Nice! Out of curiosity, did you build it to learn/practice the low level concepts of deep learning? If so, was it worth it?

- montebicyclelo 6y agoThanks. Yes, I did. During the process of making this [1] more basic autodiff framework, I realised that it could become actually usable if the values the "Variables" contained were NumPy arrays. Then I just found myself chipping away it at. It was worth it for me, since I found it fun to work on, learned many things, and want to continue learning in this area. A limitation is that one only has to work out the local gradients of operations, which may or may not provide insight into the more complicated models composed of these operations.
