The Nala markup, to turn a "Natural Language" sentence into a code-like statement. Nala 标注，将自然语言变为编程语言。

BlinkDL

A minimalist deep learning library in Javascript using WebGL + asm.js. Runs in your browser.

Currently it is a proof-of-concept (inference only). Note: Convolution is buggy when memories overlap.

The WebGL backend is powered by weblas: https://github.com/waylonflinn/weblas.

Example

https://withablink.coding.me/goPolicyNet/ : a weiqi (baduk, go) policy network in AlphaGo style:

const N = 19;
const NN = N * N;
const nFeaturePlane = 8;
const nFilter = 128;

const x = new BlinkArray();
x.Init('weblas');
x.nChannel = nFeaturePlane;
x.data = new Float32Array(nFeaturePlane * NN);
for (var i = 0; i < NN; i++)
    x.data[5 * NN + i] = 1; // set feature plane for empty board

// pre-act residual network with 6 residual blocks
const bak = new Float32Array(nFilter * NN);
x.Convolution(nFilter, 3);
x.CopyTo(bak);
x.BatchNorm().ReLU().Convolution(nFilter, 3);
x.BatchNorm().ReLU().Convolution(nFilter, 3);
x.Add(bak).CopyTo(bak);
x.BatchNorm().ReLU().Convolution(nFilter, 3);
x.BatchNorm().ReLU().Convolution(nFilter, 3);
x.Add(bak).CopyTo(bak);
x.BatchNorm().ReLU().Convolution(nFilter, 3);
x.BatchNorm().ReLU().Convolution(nFilter, 3);
x.Add(bak).CopyTo(bak);
x.BatchNorm().ReLU().Convolution(nFilter, 3);
x.BatchNorm().ReLU().Convolution(nFilter, 3);
x.Add(bak).CopyTo(bak);
x.BatchNorm().ReLU().Convolution(nFilter, 3);
x.BatchNorm().ReLU().Convolution(nFilter, 3);
x.Add(bak).CopyTo(bak);
x.BatchNorm().ReLU().Convolution(nFilter, 3);
x.BatchNorm().ReLU().Convolution(nFilter, 3);
x.Add(bak);
x.BatchNorm().ReLU().Convolution(1, 1).Softmax();
