Jane Street is noted for its use of OCaml, so it's interesting to see that their researchers do indeed use Python (judging from the code in that post, at least)

- Rainymood 7y agoCould it be that Python is being used for rapid prototyping but OCaml for production? I've heard of several trading firms with this approach.
- joshvm 7y agoThey've also used OCaml for deep learning: https://blog.janestreet.com/deep-learning-experiments-in-ocaml/ https://blog.janestreet.com/deep-learning-experiments-in-oca... Although it seems to be an OCaml binding into TF, rather than a native implementation.
- stochastic_monk 7y agoThere’s a similar tch-rs project wrapping libtorch, and in general, deeclaring neural networks is particularly intuitive in functional languages.
- xvilka 7y agoThere is a project that aims to bring NN/ML/DL/RL (along with other scientific computations) in the OCaml world - Owl[1]. They also have a list[2] of the potentially interesting ideas for new contributors to take.
