JAX: When NumPy Isn't Enough
Registration
Registration is now closed (this event already took place).
Details
JAX is a Python library for high-performance array computations. It adheres to the Python Array API and is therefore a drop-in replacement for NumPy. It can outperform NumPy in many ways: it is accelerator-oriented, supports JIT compilation and automatic differentiation. These advantages make JAX a rising star in the world of deep learning. However, these benefits also come at the price of some flexibility.
This workshop introduces the JAX project, shows when it makes sense to use JAX instead of NumPy and discusses the sharp bits of JAX.
Format: Presentation and hands-on with Google Colab
