[Scikit-learn-general] deep belief network contribution to scikit-learn

[Andy]

Hi Albert.
This is best discussed on the mailing list (cc).
I'm not sure adding deep belief networks is currently within the scope
of the project.
I haven't heard of real-world applications in a while, and we generally
want to keep the deep learning small, as we have no GPU support
and there are other libraries out there. Also see
http://scikit-learn.org/dev/faq.html#why-is-there-no-support-for-deep-learning-will-there-be-support-for-deep-learning-in-scikit-learn

You are welcome to create a "contributed package" by contributing to the
new organization here:
https://github.com/scikit-learn-contrib/scikit-learn-contrib

that will probably give your code some visibility and will provide you
with some feedback.

Cheers,
Andy

Hi Andreas,
My name is Albert and I'd like to contribute to scikit-learn project.
I coded some time ago a Deep Belief Network algorithm in python. This
implementation was designed to be compatible with scikit-learn (check
the project out here
<https://github.com/albertbup/deep-belief-network>) as it was thought
to be a possible contribution to the project.
I really don't know who's in charge of this kind of things so the
reason why I've got in touch with you is basically because I had seen
you contributing in neural networks part so I thought you'll be more
or less the right guy to ask.
Please, let me know if there is anybody in charge of managing the
contributions.
Thanks for your time,
Albert.
