  Description     : Lightweight library to build and train neural networks in Theano

Lasagne is a lightweight library to build and train neural networks in Theano. Its main features are:

- Supports feed-forward networks such as Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), recurrent networks including Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM), and any combination thereof
- Allows architectures of multiple inputs and multiple outputs, including auxiliary classifiers
- Many optimization methods including Nesterov momentum, RMSprop and ADAM
- Freely definable cost function and no need to derive gradients due to Theano's symbolic differentiation
- Transparent support of CPUs and GPUs due to Theano's expression compiler
