In my previous article, I mentioned 13 Data Science libraries for Python and I also talked about Theano. But that was a brief introduction, today we will talk more specifically about Theano, its advantages, and features. Then we will see how to use it with some practical examples.
Probably you already heard somewhere about Theano, but what exactly is it?: a programming language? A compiler? A Python library? Well, actually, it is all these things: Theano was developed to compile, implement and evaluate math expressions in a very efficient way. In effect, it allows the developer… Read the full blog for free on Medium.
