The Nengo DL team is excited to announce the release of Nengo DL 0.2.
What is Nengo DL?
Nengo DL is a backend for Nengo that integrates deep learning methods (supported by the TensorFlow framework) with other Nengo modelling tools. This allows users to optimize their models using deep learning training methods, improves simulation speed (on CPU or GPU), and makes it easy to insert TensorFlow models (such as a convolutional neural network) into Nengo networks.
How do I use it?
To use Nengo DL, replace instances of nengo.Simulator with nengo_dl.Simulator.
For example, if you have a network called model and you run it with
with nengo.Simulator(model) as sim:
sim.run(10)
you would change that to
with nengo_dl.Simulator(model) as sim:
sim.run(10)
and that’s it!
Information on accessing the more advanced features of Nengo DL
can be found in the documentation.
What’s new?
This is the first official release of Nengo DL!
How do I get it?
To install Nengo DL, we recommend using pip:
pip install nengo_dl
