00:07 < sumedhghaisas__> zoq: Hey sorry... didn't see you msg.

00:07 < sumedhghaisas__> yeah its harcoded right now. Yes about that abstraction

00:08 < sumedhghaisas__> Should I templatize the NTM class accept the layer type which can be used as controller?

00:09 < sumedhghaisas__> also for that testing memory thing. I changed the implementation so that backward does not require input any more

00:09 < sumedhghaisas__> its not very much of a framework per say... its just that some layers require 'memory' in its forward pass

00:10 < sumedhghaisas__> and also in its backward ... and also returns the error w.r.t. memory

00:10 < sumedhghaisas__> the testing framework is just an extra layer... which is used to wrap these kind of layers for testing

00:10 < sumedhghaisas__> I am just cleaning up the entire NTM code.

00:11 < sumedhghaisas__> I will send the PR as soon as I am done

00:11 < zoq> ahh, okay, I guess I will see it once you open the PR :)

00:11 < zoq> About the controller, I think a template should work, yes.

00:12 < zoq> It's getting late here, about to get some sleep.

00:17 < sumedhghaisas__> Sure. I will try to shift to the template thing today itself. Or else I will do that tomorrow.

03:06 < sumedhghaisas_> zoq: Hey Marcus... I have lot more files to clean and I am getting too sleepy. I will do that tomorrow and send the PR.

04:06 < sumedhghaisas__> rcurtin, zoq: Wooohooo... NTM passes reber grammar tests

06:54 < rcurtin> sumedhghaisas_: great to hear---I am looking forward to playing with NTMs in the future :)

15:47 < ironstark> zoq: Sorry for the late response. Did not see the irc chat. I have read the documentation and am working on the implementations. Regarding the install script. I am able to run everything on my local system but I am getting some errors on slake.

15:48 < ironstark> https://www.irccloud.com/pastebin/7zrZr3lS/

15:49 < ironstark> https://www.irccloud.com/pastebin/wfWbcC35/

15:50 < ironstark> I need to run these commands also.

15:51 < ironstark> https://www.irccloud.com/pastebin/lG7vejSj/

15:51 < ironstark> pkg-config --libs --cflags dlib-1

15:51 < ironstark> these run successfully on my local system but slake shows the errors

15:51 < ironstark> how to rectify it?

15:55 < zoq> ironstark: -- Installing: /usr/local/lib/libdlib.a ... You can't write write to /usr/local/lib without sudo or anything similar. Every benchmark related lib ist stored in ../lib/, so you can use:

15:55 < zoq> cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=../../ .. instead of cmake ..

15:56 < zoq> let me know if that solves the install problem

16:17 < ironstark> zoq: That solved the problem. Build succesfully compiles without error. Thanks a lot for the help

16:20 < zoq> ironstark: Okay, great let's see if the commit test also runs without any errors.

19:18 < ironstark> zoq: rcurtin: To compile the dlibml scripts what are the changes required in the Makefile.

19:19 < ironstark> One that I can see is adding export DLIBML_PATH=methods/dlibml/

19:19 < ironstark> then in the .scripts section

19:21 < ironstark> g++ -O0 -std=c++11 methods/dlibml/src/*.cpp -o methods/dlib/* -I"$(INCLUDEPATH)" -L"$(LIBPATH)" -lmlpack -lboost_program_options -llz4

19:22 < ironstark> Is that correct?

19:59 < zoq> ironstark: g++ doesn't support batch processing, so you can't write: methods/dlibml/src/*.cpp as we did for javac.

19:59 < zoq> I think for now we can just write a single command for each example, later we could write a simple Makefile to build the dlib source files.

19:59 < zoq> The command to build a simple example could look like:

19:59 < zoq> g++ -O0 -std=c++11 methods/dlibml/src/svm.cpp -o methods/dlib/dlib_svm -I"$(INCLUDEPATH)" -L"$(LIBPATH)" -lmlpack -lboost_program_options -ldlib

20:00 < zoq> Just used svm as an example.

20:00 < zoq> Maybe you also have to link against: -lpthread -lX11 as mentioned here: http://dlib.net/compile.html

20:00 < zoq> Also, we just link against mlpack to use the timer and to parse the command line arguments as we did for flann and ann.

20:05 < ironstark> zoq: Thanks for the help. :)

20:08 < zoq> Here to help, if you run into any problems let me know :)
