Weeks 7 & 8
Moving on: Stage 2 with TensorFlow I've spent a lot of time working on stage 1, the legal/illegal instruction classifier, and unfortunately haven't made much progress. I wrote a lot of code , but ran into so many problems (with software as well as hardware) that I wasn't able to get a working classifier. I've decided to cut my losses and move on to stage 2. I've also decided to ditch PyTorch for the more mature TensorFlow. This has proven to be a very good decision: after a few minor hiccups, I can now train networks on a new NVIDIA GPU that I bought. I find TensorFlow much easier and more complete than PyTorch, although I'm sure the latter will continue to get better as it develops. In any case, I've been hard at work writing code for stage 2 and have found far more success with TensorFlow. It's going to be tough to get enough done in the five weeks remaining to pull off a decent investigative report, but I'm fairly confident I can manage it if I...
