To that end, we provide a new framework called Torch7, that is especially suited to achieve both of these competing goals. Torch7 is a versatile numeric computing framework and machine learning library that extends a very lightweight and powerful programming language Lua. Its goal is to provide a flexible environment to design, train and deploy learning machines. Flexibility is obtained via Lua, an extremely lightweight scripting language. High performance is obtained via efficient OpenMP/SSE and CUDA implementations of low-level numeric routines. Torch7 can also easily be interfaced to third-party software thanks to Lua’s light C interface.}, pdf = {https://publications.idiap.ch/attachments/papers/2012/Collobert_SPRINGER_2012.pdf} }
