- seanmcdirmid 8y agoFlux has been used for many many many project and product names.

- ChrisRackauckas 8y agoIn ML? What other ML and data science software? I'm curious because I couldn't find any. Of course a generic name is used many ways, but of course we're talking about in context.
- seanmcdirmid 8y agoProbably! A generic fictional software product name is something like “Acme Flux,” which is analogous to John Smith for people. Given it’s common use as a placeholder, there must be a few, here is one from 1984: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/0743731584900029 https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/0743731584.... It is difficult to search for though since it is such a widely used name, probably one of the most widely used one.
- ChrisRackauckas 8y agoWhat you link to isn't an ML software. If it's so easy to find, why not link to one? http://fluxml.ai/ http://fluxml.ai/ comes to mind without having to search of course, but I am still not seeing any others.
