Hello,
Just wondering if Quantopian is planning on incorporating the tensorflow package anytime soon?
I think this inclusion will greatly accelerate the machine learning/deep learning applications and attempts on Quantopian, especially now with minute-level data.
I would ask for Theano, but probably Google backed Tensorflow is more "legitimate" and "safer".
A better package will be keras, which supports both Tensorflow or Theano backend. Please add support to keras.
+1 for keras, in the short term if not training, atleastallow the package so we are able to load pre-trained models and use that to predict and run back tests or trade live.
+1 tensorflow, theano, keras, hyperopt (https://github.com/hyperopt/hyperopt, for Bayesian parameter search )
+1 for hyperopt too
Speaking about parameter optimisation, TPOT seems to be an excellent tool as well - IDK how it compares with auto-sklearn (no benchmarks have been made yet), nevertheless, it is definitely a great alternative, not to mention that we can experiment with both and see which one is better. ;-)
Unfortunately, it seems to me that Q's sysadmins do not give a f♂ck about our wishes→ we have been requesting some of these libraries since 2015, yet no progress has apparently been made (if it was, why would they not have told us?) !
Given the fact that we have to wait months even to a simple charting/data delivery bugfix (whenever you open the live trading dashboard while market is closed, the platform does not load last day data in charts, x.1% in the Live trading equity chart always 'untruncates' to x.09%, etc...), I am afraid that I won't see these libraries working before becoming elderly, despite being 21 yo
Tensorflow is probably not cost efficient for Q, but maybe a +1 for xgboost...on the contrary, maybe allowing fetcher in the contest would be best. Anything that allows signals from more computationally intensive algorithms would bring forth deep learning into the competition.
Quantopian should work with https://www.floydhub.com/ I have used them when i did the Udacity Deep Leanring cource and having Floydhub integrated in a smart way with Quantopian would be super nice!
