-Distributed Training with Mulitple Learners
+Distributed Training with Multiple Learners
 * Trainer now accepts multiple parameter learners for distributed training. With this change, different parameters of a network can be learned by different learners in a single training session. This also facilitates distributed training for GANs. For more information, please refer to the [Basic_GAN_Distributed.py](/Examples/Image/GAN/Basic_GAN_Distributed.py) and the [cntk.learners.distributed_multi_learner_test.py](/bindings/python/cntk/learners/tests/distributed_multi_learner_test.py)
