Blocks and Fuel: Frameworks for deep learning

Abstract: We introduce two Python frameworks to train neural networks on large datasets: Blocks and Fuel. Blocks is based on Theano, a linear algebra compiler with CUDA-support (Bastien et al., 2012;Bergstra et al., 2010). It facilitates the training of complex neural network models by providing parametrized Theano operations, attaching metadata to Theano's symbolic computational graph, and providing an extensive set of utilities to assist training the networks, e.g. training algorithms, logging, monitoring, visualizati… Show more

“…The BASIC NMT system is built using the Blocks framework (van Merriënboer et al, 2015) based on the Theano library (Bastien et al, 2012) with standard hyper-parameters : the encoder and decoder networks consist of 1000 gated recurrent units (Cho et al, 2014). The decoder uses a single maxout (Goodfellow et al, 2013) output layer with the feed-forward attention model .…”

“…It is free, supported by many commercial and non-commercial software platforms and programming languages (MATLAB, C, C++, Fortran, Java), and has efficient partial I/O access to data on disk. Not surprisingly, it has become of wide use in public benchmark data sets and frameworks in fields like deep learning [10].…”
