Bug#1027941: O: keras-preprocessing -- data preprocessing module for the Keras deep learning framework

[Stephen Sinclair]

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

I intend to orphan the keras-preprocessing package, as it is no longer maintained upstream
as an independent software from tensorflow, and the base package keras is now giving
errors with the latest version of numpy that I cannot resolve.

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).
 .
 Keras Preprocessing is the data preprocessing and data augmentation
 module of the Keras deep learning library. It provides utilities for
 working with image data, text data, and sequence data.
