Microsoft认知工具包(CNTK)-简介 (Microsoft Cognitive Toolkit (CNTK) - Introduction)

什么是Microsoft认知工具包(CNTK)？ (What is Microsoft Cognitive Toolkit (CNTK)?)

Microsoft Cognitive Toolkit (CNTK), formerly known as Computational Network Toolkit, is a free, easy-to-use, open-source, commercial-grade toolkit that enables us to train deep learning algorithms to learn like the human brain. It enables us to create some popular deep learning systems like feed-forward neural network time series prediction systems and Convolutional neural network (CNN) image classifiers.

Microsoft Cognitive Toolkit(CNTK)，以前称为Computational Network Toolkit，是一种免费，易于使用的开源商业级工具包，使我们能够训练深度学习算法来像人脑一样学习。它使我们能够创建一些流行的深度学习系统，例如前馈神经网络时间序列预测系统和卷积神经网络(CNN)图像分类器 。

For optimal performance, its framework functions are written in C++. Although we can call its function using C++, but the most commonly used approach for the same is to use a Python program.

为了获得最佳性能，其框架功能使用C ++编写。尽管我们可以使用C ++调用其函数，但是最常用的方法是使用Python程序。

1.0版与2.0版 (Version 1.0 vs Version 2.0)

Following table compares CNTK Version 1.0 and 2.0:

下表比较了CNTK版本1.0和2.0：

Version 1.0	Version 2.0
It was released in 2016.	It is a significant rewrite of the 1.0 Version and was released in June 2017.
It used a proprietary scripting language called BrainScript.	Its framework functions can be called using C++, Python. We can easily load our modules in C# or Java. BrainScript is also supported by Version 2.0.
It runs on both Windows and Linux systems but not directly on Mac OS.	It also runs on both Windows (Win 8.1, Win 10, Server 2012 R2 and later) and Linux systems but not directly on Mac OS.

版本1.0	版本2.0
它于2016年发布。	它是对1.0版的重大重写，于2017年6月发布。
它使用了称为BrainScript的专有脚本语言。	可以使用C ++，Python调用其框架函数。我们可以轻松地用C＃或Java加载模块。 2.0版还支持BrainScript。
它可以在Windows和Linux系统上运行，但不能直接在Mac OS上运行。	它还可以在Windows(Win 8.1，Win 10，Server 2012 R2和更高版本)和Linux系统上运行，但不能直接在Mac OS上运行。
