It’s been 5 years since we launched @pytorch. It’s much bigger than we expected -- usage, contributors, funding. We’re blessed with success, but not perfect. A thread (mirrored at https://soumith.ch/posts/2022/01/pytorch-retro/ ) about some of the interesting decisions and pivots we’ve had to make 👇

Understanding how neural networks reach decisions can be challenging, but is also valuable for uses from image analysis to scientific discovery. A new approach, called StylEx, discovers and visualizes how disentangled attributes affect a classifier → https://goo.gle/357gn9r
