hi frederic,
thanks, actually im trying to implement a 3d-convolutional neural network as you can see in the snippet.. so you mean to say
1)instead of using scipy.signal.convolve i should import theano and use signal.conv2d <http://deeplearning.net/software/theano/library/tensor/signal/conv.html#theano.tensor.signal.conv.conv2d> , if so signal.conv2d is right or any other function according to my need..
We have some special conv3d for neural network: http://deeplearning.net/software/theano/library/tensor/nnet/conv.html. Maybe the suite better what you want. But to be useful, you will need medium/big convolution, not tini video.
2)also any hints on speeding up numpy.sum in
pooled[0][i][j][k][l]=math.
tanh((numpy.sum(conv_out[0][i][j][k*3][l*3:(l+1)*3])+numpy.sum(conv_out[0][i][j][k*3+1][l*3:(l+1)*3])+numpy.sum(conv_out[0][i][j][k*3+2][l*3:(l+1)*3]))/9.0+b[i][j])
Someone else reply with some information to do less indexing and do the sum on bigger chunk of data each time. This could speed up your stuff.
thanks a lot.. also i have seen your name some where in pylearn2.. are ua pylearn developer too.
Yes and no. I'm in the same lab as the main Pylearn2 dev and I do some small contribution from time to time(stuff mostly related to optimizaiton or Theano). But I wouldn't call me a pylearn2 core dev. Fred
