Free TouchDesigner Project: TDNeuron GPU Deep Learning Framework (Darien Brito, Tim Gerritsen)

Overview

Darien Brito and Tim Gerritsen share TDNeuron, a deep learning framework built from scratch in TouchDesigner that runs its layers on GLSL pixel and compute shaders. Models are patched visually in TDNeuron.1.0.5.toe from layers such as linear, activation, convolution, pooling, flatten, loss, softmax and layer normalization, and each node shows real-time information about the data flowing through it.

Example modules cover MNIST, a moons dataset, Kinect and Leap Motion input and toy convolution models, and help chapters include a step-by-step introduction to machine learning built with CHOPs. The framework is Windows only because of the compute shaders, is released under GPLv3 and is a free direct download from GitHub.
