tract VS Pytorch

Tract is the most well known ML crate in Rust, which I believe can compile to WASM - https://github.com/sonos/tract/. Burn may also be useful - https://github.com/burn-rs/burn.

tract!!

we use tract for inference, integrated into our runtime and services.

Not for training, but for inference this looks nice: https://github.com/sonos/tract

There's also tract, from sonos[0]. 100% rust.

I'm currently trying to use it to do speech recognition with a variant of the Conformer architecture (exported to ONNX).

The final goal is to do it in WASM client-side.

As the article notes, there isn't any official Rust-native support for any common frameworks.

tract (https://github.com/sonos/tract) seems like the most mature for ONNX (for which TF/PT export is good nowadays), and recently it successfully implemented BERT.

There are some DL libraries written in Rust: https://github.com/sonos/tract , https://docs.rs/neuronika/latest/neuronika/index.html . The second one could be used for training, I think.

TensorFlow, developed by Google, and PyTorch, developed by Facebook, are two of the most popular frameworks for building and training complex machine learning models. TensorFlow is known for its flexibility and robust scalability, making it suitable for both research prototypes and production deployments. PyTorch is praised for its ease of use, simplicity, and dynamic computational graph that allows for more intuitive coding of complex AI models. Both frameworks support a wide range of AI models, from simple linear regression to complex deep neural networks.

> does PyTorch have a similar concept

of course https://github.com/pytorch/pytorch/blob/main/torch/utils/_py...

fyi should work on most 40xx[1]

Sure, right here: https://github.com/pytorch/pytorch/blob/main/torch/autograd/...

Here's the documentation: https://pytorch.org/tutorials/intermediate/forward_ad_usage....

> When an input, which we call “primal”, is associated with a “direction” tensor, which we call “tangent”, the resultant new tensor object is called a “dual tensor” for its connection to dual numbers[0].

*My post explains Dot, Matrix and Element-wise multiplication in PyTorch.

In PyTorch with @, dot() or matmul():

import torch # we use PyTorch: https://pytorch.org data = torch.tensor(encode(text), dtype=torch.long) print(data.shape, data.dtype) print(data[:1000]) # the 1000 characters we looked at earlier will to the GPT look like this

AI's Open Embrace Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are increasingly leveraging open-source frameworks like TensorFlow [https://www.tensorflow.org/] and PyTorch [https://pytorch.org/]. This democratization of AI tools is driving innovation and lowering entry barriers across industries.

Which label applies to a tool sometimes depends on what you do with it. For example, PyTorch or TensorFlow can be called a library, a toolkit, or a machine-learning framework.

In PyTorch with * or mul(). ` or mul()` can multiply 0D or more D tensors by element-wise multiplication:
