DSE’s previous post blog post concluded by illustrating some of the limitations of the TensorFlow library. The off-the-shelf package is a great tool for deep learning, but with large model sizes these limitations become increasingly noticeable and require custom matrix operations to be implemented in the C++ source code. Custom Op Motivations Recall that only […]
