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.

Updated to version 0.3.0

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).

MALLET 2.0 RC4 Release Notes July 16, 2009

Major updates:

An implementation of generalized expectation criteria training of MaxEnt classifiers and methods for obtaining constraints (c.f. Gregory Druck, Gideon Mann, Andrew McCallum "Learning from Labeled Features using Generalized Expectation Criteria.")

PagedInstanceList has been substantially rewritten by Mike Bond.

Bug fixes to topic model hyperparameter optimization and topic inference.

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.

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
