Deepgram is open sourcing Kur ( http://kur.deepgram.com )! Kur is the worlds first descriptive Deep Learning software. Think of a model, describe it in a simple YAML or JSON file, and train to get state-of-the-art results. There's no need to code. Why we built Kur: Prototyping DNNs is a slow process. Most people doing deep learning want to iterate and try out different model architectures and learn from others. It's…

Thanks for releasing this for us, Scott! It will definitely help me test different models for my ethereum auto trading bot!

Do these type of systems work?

Great idea! However installation instructions are a little misleading. It says I only need Python 3, while in reality I need a whole bunch of things to be installed already. Is there a list of all requirements? Also, does it work on Windows? "DL for dummies" code should run on Windows :)

The "whole bunch of things" is just the standard system-wide install for working with any Python package: python, pip (which comes with python), and virtualenv. Though I also recommend virtualenvwrapper for setup simplicity.

Great point about virtualenvwrapper. We've included that too in the installation instruction.

The install instructions are pretty much structured as: quick,

  pip install kur
cleaner and quick,

  install with vituralenv in a quick script
best practice but more setup,

  install a whole environment and include virtualenvwrapper

For sure. Install Kur and follow the examples. There's no voodoo, just pure clean DL fun.

I wasn't talking necessarily about Kur, but altcoin trading neural nets. Something I'll have to look into, I guess.

Hi! I'm the core maintainer of Kur. I've also been intersted in altcoin trading, and I agree that Kur will be a great place to start. Let me know what progress you make (on Gitter)! Excited to here!
