- lostmsu 7y agoYou can also do it with F# (which is derived from OCaml): https://notebooks.azure.com/lost/projects/gradient-samples/html/FashionMNIST.ipynb https://notebooks.azure.com/lost/projects/gradient-samples/h... Though the binding is not fully typed.
- Nelkins 7y agoThis project is also pretty interesting (also F#) : https://github.com/fsprojects/fsharp-ai-tools/blob/master/README.md https://github.com/fsprojects/fsharp-ai-tools/blob/master/RE...
- mratsim 7y agoAs someone who also wrote my own deep learning library from scratch in a less-known language (Nim: https://github.com/mratsim/Arraymancer https://github.com/mratsim/Arraymancer), I must say this looks very nice. I especially like the syntax for declaring neural networks. One thing I'm unclear of is the slicing. get_fancy seems quite complex compared to Numpy and it seems to return a copy instead of allowing in-place modification of a slice?
- smiths1999 7y agoI really like this but I wish they included some performance numbers. How does training and inference speed compare to TensorFlow or PyTorch?
- synaesthesisx 7y agoIs OCaml typically used in production at a lot of places (other than Jane Street)?
- fuklief 7y agoI'm guessing at least the sponsors of the OCaml software foundation: https://ocaml-sf.org/sponsors/ https://ocaml-sf.org/sponsors/
- xvilka 7y agoPlus Facebook with their Flow[1], Infer[2][3], Airbus with their BinCAT[4], and Frama-C[5].

- huy-nguyen 7y agoI know that Ahrefs and OneGraph use it for production.
- malberto 7y agoI work at Bloomberg in derivatives. C++ is our backbone but there is definitely a lot of OCaml in production. To tell it all we have BLAN, an OCaml-ish language that you (as our customer) can use to structure (exotic) derivative contracts and get them priced in DLIB.
- RocketSyntax 7y agoEnrolled in an OCaml course once. Dropped that like a sack of potatoes.
- k__ 7y agoMaybe Reason is more of your liking?
- nafizh 7y agoMachine learning needs a lot of data exploration, and data reflection. Problem with languages like OCaml is that, they are a bottleneck in that exploration where you have to think more about the language rather than the question you are trying to ask the data.
- wtetzner 7y agoI don’t think that’s true once you’re comfortable with the language.
