Chapter 11 – Classifying Objects in Images Using Deep Learning

Keras and Pylearn2

Other deep learning libraries that are worth looking at, if you are going further with deep learning in Python, are Keras and Pylearn2. They are both based on Theano and have different usages and features.

Keras can be found here: https://github.com/fchollet/keras/.

Pylearn2 can be found here: http://deeplearning.net/software/pylearn2/.

Both are not stable platforms at the time of writing, although Pylearn2 is the more stable of the two. That said, they both do what they do very well and are worth investigating for future projects.

Another library called Torch is very popular but, at the time of writing, it doesn't have python bindings (see http://torch.ch/).
