RIP Theano

Before TensorFlow, PyTorch and Caffe; Theano was the major library for deep learning development. However, the library's development and support will end after the upcoming Theano 1.0 release.

Before TensorFlow, PyTorch and Caffe; Theano was the major library for deep learning development. However, the library’s development and support will end after the upcoming Theano 1.0 release.

The news came in an email from Theano’s main developer Pascal Lamblin and Yoshua Bengio, notable expert on artificial neural networks and deep learning. “We will continue minimal maintenance to keep it working for one year, but we will stop actively implementing new features. Supporting Theano is no longer the best way we can enable the emergence and application of novel research ideas,” wrote Prof. Bengio.

Lack of continuous support and maintenance is considered the biggest reason for Theano’s demise. Unlike Google and Microsoft which have maintained support for TensorFlow and Caffe, the Montreal Institute for Leaning Algorithms (MILA), creator and maintainer of Theano, cannot afford to keep the library running on a regular basis.

Founded in 2010, Theano is an open-source library that helps users to provide mathematical expressions in Python, and combines the convenience of NumPy’s syntax with the speed of optimized native machine language. Theano was the first framework to enable rapid experimentation with neural network architectures and easy translation between Python and C/CUDA code. Its automatic gradient computation was later adopted by other libraries like TensorFlow.

Theano inspired both academia and industry with various innovations, such as expressing models as mathematical expressions, rewriting computation graphs for better performance and memory usage, transparent execution on GPU, and higher-order automatic differentiation. Notable contributors to Theano included experts such as Ian Goodfellow, Staff Research Scientist at Google Brain and godfather of GANs(Generative adversarial networks).

Theano supporters responded to its discontinuation with both regret and gratitude. Reddit user “Deskates” wrote: “Its important to think about the impact which Theano actually created. Many people approached deep learning (thanks to Theano). I feel a debt of gratitude towards those who contributed to it over the years, making it such a great tool. I remember reading the tutorials at deeplearning.net which was probably the starting point for me.”

As an early inspirational library, Theano was deeply involved in the spawning of state-of-the-art deep learning algorithms. It may be inevitable to see a once mainstream library retire, but Theano’s legacy probably lives in many of today’s deep learning frameworks.

    could I get that kind of info written in such an ideal method?
    I have a undertaking that I am just now working on, and I’ve been on the look out
    for such information.

    I really like the design of the product. Being
    this is my first bullet/egg, I was not quite sure what to expect as far as
    use goes. Being that I am a beginner with this type of product, I would definitely advise it for beginners,
    but this is a great product that could also be enjoyed by advanced users.
    “even genetics are not always exact.”The vast majority of Humanity’s DNA is about
    99% the same in everyone, but we’re still totally different from
    eachother, both physically and psychologically. It’s because every cell
    processes the data differently. It is not meant to and
    cannot substitute for advice or care provided by an in person medical professional.

    strap on Let’s talk erectile tissue. For starters, genitals aren’t the only place
    we can have that kind of tissue, no matter our gender or embodiment.
    There is erectile tissue in the penis, and also in the clitoris (and I’m talking
    about the whole of the clitoris, not just the
    external glans, and the whole clitoral structure is usually about the same size as
    a penis, leaving room for the fact that both penis and clitoral size
    vary). The only texture on the Dichroic Glass Dildo is a series of 3 bumps located below the head.
    The nubs are about 1/2 inch wide, and are raised about 1/4
    inch above the shaft. During use, the texture won’t be felt by the
    vaginal or anal opening, but will rub up against the g spot or
    prostate providing extra stimulation. strap on

    adult stores near me This toy is waterproof and can be taken into any body of water.
    Inside the battery lodge, I did not find an O ring barrier that would
    prevent water from entering the toy and harming it. This factor made me want to test it out,
    and after a trip in the shower it still works.. Talk to
    him about it. Relationships are all about communication, so if this bothers you, then you need to let
    him know. Don’t accuse him of anything, just try to be supportive and let him know what your concerns are.
    And finally: For me, the experiences and thoughts I have as
    a depressed person are beautifully expressed in countless famous works of literature and art, and I
    feel a particular connection with the creators.
    When I happen to be feeling better for a while I
    kind of stop relating to what’s being expressed perfectly in my favorite books and pieces, and that’s scary.
    I think that kind of grasps at that fear of losing the depressed
    “you”. adult stores near me

    g spot vibrator It has the interested feature of having a giant bullet vibe stuck just
    under the head; creating an incredible sensation. The vibrations are intense throughout the whole upper portion of the vibe,
    and the bullet increases the thickness of the upper shaft.
    An intense sensation it is, and one that benefits both Jen and myself..

