DistBelief Legacy: Model and Data Parallelism in Modern Neural Networks
By
–
I'm still a bit surprised that you think the system (DistBelief) that first combined large scale model- and data- parallelism with backprop-based training of very large neural nets is a "dead end", given that nearly every large-scale model that is trained today combines these

DistBelief convolutions development shared weights 2012
By
–
We supported shared weights from very early in DistBelief development, and we started adding support for various kinds of convolutions in March of 2012 (because convolutions are a very sensible idea for some things!), and you visited in July, I believe.

DistBelief Convolutions Backpropagation Training Before ICML 2012
By
–
DistBelief supported convolutions and end-to-end training with convolutions via backprop before the ICML 2012 paper appeared (even though that particular paper didn't use convolutions).

Matrix Classes and Neural Networks: From BPTT to Modern Frameworks
By
–
In the 90s I had to first implement matrix classes before I could even start coding neural nets – it was awful! I suffered so much with BPTT! Matlab did make things more efficient and was great until Python arrived. Leon Bottou and Yann Lecun pioneered SGD and torch style

Python and C++ in Computer Science Education Since 2005
By

There is a record. We started using python for teaching in 2008 (

…) but the team was on if from around 2005. Of course, some people still preferred matlab (eg @sirbayes who still loves it ). Our MoE work (PAQ8) around 2008 was all on C++ because of -
Automatic Differentiation Frameworks Revolutionized Machine Learning Development
By
–
To be honest, Geoff still uses Matlab and that is how we got dropout and distillation. I think software frameworks based on automatic differentiation (eg torch) changed the game, but whether it was lua, matlab or python seemed to matter less. Granted I prefer python and indeed my
