CNTK as a workload for Visual Studio 2017 #2899

Open manuelelucchi opened 6 years ago

manuelelucchi commented 6 years ago

The CNTK installation is not so easy. It would be a lot better to have also a Workload on Visual Studio 2017 called "AI Tools" (or similar) that integrate both the AI Tools Extension, the CNTK-Adapted Anaconda and the Cognitive Toolkit itself.

Would Visual studio AI tools address your need?

manuelelucchi commented 6 years ago

Visual Studio AI Tools is a great tool but:

My idea was to merge Anaconda, CNTK and the extension for AI in a single workload for VS2017, to make easier the installation (and avoid to have both Anaconda 5.0.1, Anaconda 4.4.1 with CNTK and the standard python 3.6, as it happens now). It would be also a way to publicize the CNTK and make it easier for people to discover, use and update it
