Frameworks

In this course, we'll use the following technology stack for deep learning

• Theano (symbolic computation graphs)
• Lasagne(neural networks)
• Agentnet(deep reinforcement learning) - only if you decide to complete the deep reinforcement learning assignments.

A simple roadmap to installing them can be found here -

• only theano and lasagne - pick bleeding edge version
• all 3 of them
• docker container with all 3

The frameworks can be easily installed on Mac OS and Linux. Windows installation is, a bit tougher, so if you don't feel like it, try using docker (e.g. kitematic gui or console on windows).

If you so want, you can use any other framework for your projects, but we can't guarantee we'll be able to support it.

Any issues concerning installation can just as well be sent to this thread.
