Project Highlights

  • TorchLiter

    • Customizable and light-weight neural network training toolbox
    • Built on PyTorch
    • Pronounced "Torch Lighter"
  • MNIST-Detection

    • Randomly scattered MNIST digits for quick detector experimentation
    • You can also use FashionMNIST or alike
  • MasonJar

    • Repo-free experiment containerization
    • Build, test, and push Docker images all in Python
    • Reuse experiement images through Python class inheritance
  • Mario

    • Kubeflow is very much like Tensorflow (of course they share the last name)
    • Mario is the Kera or PyTorch of Kubeflow
    • Users can intuitively build pipelines without lengthy and confusing API bureaucracy
  • Groot

    • Manage and visualize hierarchical concepts in style
    • Serialize trees in compact yaml files
    • Organize concepts by level and represent concepts by atomic concepts
  • Varius

    • Perform calculations in various hypothetical scenarios with ease
    • Symbolic manipulations based on Sympy
    • Great tool for case study or back-of-envelope calculations
    • Almost pure Python, highly portable, even on mobile devices, calculation on the go
  • Machine Learning Blog
