* Package name : minerva Version : 0.0~git20150804.7d21ed2 Upstream Author : Yuptan Li <hotpxl...@gmail.com> * URL : https://github.com/dmlc/minerva * License : Apache-2.0 Programming Lang: C++/Python Description : deep learning framework Minerva is a deep learning library with a Numpy like NDarray programming interface, and Python bindings implemented in Cython. It supports CPU and (also multi) GPU processing via CUDA (therefore it is going to be a contrib candidate). However there are two questions concerning packaging this, there hasn't been much development in the past months which is a little bit noticeable [1], and instead of other deep learning frameworks already included into Debian Minerva *must* have cuDNN [2] available for GPU processing, which isn't yet. So, I would like to watch the project if it's active and when cuDNN would become available (which would be highly appreciated for the Caffe and Theano which could employ this to speed up) this could be a packaging candidate. Moreinfo when this questions have been solved. Thanks, DS [1] there hasn't been no official stable release (no tags?) but Minerva is commonly mentioned among the "big" deep leaning frameworks (Caffe, Tensorflow, Theano etc.), like here: https://developer.nvidia.com/deep-learning-software.
