AlphaZero.jl
A generic, simple and fast implementation of Deepmind's AlphaZero
Beyond its much publicized success in attaining superhuman level at games such as Chess and Go, DeepMind's AlphaZero algorithm illustrates a more general methodology of combining learning and search to explore large combinatorial spaces effectively. We believe that this methodology can have exciting applications in many different research areas. Because AlphaZero is resource-hungry, successful open-source implementations (such as Leela Zero) are written in low-level languages (such as C++) and optimized for highly distributed computing environments. This makes them hardly accessible for students, researchers and hackers. Many simple Python implementations can be found on Github, but none of them is able to beat a reasonable baseline on games such as Othello or Connect Four. As an illustration, the benchmark in the README of the most popular of them only features a random baseline, along with a greedy baseline that does not appear to be significantly stronger. -

Flax
Flax is a neural network library for JAX
Flax is a flexible neural-network library for JAX that embraces functional programming while offering ergonomic module abstractions. Its design separates pure computation from state by threading parameter collections and RNGs explicitly, enabling reproducibility, transformation, and easy experimentation with JAX transforms like jit, pmap, and vmap. Modules define parameterized computations, but initialization and application remain side-effect free, which pairs naturally with JAX’s staging and compilation model. Flax emphasizes composability: optimizers, training loops, and checkpointing are provided as examples or utilities rather than monolithic frameworks, encouraging research-friendly customization. The library is widely used in vision, language, and reinforcement learning, often serving as a thin layer atop NumPy-like JAX primitives. Tutorials and examples show patterns for multi-host training, mixed precision, and advanced input pipelines that scale from laptops to TPUs. -

FairChem
FAIR Chemistry's library of machine learning methods for chemistry
FAIRChem is a unified library for machine learning in chemistry and materials, consolidating data, pretrained models, demos, and application code into a single, versioned toolkit. Version 2 modernizes the stack with a cleaner core package and breaking changes relative to V1, focusing on simpler installs and a stable API surface for production and research. The centerpiece models (e.g., UMA variants) plug directly into the ASE ecosystem via a FAIRChem calculator, so users can run relaxations, molecular dynamics, spin-state energetics, and surface catalysis workflows with the same pretrained network by switching a task flag. Tasks span heterogeneous domains—catalysis (OC20-style), inorganic materials (OMat), molecules (OMol), MOFs (ODAC), and molecular crystals (OMC)—allowing one model family to serve many simulations. The README provides quick paths for pulling models (e.g., via Hugging Face access), then running energy/force predictions on GPU or CPU. -

Imagen - Pytorch
Implementation of Imagen, Google's Text-to-Image Neural Network
Implementation of Imagen, Google's Text-to-Image Neural Network that beats DALL-E2, in Pytorch. It is the new SOTA for text-to-image synthesis. Architecturally, it is actually much simpler than DALL-E2. It consists of a cascading DDPM conditioned on text embeddings from a large pre-trained T5 model (attention network). It also contains dynamic clipping for improved classifier-free guidance, noise level conditioning, and a memory-efficient unit design. It appears neither CLIP nor prior network is needed after all. And so research continues. For simpler training, you can directly supply text strings instead of precomputing text encodings. (Although for scaling purposes, you will definitely want to precompute the textual embeddings + mask) -

SVoice (Speech Voice Separation)
We provide a PyTorch implementation of the paper Voice Separation
SVoice is a PyTorch-based implementation of Facebook Research’s study on speaker voice separation as described in the paper “Voice Separation with an Unknown Number of Multiple Speakers.” This project presents a deep learning framework capable of separating mixed audio sequences where several people speak simultaneously, without prior knowledge of how many speakers are present. The model employs gated neural networks with recurrent processing blocks that disentangle voices over multiple computational steps, while maintaining speaker consistency across output channels. Separate models are trained for different speaker counts, and the largest-capacity model dynamically determines the actual number of speakers in a mixture. The repository includes all necessary scripts for training, dataset preparation, distributed training, evaluation, and audio separation. -

Stock prediction deep neural learning
Predicting stock prices using a TensorFlow LSTM
Predicting stock prices can be a challenging task as it often does not follow any specific pattern. However, deep neural learning can be used to identify patterns through machine learning. One of the most effective techniques for series forecasting is using LSTM (long short-term memory) networks, which are a type of recurrent neural network (RNN) capable of remembering information over a long period of time. This makes them extremely useful for predicting stock prices. Predicting stock prices is a complex task, as it is influenced by various factors such as market trends, political events, and economic indicators. The fluctuations in stock prices are driven by the forces of supply and demand, which can be unpredictable at times. To identify patterns and trends in stock prices, deep learning techniques can be used for machine learning. Long short-term memory (LSTM) is a type of recurrent neural network (RNN) that is specifically designed for sequence modeling and prediction. -

AIMET
AIMET is a library that provides advanced quantization and compression
Qualcomm Innovation Center (QuIC) is at the forefront of enabling low-power inference at the edge through its pioneering model-efficiency research. QuIC has a mission to help migrate the ecosystem toward fixed-point inference. With this goal, QuIC presents the AI Model Efficiency Toolkit (AIMET) - a library that provides advanced quantization and compression techniques for trained neural network models. AIMET enables neural networks to run more efficiently on fixed-point AI hardware accelerators. Quantized inference is significantly faster than floating point inference. For example, models that we’ve run on the Qualcomm® Hexagon™ DSP rather than on the Qualcomm® Kryo™ CPU have resulted in a 5x to 15x speedup. Plus, an 8-bit model also has a 4x smaller memory footprint relative to a 32-bit model. However, often when quantizing a machine learning model (e.g., from 32-bit floating point to an 8-bit fixed point value), the model accuracy is sacrificed. -
