PaddlePaddle is a deep learning framework originally developed in Baidu four years ago. Experienced Baidu researchers and engineers have successfully applied it in 80% of Baidu products. When we open sourced PaddlePaddle in September 2016, we know it is time to make it easy-to-use by everyone who is interested in deep learning.
Today we are happy to announce the alpha release of our new API. And we updated example programs in our open source book Deep Learning with PaddlePaddle accordingly.
The following screenshot shows that a PaddlePaddle program using the new API could be much shorter than its old counterpart.
