Absolutely. I agree with you. For the purposes of her article, I think it's more than enough. Most discussions about issues of diversity and similar "dangerous ideas" try to use statistics to back them up but often do use st

The solution to that is to write a C-batcher. Gorgonia uses that (optional) - https://github.com/chewxy/gorgonia/tree/master/blase (also it's undergoing major reconstruction/refactoring right n

It means check both ways Gamma |- e => t Given Gamma (the environment) and e, you want to derive the type t (bog standard type inference). The other direction also holds: Gamma |- e <= t Now we want to ensure that e

It really depends on the type of things that you do - if your network is deep and has a lot of matrix multiplication, GPUs definitely do speed things up. Libraries like cuDNN have built in optimized convolution ops that will also make convo
