Can i use torch7, scientific computing framework?

Is it possible to use the torch7 framework in a minetest mod?
Website: http://www.torch.ch
It uses lua so i tought that maybe i could use this, it would make things a lot easier.
No Idea how to get it in minetest through.

Is it possible to use the torch7 framework in a minetest mod?
Website: http://www.torch.ch

Looking at that site:

A summary of core features:
* a powerful N-dimensional array
* lots of routines for indexing, slicing, transposing, ...
* linear algebra routines
* neural network, and energy-based models

So, it's kind-of a better calculator :-)

No Idea how to get it in minetest through.

I guess it will be a lot of work to include and support it.
So, why?
How could such a package be used in minetest ?

You can require it as a package like in other lua scripts, but it needs to be installed in your environment.

You could use it for AI or other machine learning tasks (such as cheat detection).

Is this the only way?
It would require everyone to install it, which basically means nobody will try a mod which depends on it.
Can't I include it somehow?

I want to use it for AI and learning mobs, but cheat detection is indeed possible to :P

I don't know, I've never used torch.

Minetest mods can use the require() function to include any kind of Lua modules. If this works with Torch7 then you can use it like that.
