This repository aims at providing a high performing and flexible deep learning platform, by prototyping a pure NumPy interface above MXNet backend. Why obsessed with NumPy interface? First of all, NumPy is an extension to the Python programming language, with support for large, multi-dimensional arrays, matrices, and a large library of high-level mathematical functions to operate on these abstractions. If you just begin to learn deep learning, you should absolutely start from NumPy to gain a firm grasp of its concepts (see, for example, the Stanford's CS231n course). For quick prototyping of advanced deep learning algorithms, you may often start composing with NumPy as well.
