ResNeXt
Implementation of a classification framework
ResNeXt is a deep neural network architecture for image classification built on the idea of aggregated residual transformations. Instead of simply increasing depth or width, ResNeXt introduces a new dimension called cardinality, which refers to the number of parallel transformation paths (i.e. the number of “branches”) that are aggregated together. Each branch is a small transformation (e.g. bottleneck block) and their outputs are summed—this enables richer representation without excessive parameter blowup. The design is modular and homogeneous, making it relatively easy to scale (by tuning cardinality, width, depth) and adopt in existing residual frameworks. The official repository offers a Torch (Lua) implementation with code for training, evaluation, and pretrained models on ImageNet. In practice, ResNeXt models often outperform standard ResNet models of comparable complexity. -

char-rnn
Multi-layer Recurrent Neural Networks (LSTM, GRU, RNN)
char-rnn is a classic codebase for training multi-layer recurrent neural networks on raw text to build character-level language models that learn to predict the next character in a sequence. It supports common recurrent architectures including vanilla RNNs as well as LSTM and GRU variants, letting users compare behavior and output quality across model types. It is straightforward: you provide a single text file, train the model to minimize next-character prediction loss, then sample from the trained network to generate new text one character at a time in the style of the dataset. The project is designed for experimentation, offering tunable settings for depth, hidden size, dropout, sequence length, and sampling temperature to control creativity and coherence. It is frequently used as a learning project for understanding sequence modeling, recurrent training dynamics, and the practical details of text generation. -
AI-generated apps that pass security reviewRetool lets you generate dashboards, admin panels, and workflows directly on your data. Type something like “Build me a revenue dashboard on my Stripe data” and get a working app with security, permissions, and compliance built in from day one.

lua-resty-openidc
OpenID Connect Relying Party and OAuth 2.0 Resource Server
lua-resty-openidc is a library for NGINX implementing the OpenID Connect Relying Party (RP) and/or the OAuth 2.0 Resource Server (RS) functionality. When used as an OpenID Connect Relying Party it authenticates users against an OpenID Connect Provider using OpenID Connect Discovery and the Basic Client Profile (i.e. the Authorization Code flow). When used as an OAuth 2.0 Resource Server it can validate OAuth 2.0 Bearer Access Tokens against an Authorization Server or, in case a JSON Web Token is used for an Access Token, verification can happen against a pre-configured secret/key. It maintains sessions for authenticated users by leveraging lua-resty-session thus offering a configurable choice between storing the session state in a client-side browser cookie or use in of the server-side storage mechanisms shared-memory|memcache|redis. -

lxgui
A Lua and XML Graphical User Interface
Note: this project has been migrated to github: https://github.com/cschreib/lxgui lxgui is an open source, portable, and data driven GUI. It is fully extensible, and supports caching through render targets. It is meant to be used by real time applications (such as games). The GUI can be created either by C++ code, or by using the integrated "add-on" system, where the GUI is parsed from XML and Lua files. It relies on keyboard and mouse input (support for other controllers is not planned). Front ends are provided for OpenGL (for graphics), and OIS and SFML (for input). An SFML graphics front end is in project. Documentation : http://lxgui.sourceforge.net/docs -

neuranep
Neural Network Engineering Platform
A parallel-programming framework for concurrently running large numbers of small autonomous jobs, or microthreads, across multiple cores in a CPU or CPUs in a cluster. NeuraNEP emulates a distributed processing environment capable of handling millions of microthreads in parallel, for example running neural networks with millions of spiking cells. Microthreads are general processing elements that can also represent non-neural elements, such as cell populations, extracellular space, emulating sensory activity, etc. NeuraNEP handles microthread scheduling, synchronization, distribution and communication. This project is a fork of SpikeOS (sourceforge.net/projects/spikeos) and represents a major update to that code base, including a scripting interface and low-level rewrite of several components. SpikeOS was oriented towards computational modeling. NeuraNEP is oriented toward neural network research. -

refactoring.nvim
The Refactoring library based off the Refactoring book
refactoring.nvim is a Neovim plugin developed to bring powerful automated code refactoring capabilities to one of the most popular text editors among programmers, giving developers a suite of refactoring operations that streamline repetitive restructuring tasks inside the editor. Built around an intuitive set of commands and a Lua API, the plugin allows users to extract and inline variables or functions, pull blocks of code into new files, and modify code structure without leaving the comfort of Neovim’s modal interface. It integrates with built-in Neovim selection modes and can work with third-party tools like Telescope to present refactoring options quickly, enabling rapid transformation of code patterns. Beyond pure refactor actions, the plugin includes debugging helpers that insert print statements or remove them, aiding developers in tracing program flow and inspecting variable states as part of iterative development. -
