Qualia is a deep learning framework deeply integrated with automatic differentiation and dynamic graphing with CUDA acceleration. Thanks to the define-by-run API, the code written with Qualia enjoys high modularity.

Introduction

David J. Chalmers, an Australian philosopher and cognitive scientist, once argued that if a system reproduces the functional organization of the brain, it will also reproduce the qualia associated with the brain in the paper "Absent Qualia, Fading Qualia, Dancing Qualia." This library "Qualia" named after the series of arguments in philosophy of mind associated with the qualia, hoping for the creation of a system with subjective consciousness.

Overview

The main components of Qualia is listed below:

Component	Description
qualia2.autograd	provides a Tensor object for a dynamic automatic differentiation
qualia2.functions	pre-defined functions capable of automatic differentiation
qualia2.nn	a neural networks library deeply integrated with autograd with CUDA acceleration
qualia2.data	datasets for handy testing
qualia2.rl	reinforcement learning models and utilities
qualia2.util	utility functions for convenience
qualia2.vision	pretrained model architectures for computer vision

Requirements

• NVIDIA CUDA GPU: Compute Capability of the GPU must be at least 3.0.
• CUDA Toolkit: Supported Versions: 8.0, 9.0, 9.1, 9.2, 10.0, and 10.1.
• Python 3.6 +

Note: Qualia is also available for CPU use

Installation

For detailed instructions on installing Qualia, see the installation guide.

Depending on the CUDA version you have installed on your host, choose the best option from following.

(For CUDA 8.0)
$ python setup.py install --cuda 80
