Using CNTKs Python Interface for Deep Learning
summary
Hands-on use of Microsoft's Cognitive Toolkit via its Python/Keras interfaces with concrete notebooks: installation steps, Azure NC6 GPU setup (Azure NC6 (K80) ~ $0.90/hr), data pipelines and code for logistic regression, MLPs, CNNs, LSTMs, and word embeddings. Measured outcomes include logistic regression ~92% on MNIST, MLP ~94–95%, CNN ~99% on MNIST, CIFAR‑10 ~75% early, and LSTM IMDB ~88%, showing what was built, what libs were used, and which results actually improve with dropout, RMSprop and pretrained features. CNTK + Keras back-end
