Ronan Collobert, Samy Bengio, and Johnny Mariéthoz developed Torch, an open-source machine learning library written in C++ and Lua. Torch became one of the earliest highly scalable computing frameworks used by major laboratories to build and train early deep neural network architectures, serving as the direct intellectual ancestor to modern PyTorch.
