AlphaZero.jl
A generic, simple and fast implementation of Deepmind's AlphaZero
Beyond its much publicized success in attaining superhuman level at games such as Chess and Go, DeepMind's AlphaZero algorithm illustrates a more general methodology of combining learning and search to explore large combinatorial spaces effectively. We believe that this methodology can have exciting applications in many different research areas. Because AlphaZero is resource-hungry, successful open-source implementations (such as Leela Zero) are written in low-level languages (such as C++) and optimized for highly distributed computing environments. This makes them hardly accessible for students, researchers and hackers. Many simple Python implementations can be found on Github, but none of them is able to beat a reasonable baseline on games such as Othello or Connect Four. As an illustration, the benchmark in the README of the most popular of them only features a random baseline, along with a greedy baseline that does not appear to be significantly stronger. -

Tiny CUDA Neural Networks
Lightning fast C++/CUDA neural network framework
This is a small, self-contained framework for training and querying neural networks. Most notably, it contains a lightning-fast "fully fused" multi-layer perceptron (technical paper), a versatile multiresolution hash encoding (technical paper), as well as support for various other input encodings, losses, and optimizers. We provide a sample application where an image function (x,y) -> (R,G,B) is learned. The fully fused MLP component of this framework requires a very large amount of shared memory in its default configuration. It will likely only work on an RTX 3090, an RTX 2080 Ti, or high-end enterprise GPUs. Lower-end cards must reduce the n_neurons parameter or use the CutlassMLP (better compatibility but slower) instead. tiny-cuda-nn comes with a PyTorch extension that allows using the fast MLPs and input encodings from within a Python context. These bindings can be significantly faster than full Python implementations; in particular for the multiresolution hash encoding. -

Fairseq
Facebook AI Research Sequence-to-Sequence Toolkit written in Python
Fairseq(-py) is a sequence modeling toolkit that allows researchers and developers to train custom models for translation, summarization, language modeling and other text generation tasks. We provide reference implementations of various sequence modeling papers. Recent work by Microsoft and Google has shown that data parallel training can be made significantly more efficient by sharding the model parameters and optimizer state across data parallel workers. These ideas are encapsulated in the new FullyShardedDataParallel (FSDP) wrapper provided by fairscale. Fairseq can be extended through user-supplied plug-ins. Models define the neural network architecture and encapsulate all of the learnable parameters. Criterions compute the loss function given the model outputs and targets. Tasks store dictionaries and provide helpers for loading/iterating over Datasets, initializing the Model/Criterion and calculating the loss. -

PyTorch Book
PyTorch tutorials and fun projects including neural talk
This is the corresponding code for the book "The Deep Learning Framework PyTorch: Getting Started and Practical", but it can also be used as a standalone PyTorch Getting Started Guide and Tutorial. The current version of the code is based on pytorch 1.0.1, if you want to use an older version please git checkout v0.4or git checkout v0.3. Legacy code has better python2/python3 compatibility, CPU/GPU compatibility test. The new version of the code has not been fully tested, it has been tested under GPU and python3. But in theory there shouldn't be too many problems on python2 and CPU. The basic part (the first five chapters) explains the content of PyTorch. This part introduces the main modules in PyTorch and some tools commonly used in deep learning. For this part of the content, Jupyter Notebook is used as a teaching tool here, and readers can modify and run with notebooks and repeat experiments.
