Bug#1027938: O: keras -- deep learning framework running on Theano or TensorFlow

[Stephen Sinclair]

Package: wnpp
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: keras at packages.debian.org
Control: affects -1 + src:keras

I intend to orphan the keras package, as it is no longer updated as an independent package
outside of tensorflow, and the last independent problem now has difficult to resolve
errors with the latest version of numpy.

The package description is:
 Keras is a Python library for machine learning based on deep (multi-
 layered) artificial neural networks (DNN), which follows a minimalistic
 and modular design with a focus on fast experimentation.
 .
 Features of DNNs like neural layers, cost functions, optimizers,
 initialization schemes, activation functions and regularization schemes
 are available in Keras a standalone modules which can be plugged together
 as wanted to create sequence models or more complex architectures.
 Keras supports convolutions neural networks (CNN, used for image
 recognition resp. classification) and recurrent neural networks (RNN,
 suitable for sequence analysis like in natural language processing).
 .
 It runs as an abstraction layer on the top of Theano (math expression
 compiler) by default, which makes it possible to accelerate the computations
 by using (GP)GPU devices. Alternatively, Keras could run on Google's
 TensorFlow (not yet available in Debian).
