History

Bob has distant roots from Torch 3 vision, a variant of Torch, which was/is a framework for machine learning, initially developed at the Idiap Research Institute in Switzerland. It diverged from Torch in its infancy to become a completely independent project focused primarily on tools for biometrics, forensics, machine learning and signal processing. Here are some links to older versions of Torch that served as an inspiration:

• Torch 3
• Torch 3 Vision
• Torch 5
