"Those bugs that hide"

Here we are at the penultimate blog post. Things finally look like they're wrapping up! There was a key discrepancy I noticed between the code I was working from and the connectionist temporal classification (CTC) algorithm as described by Graves (2012) and how it was impelemented in Baidu's warp-ctc library …



"Update: Bug-fixing and interfacing"

We're coming into the final stretch of coding for Google Summer of Code 2018 here. The last post I made was not necessarily the most hopeful, but I hope this post will reinvigorate things a bit. I have accomplished quite a bit in these last two weeks, so let's talk …



"Coding period two update: GPU coding and gradients"

I'd like to begin this post with a word of advice: never assume that the problem you're working on is too complex to find useful information on using Google. I'm sure you're at least acutely aware of this, but reinforce it for yourself for a moment. It will be relevant …



"Second status update"

These last two weeks have been spent working on the connectionist temporal classification loss function. Last post, I mentioned that was my bugbear for this project because it is difficult to get coded and working correctly. Coding it up has been an odyssey, to say the least. It's not been …



"First status update"

We are upon the first evaluation period, so it's a good time to check in. My time so far in the Google Summer of Code program has been a joy. It's been wonderful to be able to interact with a coding community and spend a significant amount of time working …
