Hello,

Are there any good ML libraries for D? In particular, looking for 
a neural network library currently. Any leads would be 
appreciated.

Thanks,

There is mir https://github.com/libmir/mir which is geared towards machine
learning, I don't know if it has anything about neural networks, I've yet
to use it. If you're only interested in neural networks, I've used FANN (a
C library) together with D and it worked very well.

I saw mir but it didn't seem to have anything for NNs. I'll give 
FANN a try.

I used FANN with D too. And it's quite easy to use.

I have written a project to embed R inside D and vice versa for 
my research (currently Linux only). Any neural network library 
for R is trivially available inside D. Ideally these libraries 
would be written in D but I'm a strong believer in reusing 
working code. If this is something that is of interest, let me 
know.

Oh that sounds pretty cool.

While I probably won't use it right now, embedding R inside D 
would be a good learning opportunity. Is it available on 
code.dlang.org or on GitHub?

Thanks

Installation amounts to installing a couple of R packages that I 
have on Bitbucket, as described on the project page. I have basic 
usage examples there as well. You can find the project here:
https://bitbucket.org/bachmeil/embedr

This is barebones, designed only to allow passing of data (via 
pointers) between the two languages and to execute R code from a 
D program. I have other libraries that do various things (call D 
functions from R, optimization, quadratic programming, ARMA 
estimation, etc.) but haven't yet had time to write examples or 
documentation. If you would like to see any of that or have 
questions about the embedr library, you can email me at the 
address given on this page:

This is excellent. I will try it out :) Thanks so much.

There is also Henry Gouk's dnnet library[1]. I'm not sure how far 
is it in development, since there's no dub project registered at 
code.dlang.org, but you could give it a spin. AFAIK it relies 
another package of his, dopt[2][3], which depends on CUDA (cuBLAS 
and cuDNN).
