Bindings for CNTK library
Simple low level bindings for CNTK library from Microsoft.
Status
Currently exploring ways how to interact with C++ API nicely from Rust. Expect a lot of breaking changes.
Build scripts are not ready yet, might not work outside of 64bit linux.
Building and installing
You need to have CNTK-2.2 installed and paths to includes and library files in relevant enviroment variables (cntk activate scripts does this well). You also need g++-4.8 installed (because CNTK uses it to compile things).
Other limitations
Only works with single precision (f32 in Rust, float in C++) types. Only works with dense representations of vectors/matrices/tensors. Only works with ASCII strings for variable names and filenames.
Roadmap
- Figure out how to pass data in and out. Currently
Value::batchfor input andValue::to_vecshould be enough. - Variable creation. - Some basics are there
- Gradients. - Possible to do backward pass
- Training simple feed forward net. - Possible.
- Save and load model. - Possible.
- Training recurrent or seq2seq net. - Recurrences are possible.
- Convnets.
- Code for most operations. (probably generated). - Currently only selected ones are supported.
- Write some meaningful examples. - Only in tests now.
- Catch all relevant C++ exceptions
- Better build scripts.
