Julia: A Fresh Approach to Machine Learning
summary
Julia claims real-world speed without leaving high-level code and shows concrete tooling: Flux for differentiable models, native GPU kernels and easy conversion to TensorFlow, the Juno IDE with step-through debugging, and the Celeste project that processes a decade of Sloan Digital Sky Survey data in ~15 minutes on a supercomputer. Examples include a working autonomous race car brain in Julia and flexible recurrent/LSTM abstractions that mirror paper math and actually train and run.
