Microsoft Cognitive Toolkit

Microsoft Cognitive Toolkit is also known as CNTK; it is the latest entry to the increasing set of deep learning frameworks. CNTK has two  major functionalities that it supports:

• Support for multiple features such as:
  • CPU/GPU for training and prediction
  • Both Windows and Linux operating systems
  • Efficient recurrent network training through batching techniques
  • Data parallelization using one-bit quantized singular value decomposition (SVD)
• Efficient modularization that separates:
  • Compute network
  • Execution engine
  • Learning algorithms
  • Model configuration
