithms (as dropout, stacked denoising auto-encoders, convolutional neural networks), with other pattern recognition methods as hidden makov models (HMMs) among others.

• Updated home repository link to follow april-org github organization.
• Improved serialize/deserialize functions, reimplemented all the serialization procedure.
• Added exceptions support to LuaPkg and APRIL-ANN, allowing to capture C++ errors into Lua code.

  ctor_params() in Lua, refered to luaCtorName() and luaCtorParams() in C++.
• Added cast.to to dynamic cast C++ objects pushed into Lua, allowing to convert base class objects into any of its derived classes.
• Added matrix.sparse as valid values for targets in ann.loss.mse and
  ann.loss.cross_entropy.
• Changed matrix metamethods __index and __newindex, allowing to use
  matrix objects with standard Lua operator[].
• Added matrix.masked_fill and matrix.masked_copy matrix.
• Added matrix.indexed_fill and matrix.indexed_copy matrix.

  ann.components.right_probabilistic_matrix.
• Added operator[] in the right side of matrix operations.
• Added ann.components.transpose.
• Added max_gradients_norm in traianble.supervised_trainer, to avoid gradients exploding.
• Added ann.components.actf.sparse_logistic a logistic activation function with sparsity penalty.
• Simplified math.add, math.sub, ... and other math extensions for reductions, their original behavior can be emulated by using bind function.
• Added bind function to freeze any positional argument of any Lua function.
• Function stats.boot uses multiple_unpack to allow a table of sizes and the generation of multiple index matrices.
• Added multiple_unpack Lua function.
• Added __tostring metamethod to numeric memory blocks in Lua.
• Added dataset.token.sparse_matrix, a dataset which allow to traverse by rows a sparse matrix instance.
• Added matrix.sparse.builders.dok, a builder which uses the Dictionary-of-Keys format to construct a sparse matrix from scratch.

About: Caffe aims to provide computer vision scientists with a clean, modifiable implementation of state-of-the-art deep learning algorithms. We believe that Caffe is the fastest available GPU CNN implementation. Caffe also provides seamless switching between CPU and GPU, which allows one to train models with fast GPUs and then deploy them on non-GPU clusters. Even in CPU mode, computing predictions on an image takes only 20 ms (in batch mode).
