Abstract

LightNet is a lightweight, versatile, purely Matlab-based deep learning framework. The idea underlying its design is to provide an easy-to-understand, easy-to-use and efficient computational platform for deep learning research. The implemented framework supports major deep learn-ing architectures such as Multilayer Perceptron Networks (MLP), Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) and Recur-rent Neural Networks (RNN). The framework also supports both CPU and GPU computation, and the switch between them is straightforward. Different applications in computer vision, natural language processing and robotics are demon-strated as experiments. Availability: the source code and data is available at: https://github.com/yechengxi/LightNet.
