I am excited to announce the release of FastAI.jl which has been in the works for over a year now. FastAI.jl is a high-level, user-friendly library for training deep learning models built on Flux.jl. It draws inspiration from the great fastai . We hope the package makes the Julia deep learning ecosys…

This is a very cool project! :slight_smile: That said, unless you are representing FastAI (which is a specific organization/entity), it might be better to choose another name if all you wish to portray is a similar flavor of ease-of-use. I don’t know if FastAI has registered trademarks (and can th…

See here it looks like Jeremy Howard, (one of) the maintainer(s)/creator of FastAI is thrilled to have the project named like this and is also excited about the general Julia ML community! Hopefully trademarks and stuff have been sorted if necessary but if the author is pleased then that’s 99% of th…

We (well, not me, the folks who put the hard work into FastAI and supporting libraries) have been in touch with Jeremy and fast.ai contributors off and on since the project’s inception :slightly_smiling_face:. You can probably find the nitty-gritty details scattered across Zulip and the fastai disco…

How does FasAI.jl fit among other similar Julia’s packages and how it compares to them (Flux, Knet, Merlin, TensorFlow…)?

Great to hear! @holylorenzo & co, Good luck with the project! :tada: The modular pieces look particularly useful and exciting for everyone in the Julia ecosystem :+1: :grin:

FastAI builds on top of Flux which it uses as a differentiable programming toolbox for neural networks. FastAI then provides different levels of abstractions that allows practitioners to quickly develop models for specific tasks such as image classification etc. There are many more nuances of course…

FastAI.jl is built on top of many packages and combines them. It uses Flux.jl for models and optimization, but is still useful if you’re not using Flux.jl. Flux.jl is to FastAI.jl what PyTorch is to fast.ai. FastAI.jl builds on many other packages as well; some purpose-built for FastAI.jl, but all u…

I’ve just updated the description with the meeting link for the Q&A about FastAI.jl that’s happening 02.08., 10PM UTC (03.08., 12AM CEST | 8AM AEST). If you already have a question in mind, you can submit it to the pigeonhole link. Meeting link: Launch Meeting - Zoom Link for collecting and upvoti…

Congratulations, fantastic progress! I tried your Pluto.jl blog post/example from https://lorenzoh.github.io/posts/fastaijl_ecosystem.html . There was a small issue that prevented it to work for me: From worker 2: WARNING: both FastAI and CairoMakie export "Image"; uses of it in module workspace2 …