    The real strength of American higher education is its
    range of options public and private, specialized and applied and general.
    Acceleration is a useful option, but it is not going to have
    a Bologna like effect on American college culture. Let it take hold, and let students try it.

    dildo My mind understood that I had to do it, but my body wouldn stop crying
    and convulsing. At that point, I started throwing up while a set frozen still waited to shoot.
    I had to take a tranquilizer, which eventually stopped the crying but made the vomiting worse.
    The base is 9.5 inches in circumference and about 3.25 inches in diameter, and from
    my measurements, it sits about 1.25 inches high. There are some
    definite pluses to this. It makes a great handle to hold onto for insertion and removal, but if
    you are wanting to use this toy for double penetration during intercourse, the
    base can get in the way and be distracting, depending on your
    anatomy and positioning. dildo

    dildos I have never tried any type electrical toy.
    Right now the Tingle and the controller are on sale and I am intrigued by this toy.
    However, I am wondering if it is worth the price. There are many people
    that just don enjoy sex. They may have had sex and relaized it did nothing for them, or they
    just aren interested in intercourse. It a lifestyle choice.
    There is a plastic casing that holds the watch
    batteries that slides in and out of the compartment, not so easily.
    To get it out, you have to first try to pop out the first battery, then stick your finger in to take the compartment out.

    Their reason for doing this is probably so that the batteries do not jostle around in use.

    adult store This is the United States, and people have the freedom of speech, press and expression to justly slam a stupid show
    when it appears on the air and is an embarrassment to an entire region. Bravo
    should cancel this stupid show, and all of its stupid “housewife” shows today, effective immediately,
    for the good and betterment of intelligence and
    society. It’s one thing to be a legitimate critic and quite another to attack someone personally and with malice and damage their business by
    mischaracterizing it. adult store

    vibrators Penn2020, Higher Ed isn’t even the real scandal.
    They are doing this nation wide in public elementary and secondary schools with their other arm,
    Kaplan K12 Learning Services. Yes, beginning in Kindergarten, they have a
    business plan that allows them to tap right into your local public education budget, without your ever
    knowing. Our society puts a lot of emphasis on the penis it’s a Big Bad Hard Rod, it’s a symbol of
    power (Washington Monument, anyone?), it’s a man’s precious ‘jewels’ so it’s no
    wonder that the inexperienced often find it intimidating.
    If you’re going to enjoy your partner’s penis and give it pleasure, though, you’ve got to get over that.

    You need to make friends with the penis. vibrators

    cock ring Anyways, I mentioned to my husband my thoughts.
    I not sure what I wear for a top but I imagine wearing some
    type of stockings and a skirt. I would wear a collar that has an option for a leash and he would have that end.

    So rather than wanting one partner to accept that you are a
    woman, you need a partner who does accept that you are a woman already.

    Being able to do that is a really admirable thing.
    Being trans friendly and also right now it doesn’t sound like them having a particular gender is
    something you are invested in right now). cock ring

    dildos When used in water, I find the sensation of the beads as they slip out somewhat dulled, but still pleasurable.
    The feeling of water travelling down you body makes
    up for it. I know that my man will love to play with these together, especially in the shower, but they
    really are just as effective as a solo toy. The toy measure
    a total length of 8 3/4″ and 5″ insertable with a circumference of 4 1/4″ and a diameter of 1 1/4″.
    The size allows this toy to be easily hidden in a bedside
    table or under a pillow. But, let me just say to those size queens reading this don’t say nay to this rabbit just yet.

    penis pump Maybe there’s a certain dymanic in the intercourse you’re
    having that isn’t working for you. For instance,
    if you’re always put in the lead (or vice versa), maybe you’re not so keen on that.
    Or perhaps the intercourse you’re having is too rough or too
    gentle for you, too fast or too slow, too mushy gushy with the romance or too without
    it, the works.. The following week. I heard that he
    was flirting with other girls, freak dancing and that he gave them his email address.

    Im not really sure but thats what i heard from a gurl that goes to our school.
    penis pump

    penis pump The wrinkling is a response to two principles.
    It is responding to torque. If you hold it more at the end,
    the neck with suffer more damage. When you get to the one you like, simply play away.
    When you are ready to shut it down, simply hold in the button for a few extra seconds.

    The light around the ring will illuminate with each pulse that they toy does,
    it is a continuous light on the straight
    vibration mode and will shut off when the toy is turned off.
    I also am very self conscious about the amount of hair I have.
    My clit is pretty small which makes pinpointing it annoying.
    But it works fine despite the size penis pump.
