Very excited for this - I've used GraphLab Create a few times for building recommender systems - drop-dead simple API, supports explicit & implicit data (1-5 stars of purchased/didn't purchase), and can leverage content features (product category/department, color, size, manufacturer) to help with sparse data and cold starts.

#12Are there any other similar projects that are similarly easy to use?
I've used Keras to mostly automate ANNs and then drop the trained models into TensorFlow Android. I wouldnt classify it as easy. However, it used to take months to do this, nowadays it takes days to do it. Still incredibly painful and mostly an undocumented black-art.

#13I am gonna have an aneurysm. It relies on CUDA, yet you can't get a recent Apple machine with a proper desktop Nvidia GPU. No, I don't want an external GPU box. What the heck are they running this on internally? Actually, don't tell me. Just sell me one.
The pain is real.

I feel your pain. AMD-only GPU config finally got me to ditch the MBP for work. I tried to use my 2014 model as long as I could.

#15I guess this was Ruslan Salakhutdinov's talk at NIPS earlier today?

It works without CUDA, but it will be slow. That being said, many workloads wouldn't run on a normal desktop machine anyway and will need to be run on a cluster somewhere.

I'm mostly looking for something like "excel for ANN"

If one wants to start from zero experience of Neural Networks, but expertise in application development process, what resources would you recommend to start learning?

I you're looking to learn about the maths behind neural nets and really understand how they work I'd recommend Andrew Ng's deeplearning.ai course. Starts from scratch and will give you a deep understanding when you're done.

based on the documentation, most definitely running it using WSL on Windows 10.
