Chainer: A flexible and intuitive framework for complex neural networks

Open source software frameworks are the key for applying deep learning technologies. Orion Wolfe and Shohei Hido introduce Chainer, a Python-based standalone framework that enables users to intuitively implement many kinds of other models, including recurrent neural networks, with a lot of flexibility and comparable performance to GPUs.

Open source software frameworks are the key for applying deep learning technologies. Due to the success of Caffe, Torch, Theano, and TensorFlow, the power of deep learning continues to expand beyond traditional pattern recognition tasks such as image recognition. However, the gap is rapidly increasing between the complexities of newly proposed neural network models and the capabilities of existing frameworks, which have been mainly used for convolutional neural networks. Orion Wolfe and Shohei Hido introduce Chainer, a Python-based standalone framework that enables users to intuitively implement many kinds of other models, including recurrent neural networks, with a lot of flexibility and comparable performance to GPUs.
