  Description     : Torch3: machine learning library version 3

 This package is the Torch runtime library.
 .
 Torch is a machine-learning library, written in C++.  Its aim is to
 provide the state-of-the-art of the best algorithms.  It is, and it
 will be, in development forever.
 .
 Main features:
 .
 * Many gradient-based methods, including multi-layered perceptrons,
 radial basis functions, and mixtures of experts.  Many small "modules"
 (Linear module, Tanh module, SoftMax module, ...) can be plugged
 together.
 .
 * Support Vector Machine, for classification and regression.
 .
 * Distribution package, includes Kmeans, Gaussian Mixture Models,
 Hidden Markov Models, and Bayes Classifier, and classes for speech
 recognition with embedded training.
 .
 * Ensemble models such as Bagging and Adaboost.
 .
 * Non-parametric models such as K-nearest-neighbors, Parzen Regression
 and Parzen Density Estimator.
 .
 Torch is an open library whose authors encourage everybody to develop
 new packages to be included in future versions on the official website.


According to current debian maintainer of version 2 and Francesco (both in CC),
I'm taking Torch 3 library.

cheers,
	cosimo.
