Facebook宣布开源深度学习人工智能工具[摘要]Facebook的人工智能研究团队今天宣布,将开源其深度学习人工智能工具。
Facebook的人工智能研究团队今天宣布,将开源其深度学习人工智能工具。
Facebook将通过Torch库发布这一软件。Torch是一个协助机器学习技术开发的开源环境,被学术界,以及谷歌、Twitter和英特尔等公司在研究中广泛使用。
Facebook表示,相对于Torch中的默认软件,其深度学习模块的执行速度要更快。这将帮助研究人员在更短的时间内开发规模更大的神经网络。
Facebook希望,分享这一工具将推动整个深度学习研究领域的发展。(李玮)
Facebook open-sources its deep-learning AI tools
Facebook is sharing some of its technology. The company’s artificial intelligence research team today announced that it is open sourcing its deep-learning AI tools.
The software will be available on the Torch library, which serves as an open-source environment for machine learning development. Torch is widely used for research in academia, as well as by companies like Google, Twitter and Intel.
Facebook claims its deep-learning modules are significantly quicker than the default ones available through Torch, and allow the company to work on larger neural networks in less time.
Notable improvements include a 23.5x speed-up over publicly available convolutional layer codes, and the ability to parallelize neural networks training over GPU cards.
The company hopes sharing its tools will help optimize progress across the entire deep-learning research landscape.
