Dlib, when I used it for work, was a real pleasure to use. Some of its algorithms are actually state-of-the-art compared to other (often better known) open-source implementations. I would even say some of the advantages my team had over our competitors were partly due to our deeper understanding of the library ecosystem and using libraries like dlib instead of more popular default choices.
edit: grammar
- wanderingmind 5y agoDoes dlib use boost or lapack/scalapack underneath the hood for parallel linear algebra operations?
- quanto 5y agoDlib can use whichever BLAS library you want it to.
- arrufat 5y agoHave a look at this paper, not only does it support BLAS, but is also capable of rearranging matrix operations to make better use of BLAS routines. EDIT: the paper https://jmlr.csail.mit.edu/papers/volume10/king09a/king09a.pdf https://jmlr.csail.mit.edu/papers/volume10/king09a/king09a.p...
- wanderingmind 5y agoThank you. I will read the paper. I'm looking for an alternative to pytorch which works great for toy problems but starts to suffer at scale.
- theriddlr 5y agoSecond this. Used this in production to train custom detectors with headgear on.
- CodeGlitch 5y agoHere's an interview I came across with the creator (Davis King) of dlib: https://www.pyimagesearch.com/2017/03/13/an-interview-with-davis-king-creator-of-the-dlib-toolkit/ https://www.pyimagesearch.com/2017/03/13/an-interview-with-d... Goes into some interesting details, and is a library that I'm definitely going to check out.
