About Swift AI

From the project's README at github.com/Swift-AI/Swift-AI. Lightly cleaned for readability; for the full source see the upstream repo.

Swift AI is a high-performance deep learning library written entirely in Swift. We currently offer support for all Apple platforms, with Linux support coming soon. Tools Swift AI includes a collection of common tools used for artificial intelligence and scientific applications: [x] NeuralNet A flexible, fully-connected neural network with support for deep learning Optimized specifically for Apple hardware, using advanced parallel processing techniques [ ] Convolutional Neural Network [ ] Recurrent Neural Network [ ] Genetic Algorithm Library [ ] Fast Linear Algebra Library [ ] Signal Processing Library Example Projects We've created some example projects to demonstrate the usage of Swift AI. Each resides in their own repository and can be built with little or no configuration: NeuralNet-MNIST A NeuralNet training example for the MNIST handwriting database Trains a neural network to recognize handwritten digits Built for macOS NeuralNet-Handwriting-iOS A demo for handwriting recognition using NeuralNet Pre-trained; just download and run Built for iOS U
