Facts. Pytorch is such a fun too for applied calculus. Just write down a program, compute its derivative, and do any of the fun things you can do with derivatives, like optimization or linear approximation.
- eschluntz 3y agoYeah exactly! I looked around, but couldn't find many other people using it for things besides neural networks though. Any favorite other examples you've seen?
- fritzo 3y agoMostly I use pytorch for statistical modeling https://pyro.ai https://pyro.ai . Under the hood that package uses a lot of Monte Carlo integration and variational methods (i.e. integration by optimization). It does support neural nets, but probably >80% of pyro users stick to simpler hierarchical Bayesian models.
