Hello, I started writing a raw interface to Tensorflow, but I stopped for various reasons [¹]. If anyone wants to work on it I can help and/or share what I've produced so far.
[¹] three main reasons: * Ethics: I wouldn't like to be part of an effort to control people and free speech; * I don't trust how Google manages its projects (Just google for "google graveyard". I've been burned twice by Google dropping its products, so pardon me if I'm wary) * Lack of experience in the specific field of machine learning: while I understand the basics and I know how to interface C and Raku, I know that the Tensorflow C API is seldom used directly. Programmers usually work with the Python interface, which is much more extensive, but as far as I know, poorly documented. Those are just my opinions and I'm happy to change my opinions when facts contradict them ;-) On Sun, Dec 8, 2019 at 12:50 PM Peter Scott <pe...@psdt.com> wrote: > Raku libraries for Keras/Tensorflow, or AWS, or Kubernetes, leveraging the > novel features of Raku, could be killer apps for Raku.
