What changed
Provided a computational-network abstraction and CPU/GPU toolkit for expressing neural model graphs, with forward/gradient computation and reusable model/network descriptions.
Scientific scope
Provided a computational-network abstraction and CPU/GPU toolkit for expressing neural model graphs, with forward/gradient computation and reusable model/network descriptions. The family combines the 2014 computational-network introduction with a separately authored 2016 toolkit account. Later details are not backdated. Computational graphs, automatic differentiation and existing model types are inherited; arbitrary-topology descriptions do not guarantee that cyclic programs converge or execute unchanged.
Evidence
The linked original sources describe the stated contribution and its evidence limits. WRS has not independently rerun the experiments or certified a proof.
