  Description     : deep learning framework build on the top of Theano

Another deep learning framework build in the top of Theano [1], coming from
the same people. It features a domain specific language to describe deep
network features like initializaton of the weights, sigmoid functions, gradient
descent, cost functions to use etc.

Best,
DS

"blocks" as well, conversion tools for block devices[1], I might file
an ITP for this. So I'm asking you to consider a different and more
distinctive name, perhaps "theano-blocks". I would choose something
like blocks-conversion or blocks-tools then.

Cheers,

Control: retitle -1 ITP: theano-blocks -- deep learning framework built on top of Theano

Hi Christoph,

I haven't discussed this yet with the ITP holder (busy), but as foreseeable sponsor and
reporter of this bug I say that's all right. We could name the source package that way,
no problem.

Cheers,

Sorry for the delay. Yes, of course I will change the name of the
package if there is a conflict with the name of another project.
Thanks for pointing this out to me.

Kind regards,
Fabian
