Elefant (Efficient Learning, Large-scale Inference, and Optimisation Toolkit) is an open source library for machine learning Elefant include modules for many common optimisation problems arising in machine learning and inference. It is designed to be modular and easy to use. Framework provides easy to use python interface, which can be use for quick prototyping and testing inference algorithms.

Your friends and colleagues are talking about something called "Bayes' Theorem" or "Bayes' Rule", or something called Bayesian reasoning. They sound really enthusiastic about it, too, so you google and find a webpage about Bayes' Theorem and... It's this equation. That's all. Just one equation. The page you found gives a definition of it, but it doesn't say what it is, or why it's useful, or why your friends would be interested in it. It looks like this random statistics thing.
