I'm not convinced a paper with a website and some proof of concepts would be considered the "best". You're throwing around a bunch of components in to a distro calling yourselves everything from "deep learning&quot

They picked such a horrible name for this. Yes it's catchy but please understand what it actually is. You have every ML vendor (disclaimer: My competitors) following google with this name trying to get a piece of the hype pie spreading

My cofounder and I are remote now after having lived together for 2.5 years. I think a lot of remote first companies do this, but it only works based on a good working relationship. 99% of the time, a lot of folks will tell you it doesn&#x2

Yes and so are the other frameworks? When I said "scratching our own itch" google is building it for their own strategic initiatives ranging from hiring to google cloud. FB uses pytorch for their research, caffe2 for deployment. C

As a DL framework author myself, I can say for a fact we all steal good ideas from each other. There's no conspiracy here. A lot of folks not actually building the tools like to assume there's some big war going on where we'r

Few things about netlib-java. 1: It's a read only repository now. It's retired. Lack of maintenance will hurt its long term prospects. 2. The license on net lib java's native binaries are not commercial friendly 3. Net lib ja

Hi fellow YC alumni! See the pitch here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16399326 We'll be supporting PMML and the like as well. The goal is to hit the simple things rather than perpetuating the latest hype like t

This is basically all we do (Disclaimer: This is mainly meant for bigger companies, not startups): https://skymind.ai/platform - reach out if you have any questions. Mail in profile. One thing I'll say is "just k8

I haven't had this problem either. We also tend to hire more experienced folks though. A lot of startups are hiring junior folks who might not know the best way to structure things. There aren't a ton of incentives to write tests

Dislcaimer: I am not fully on bored with k8s and enable clusters that are not kubernetes as well as k8s deployments. Is pachyderm actually used anywhere though? Especially compared to the hadoop distros? Why would I use this over just spin

Check out LargeVis then. The original github repo by the authors has a sparse mode: https://github.com/lferry007/LargeVis/ TSNE didn't scale well no matter what you did to it (hence the newer technique) - in

For those interested in this space, folks might like some of the work that went in to visualizing T Distributed Stochastic Neighbor Embedding and the successor to that LargeVis which use multiple forms of KNN trees each with their own trade

Then use their docs. In general, I would follow a few tutorials specific to red hat. For now, decompose it focusing on using jaxrs for now. The only other thing might be JNDI for accessing data sources. The rest will come from that.

This might be a hard pill to swallow...but it's going to be highly dependent on your app server. Java EE is just a set of annotations with several different vendors implementing the standard in an app container. I would look at the doc

Yeah sorry, I just assume people click profiles :).

No we're a horizontal AI platform vendor with a strong focus on anomaly detection in time series applications. Our main product is a competitor to AWS sagemaker for on prem and hybrid cloud deployments.

We're "horizontal". We would not fit his definition of a vertical specific startup. (We have also been around a while though) The bulk of what we do is time series. Applications we do for real paying customers include: Detec

Cuda4j is only implemented in the ibm jvm and last I saw was slow to add newer cuda versions.

This is what I did. I hired someone already local and he handed the company to me (didn't want risk, mainly wanted the salary, we were already well funded) Be aware it does take a bit of capital though.

Ahh yes sorry for the typo. Fixed! And it will be possible but again support isn't actually implemented by anyone yet. They just "signed on". Tensorflow is the only supported format right now for tensorrt.

I just want to call out something with onnx. It will be slated to improve this year but be very careful what you try to do with it. A lot of basic things don't work yet. See: http://pytorch.org/docs/0.4.0/onnx

The arrow integration and persistence and connecting this to jdbc would be an MVP to me that would at least allow folks to imitate pandas. While you do have new ideas here if folks can express these ideas in terms of ways they're famil

Ok so you're defining new operations on top of existing primitives. Makes sense! The concepts look more interesting than the library right now (it doesn't move the needle for me production wise yet) but it has potential! Every p

The core looks close enough to dataframes that I'd be curious to know how you compare to tablesaw: https://github.com/jtablesaw/tablesaw This looks neat but I'm not sure why I would care about this. There&#x2

I'm usually a critic of my home state for a variety of reasons but I have to say it's been impressive to watch them change over time. Whatever folks think of Ford and Quicken Loans as companies, it's great to see the public s
