back to article Something to fire up PyTorch fans, Facebook emits code for analyzing human poses, and more

Hi, here are a few announcements in the AI world from this week. Read on to find out what's happening with PyTorch, which startup Microsoft just bought, and who won OpenAI's Sonic challenge. Hurrah, more support for PyTorch: Amazon Sagemaker, a platform that deploys machine learning systems at scale, now supports models …

    “Buying the drone is indeed easy but designing an algorithm which can identify the violent individuals requires certain expertise related to designing deep systems which are not easy to acquire. I don't think that these systems are easy to implement,"

    Highly likely that once implemented, they'll eventually be acquirable by anyone determined enough.

    Why Python? Why not Lua?

    Torch was Lua based. Why has Facebook rewrote Torch2 it to Python?

    If there is one language syntax I can't stand, than it's Python - ugly, spaces have a meaning, no tabs allowed.

    Unfortunately, now both Google and Facebook AI are Python shops.

    It would have been great, if Facebook would have stayed with Lua or rewrote Torch to PHP. PHP is the better Python alternative, with a sane C-like syntax.

    Python has the v2 vs v3 problem too, with most distros still ship with v2 - which has incidentally even better unicode support. What a failed community.
