php-tensorflow

PHP has decent FFI, nothing is stopping you from using the same libraries as you would with Python. Here's someone's quick hack as an example: https://github.com/dstogov/php-tensorflow For an interpreted language PHP itself is ridiculously fast and the VM is rather small so you can use something else coughElixircough for parallellisation. I use it all the time for data wrangling stuff and database imports because it's robust, fast and PsySh is a pretty neat environment. The array data structure is quite nice too. It's built on simple parts that are foundational to the VM itself, and very flexible, similar to lists in Lisp-like languages but without the seek lag when data grows due to the indexing.

This is a good convo to have Two things you mentioned that are incorrect though The first is the presumption that you need a GPU to do machine learning - the reality is that the average business doesn't need nor has the data to benefit from such large models The second is that PHP is slow - but when you do comparisons with Python, PHP is actually faster https://benchmarksgame-team.pages.debian.net/benchmarksgame/... The reason why Python, for example, is faster in some machine learning applications is because it's probably getting help from a library such as numPY or Tensorflow Although these tools are missing currently in the PHP ecosystem, I'm confident that we'll have them eventually For example, here is an attempt to bring numPY-like functionality as a PHP extension https://github.com/phpsci/phpsci-ext/tree/1.0-dev We've also had som
