The technology giant Baidu, through its division Silicon Valley AI Lab (SVAIL) has released its source code artificial intelligence software Warp-CTC to the machine learning community, available via the platform GitHub under the Apache license.
According to the publication Baidu Research, Warp-CTC is an open source implementation of CTC CPU’sy algorithm for GPUs from Nvidia, which can be used in solving problems that map supervised an input stream to an output stream, as would be the voice recognition.
The reason for this release is due to the intention of making the deep end to learning easier for the researchers to progress more quickly end.
Recognize there is already deep learning software under open source but in turn claim that the existing code for the formation of networks end-to-end sequences, like his deep voice engine has been too slow, therefore, want to contribute the machine learning community through the code has made available.
In this sense, they have launched Warp code-CTC as a C library with the integration of Torch, a framework of computer scientific.
Baidu is not the only technology company that released the code of your AI software, because other companies, like Google, Facebook or Microsoft, among others, also have artificial intelligence software under open source.
With this release, Baidu makes an important segment in the AI contribution, which could lead to advances that benefit all players in this segment.
