Microsoft’s neural network solution "CNTK" is now available as open source

Microsoft has made available a new toolkit for "deep learning" called CNTK. It's an open-source tool that Microsoft's "...own researchers use to speed up advances in artificial intelligence", and this is now made "...available to a broader group of developers by releasing its Computational Network Toolkit on GitHub."

This is one good example of what Microsoft is doing in the field of speech recognition, robotics and language processing. Someday I hope to see these advancements available in .NET classes or the Windows operating system.
