+Likely
+------
+
+`Likely <http://www.liblikely.org>`_ is an embeddable just-in-time Lisp for
+image recognition and heterogenous architectures. Algorithms are just-in-time
+compiled using LLVM’s MCJIT infrastructure to execute on single or
+multi-threaded CPUs and potentially OpenCL SPIR or CUDA enabled GPUs. Likely
+exploits the observation that while image processing and statistical learning
+kernels must be written generically to handle any matrix datatype, at runtime
+they tend to be executed repeatedly on the same type. Likely also seeks to
+explore new optimizations for statistical learning algorithms by moving them
+from an offline model generation step to a compile-time simplification of a
+function (the learning algorithm) with constant arguments (the training set).
