Numpy versus Pytorch

by

Here we compare the accuracy and computation time of the training of simple fully-connected neural networks using numpy and pytorch implementations and applied to the MNIST data set. The Adam optimization algorithm in numpy and pytorch are compared, as well as the Scaled Conjugate Gradient optimization algorithm in numpy. The original notebook is available here. … Read more
