This looks interesting, it's great to see more machine learning efforts in typed languages.
I'm a bit surprised to see no mention of Owl (https://github.com/owlbarn/owl https://github.com/owlbarn/owl an older project for scientific computing in OCaml that was resurrected recently), I wonder how they compare.
The Raven README mentions:
> We prioritize developer experience and seamless integration.
so maybe that's one difference — I used Owl on a course project about a decade ago, and while it got the job done, I remember the experience being rather painful compared to Numpy (even though I was more experienced with OCaml than with Python at the time).
- UncleOxidant 1y agoWasn't there something about Owl being "concluded" about a year ago because the 2 developers no longer had time for the project? Is Raven the successor to Owl?
- deredede 1y agoIt was, but then they changed their mind apparently https://discuss.ocaml.org/t/owl-project-restructured/14226 https://discuss.ocaml.org/t/owl-project-restructured/14226 Too early to tell what it will lead to. > Is Raven the successor to Owl? That's what I am wondering too (especially with the name), but I couldn't find a reference to Owl in the repo.
