China's leading internet search company, Baidu, has released some of its key code. Used recently to build its impressive speech-recognition system called Deep Speech 2, which users prefer to use for sending short messages or to perform internet searches, the code, called Warp-CTC, is a deep-learning algorithm. The code was published on GitHub, and it includes an example that shows how DeepMind can train deep neural networks with just one image.
