Dynamic Linear Flow
A family of invertible transformations with a partially autoregressive structure — state-of-the-art among flow-based models on ImageNet 32×32 and 64×64, converging roughly ten times faster than Glow, with the code released. Research by Huandong Liao at the lab.

OPEN SOURCE — THE 2017 LEGEND
Days after the paper, the world ran capsules on our code.
The first viral TensorFlow implementation of Hinton's capsule networks put a two-person Dutch lab on the research map. The repo stays public, maintained as a historical artifact.
github.com / deepkaphaOPEN SOURCE
Routing-by-agreement and dynamic capsules, shipped on TensorFlow 1.x in Nov 2017. The lab's open source lives on at github.com/deepkapha — EarthAdaptNet, torchswarm, LLM fine-tuning and more.
