It's cool that they provided bindings for Torch, but also interesting. Torch is obviously very widespread/popular as a deep learning framework, but I got the impression that Baidu's Silicon Valley AI Lab (SVAIL) ran mostly a custom C/C++ codebase.
Most likely the Torch bindings were added to help spur a wider variety of researchers to use their CTC implementation (i.e. it doesn't mean they've switch to Torch internally). But still interesting to see.
