He mentions that he used sklearn's Neural Network libraries in his blog post, but sklearn doesn't have any aside from RBM.

- strong_ai 11y agoif you want to learn neural nets check out Karpathy's class (cs231n.github.io) and do the assignments. making a github repo and HN post about using neural networks is false self-advertising and illegitimatizes those of us who know what we are talking about.
