Yes, as theano needs a compiler (gcc or nvcc if you want to use cuda) available at run time, but even still it's faster even than most hand-coded implementations of neural networks. James Bergstra reads this list occasionally, and he's one of the main people behind theano, so he can give more info here. -- - Alexandre ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ RSA(R) Conference 2012 Save $700 by Nov 18 Register now http://p.sf.net/sfu/rsa-sfdev2dev1 _______________________________________________ Scikit-learn-general mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/scikit-learn-general
