Implementation of Mallat's Scattering transform

A year ago, I mentioned the work of Stephane Mallat ( Mallat's Invariants). It looks he and his co-authors (Joan Bruna and Joakim Anden) released an implementation of their scattering transform that allows different signals featuring the same object and its translated/rotated companion to be compared to each other using the Euclidian norm Here is the video presentation of a year ago

Summary

A Scattering transform defines a signal representation which is locally invariant to translations and potentially to other groups of transformations such as rotations or scaling. It linearizes deformations and is thus well adapted to signal classification. A scattering transform is implemented with a convolutional network architecture, iterating over wavelet decompositions and complex modulus. This web page provides articles and softwares on scattering transforms and classification applications.
