Facebook open-sources deep-learning modules

Too bad it is Torch. Working in the lua environment is not enjoyable at all. Every error becomes a long procedure of looking deep into the source of the framework since there is no type information or stack traces to go off whatsoever. You are constantly guessing about the shape of the data or what parameters are supposed to look like.

there's clear and well stack-traces at the lua level. there's great debugger (in fblualib, called fb.debugger). there's an inbuilt profiler into LuaJIT. too bad you've had a bad experience.

Thanks I am always willing to give it another shot with more tools.
