Meta: Great Project and Initiative

[sirinath]

I would really like to see this project get legs and turning into something like Swift T (http://swift-lang.org/Swift-T/) or better!

[MikeInnes]

Thanks! It'd be worth comparing Swift-T to @shashi's excellent ComputeFramework.jl, which does the hard part of providing the runtime.

a few related projects I found:

• mxnet (https://github.com/dmlc/mxnet), which also has a julia interface
• Dask: a python library.

Hi @MikeInnes. Great meeting and hanging out at JuliaCon. A bunch of us in JuliaML are working through designs of what we hope will be a unifying framework for "learning with data". I think it's really important to have components as generic graph components. I'm wondering if you're interested (and have the time) to contribute to the project by possibly helping us integrate Flow.jl (or something similar) with machine learning models and components. Imagine TensorFlow for complex dynamically changing recurrent bayesian graphs. We're trying to get everyone in the Julia community with expertise and interest involved in the project. There's a central chat room in gitter: https://gitter.im/JuliaML/chat Let me know what you think!

Hey @tbreloff, likewise! Definitely interested, and I'll go ahead and write up some thoughts in the Gitter soon.
