Wanted to let everyone know about "flare" a dynamic neural net library in Clojure. It currently can do some pretty complex models and on a simple bi-directional LSTM is 3x faster than PyTorch with a clean Clojure interface: https://github.com/aria42/flare
Hi great to hear that. As a general question, does it have different position from Cortex? https://github.com/thinktopic/cortex
Cortex is very much like Keras. It's a really useful library, but it's at a higher-level than say TF or PyTorch; Flare is similar to PyTorch where you can construct new tensor operations instead of composing layers. My personal interest is being able to build novel models. I also personally think the Flare API is a little cleaner but that's very subjective
impressive!
https://deepmind.com/blog/population-based-training-neural-networks/ interesting stuff, using evolutionary algorithms to find hyperparams
What are some ways you all are able to build up large databases without breaking the bank? I find Clojure is really suitable for data aggregation which is fantastic, but web scrapping appears to be a legal gray area.
There is also this google doc for Datasets for Machine Learning that I bookmarked but I can’t remember where it came from
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1AQvZ7-Kg0lSZtG1wlgbIsrm90HaTZrJGQMz-uKRRlFw/edit#gid=0
this one is pretty good too https://elitedatascience.com/datasets
@gigasquid Thanks much! I'm also really interested in aggregating novel data for people to use. Does anybody know if building sets like these is a viable part time job or is that unheard of?
I found quite a few postings on indeed and upwork to get myself started and I think technically speaking I could knock them out of the park, but most of what people were asking violated terms of services of various companies
@radomski isn't that how maxmind got started? by collecting datasets part-time.. (https://www.maxmind.com/en/geoip2-databases)
Maybe I should shoot them an email. I asked Semantic3 and they didn't have a response for me
@gigasquid: oh thanks !
Do you happen to remember where you found that out about those two organizations? These are two valuable leads for me. If you have more information I would appreciate it
