I think Microsoft should take some initiatives to help bring more of these projects into the .NET ecosystem. C# is a fantastic language, and is generally missing out on a lot of this ML stuff.
(Although maybe it conflicts with their desire to profit from it?)
- dkarapetyan 10y agoThere are no conflicts. The latest strategy across the board is to give away everything for free and then run it on the cloud. In that sense microsoft has a lot to gain actually by offering a solution in .net and then making it dead simple to deploy to azure. Software and hardware are now a commodity and all the big players know it. So the only way to make money is to add value some other way like making it dead simple to deploy tensor flow graphs in gce.
- mark_l_watson 10y agoI agree with you on Microsofts/Googles/Amazon's cloud business strategy. In spite of the apparent good profits Amazon is making, I question how profitable this business will be long term. I expect large gross sales and small profits because of intense competition.
- chewxy 10y agoMicrosoft has CNTK - https://github.com/Microsoft/CNTK https://github.com/Microsoft/CNTK Which surprisingly is one of the few I didn't refer to when implementing Gorgonia
- pjmlp 10y agoBesides the CNTK referred on a sibling comment, I imagine Alea GPU (http://quantalea.com/ http://quantalea.com/) could be used for such purposes.
