Likely
------
`Likely <http://www.liblikely.org>`_ is an embeddable just-in-time Lisp for
image recognition and heterogenous architectures. Algorithms are just-in-time
compiled using LLVM’s MCJIT infrastructure to execute on single or
multi-threaded CPUs and potentially OpenCL SPIR or CUDA enabled GPUs. Likely
exploits the observation that while image processing and statistical learning
kernels must be written generically to handle any matrix datatype, at runtime
they tend to be executed repeatedly on the same type. Likely also seeks to
explore new optimizations for statistical learning algorithms by moving them
from an offline model generation step to a compile-time simplification of a
function (the learning algorithm) with constant arguments (the training set).
