>We’ll still use @PyTorch but more for research lessons, I’ll post more on this decision soon! I did deliberate for several weeks on this though but ultimately it sped up development and decreased overhead for the practical lessons by a lot.
- amelius 7y ago> decreased overhead for the practical lessons by a lot. What do they mean by that?
- dual_basis 7y agoPresumably that it was easier to use to illustrate the actual content as opposed to implementation details. This is definitely the case, at least in TensorFlow 1.x there were a lot of details which made converting from [the way we think about the problem] to [practical implementation] more cumbersome. Some of these existed for good reason (eg. performance) while others were simply architectural cruft which the benefit of hindsight makes unnecessary.
