Hi guys,

First of all, I have to mention, that I have almost no experience with kind of 
models. From tensorflow I have been looking a bit at tensorflow probability[1].
Could imagine that also v.class.ml[2] and r.learn.ml[3] could give some 
inspiration how such libraries could be plugged into GRASS in principle. Other 
interesting modelling libraries would be PyMC3[4] or Stan[5].
Just for mentioning it.

I can imagine that IO is particularly important for parallelism in these 
libraries...
Maybe it would be possible develop a general framework for this?

Cheers
Stefan

I have a working prototype of GRASS – Keras bridge (still needs a lot of work 
to fix all edge cases + support of second image_data_format).
My first approach was to use pure Python code, but it turned out to be realllly 
slooow. Large parts have to be written in C (linked via ctypes). Currently 
there still is a speed penality due to GRASS raster code not supporting 
mutlithreaded applications. It all can be worked around.

Developing any high speed interface between ML libraries and GRASS needs some 
(good) understanding of working with multidimensional arrays in C and GRASS 
rasters in C.
