there's clear and well stack-traces at the lua level. there's great debugger (in fblualib, called fb.debugger). there's an inbuilt profiler into LuaJIT. too bad you've had a bad experience.

googlenet already has 5.5%, they published it at a bay area meetup, but did not officially publish the numbers yet!

With the power-draw of those things, I think it would be a little tricky in the short term for tablets (and even harder for phones)

In these deep relu networks which are not renormalized in between, (like overfeat which has no normalization), some of the activations become pretty big in size! (in the order of 1e3). You also cant clip them and get away with it, you have

meta-optimizers need to factor in a few more things like memory usage. Right now the FFT modules are insanely memory-hungry, and the versions written with reasonable memory usage (Michael Mathieu wrote one), are not as fast as batched CuFFT

Can someone familiar compare and contrast it with iPython Notebook (which also has support for any language/package that writes an ipython kernel plugin)

I like square cash a tad more! It supports any platform (by design) and it works great for me.

I dont mean to hijack the post, but I recently found LinkedIn's resume generator http://resume.linkedinlabs.com/ and I love it. Would Purzue have a plugin to import your LinkedIn profile or Github profile for example?

my biggest annoyance with LuaJIT is the lack of 64-bit addressing, and there's no easy fix for this. Mike Pall said he'd fix it in LuaJIT 3.0 (with an overhaul of the GC), whenever that'll be. http://hacksoflife.bl

Someone I met recently said this (in rough words): "When I'm writing rough code in lua, it's completely acceptable to do a couple of for loops here and there without a disaster in speed. With python, this was a complete melt

One thing that isn't really supported yet :-( We have support for doing complex FFTs etc. in the signal package, but otherwise, it is non-existent.

caffe definitely grew in popularity very quickly, and it does a narrow set of tasks very well, but I dont agree that the code is cleaner (in fact I think the opposite), and I dont see the design to be particularly broad-minded (i.e. generic

Oh, dont get me started about Lush :), this is my personal opinion, but I tried to use lush for a bit, and I ran away as fast as I can. However, in retrospect, that's probably because it was the first functional programming language th

It should be mostly compatible already, but torch9 (the next version which is getting ready) should be fully compatible I think.

Sure, the best way to get attention is to open an issue on github.com/torch/torch7 (that way you get the attention of all the core developers). If you'd like to ask something more discrete, I'd suggest you email one of t

I'm writing a calculus package that's inspired by Julia's, which would have an automatic differentiation engine, but it is nowhere close to being finished, nor is it a priority at this point. So sadly, we wont see Sander usin

I am one of the maintainers. From information first-hand, Torch is used by: - Facebook - Google DeepMind and slowly Google Brain is moving as well. - Certain people at IBM - NYU - IDIAP - LISA LAB (not exclusively, but some students started
