AIMET
AIMET is a library that provides advanced quantization and compression
Qualcomm Innovation Center (QuIC) is at the forefront of enabling low-power inference at the edge through its pioneering model-efficiency research. QuIC has a mission to help migrate the ecosystem toward fixed-point inference. With this goal, QuIC presents the AI Model Efficiency Toolkit (AIMET) - a library that provides advanced quantization and compression techniques for trained neural network models. AIMET enables neural networks to run more efficiently on fixed-point AI hardware accelerators. Quantized inference is significantly faster than floating point inference. For example, models that we’ve run on the Qualcomm® Hexagon™ DSP rather than on the Qualcomm® Kryo™ CPU have resulted in a 5x to 15x speedup. Plus, an 8-bit model also has a 4x smaller memory footprint relative to a 32-bit model. However, often when quantizing a machine learning model (e.g., from 32-bit floating point to an 8-bit fixed point value), the model accuracy is sacrificed. -

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. -

DeepDream
This repository contains IPython Notebook with sample code
DeepDream is a small, educational repository that accompanies Google’s original “Inceptionism” blog post by providing a runnable IPython/Jupyter notebook that demonstrates how to “dream” through a convolutional neural network. The notebook shows how to take a trained vision model and iteratively amplify patterns the network detects, producing the hallmark surreal, hallucinatory visuals. It walks through loading a pretrained network, selecting layers and channels to maximize, computing gradients with respect to the input image, and applying multi-scale “octave” processing to reveal fine and coarse patterns. The code is intentionally compact and exploratory, encouraging users to tweak layers, step sizes, and scales to influence the aesthetic.

This allows the model to learn how to store and retrieve information across long time horizons, much like a traditional computer. The architecture consists of modular components including an access module for managing memory operations, a controller (often an LSTM or feedforward network) for issuing read/write commands, and submodules for temporal linkage and memory allocation tracking. -

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.
