kur

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 hard to do this using barebones backends like TensorFlow/Theano or even the higher abstraction of software like Keras. Kur is not speech specific. It can be used for images (we supply two examples), speech (we supply one example and DG is open sourcing a new audio dataset with it, the DEEPGRAM10), text, etc. There are CNN layers, RNN, dense, dropout, batch norm, etc. to pick and choose from. The best part? Kur does all the plumb
