Accomplishments
Software:
We talked in more detail about the Python API design, with the new changes making it easier for the user to write code in order to train their specific set of models. We also ran into an issue with the software side in regards to figuring out the size in weights of a particular model. The solution to this was to use a third-party Python package called ‘torchsummary’ to help calculate the size of the model. This PyTorch package is supposed to replicate the Keras API that prints out model statistics for a given model. GPU benchmarking is almost complete, currently fixing a small bug with metrics.
Schedule Changes
Due to the recent outbreak of the COVID-19 virus, we expect a schedule change in the coming week since we no longer have access to our lab and will not be able to meet in person anymore.
