Directly program to develop a neural network can be difficult, a deep learning framework helps people to build neural networks using simple codes, usually you just need design the architecture of your network, which optimizer you want to use, what is your loss function, and so on, the framework will help you do not the rest of things. With these frameworks, not only experts in programming can create their own networks, for someone who is not good at programming can also create their first network after studying these frameworks.

Because deep learning becomes a very hot topic in Artificial Intelligence, not only companies (like Google, Nvidia, Microsoft) but also some Universities (UC Berkeley) are working on develop or maintain a framework. This wiki page helps you have a quick overview on different frameworks of deep learning, you can choose your favorite one based on your programming skill and the operating system of your PC. In this wiki page, 2 frameworks TensorFlow and CNTK are introduced in detail, these 2 frameworks are wily used both in academia and industry.

Introduction

Choosing which framework to design and train the neural network can be a problem for most of the beginners. In order to make reader have a clear overview on different frameworks and to choose the most proper framework based on the favorite programming language and the operating system of readers' personal computer, a table is made below. Three frameworks are open source and free to download.

    Hi, 

    I have found some mistakes and possible corrections. While writing try to form simple sentences and try to avoid unnecessarily complex sentences.

    TensorFlow is an open source software library for numerical computation using data flow graphs. Nodes in the graph represent mathematical operations, while the graph edges represent the multidimensional data arrays (tensors) communicated between them.

    TensorFlow is an open source software library for numerical computation using data flow graphs. Nodes in the graph represent mathematical operations, while the graph edges represent the multidimensional data arrays (tensors), which communicates between them.

    The flexible architecture allows user to deploy computation to one or more CPUs or GPUs in a desktop, server, or mobile device with a single API.(The meaning is not clear)


    TensorFlow was originally developed by researchers and engineers working on the Google Brain Team within Google's Machine Intelligence research organization for the purposes of conducting machine learning and deep neural networks research, but the system is general enough to be applicable in a wide variety of other domains as well. Read this wiki page, you will be able to:

    Suggestions:
    - link each paragraph to a source

    - write the full word (example: operations instead of ops)

    - be consistent (example: 4-d,4-D, 4d) … use always the same

    The detailed installation steps for binary installation can be summarized as follows:

    1. Step 1: Download and prepare the Microsoft Cognitive Toolkit
    2. Step 2 Prepare to run PowerShell scripts
    3. Step 3 Run the Powershell installation script
    4. Step 4 Update your GPU Driver
    5. Step 5 Verify the setup from Python
    6. Step 6: Verify the setup for BrainScript

    I’m not sure by this one:
    Implemented Activation Functions:

    Sigmoid(x)

    Tanh(x)

    ReLU(x)

    Softmax(x, axis=0)

    LogSoftmax(x)

    Hardmax(x)

    I thought Softmax is a classification function and not a activation function.

    Hey Bo,

    I am arranging the tree of the Wiki at the moment and i have 2 point I would like to change in your page if they are OK with you.

    First one is; would it be fine for you if I rename your code pages (including your link names within your page) to "Example1", "Example2 etc. ?

    Secondly, can we divide this page to a structure like this (as suggested by the original tree desing):

    Introduction to CNN Tools (most common)

    1. Tensorflow 

    2. CNTK 

    Please let me know as soon as possible so i can proceed with the changes and finalize the tree structure.

      Hello Can,

      I am OK with that.

    I need you to stop editing the page for 15 minutes so I can divide and migrate it. Let me know when i can proceed and I will let you know when it's done.
