Collection of quotes about PyTorch

This post is a collection of quotes about PyTorch (initially released in 2016). There are 3 quotes listed below. License: CC BY-SA 3.0

1. "A number of pieces of deep learning software are built on top of PyTorch, including Tesla Autopilot, Uber's Pyro, Hugging Faces's Transformers, PyTorch Lightning, and Catalyst." (Wikipedia: PyTorch, 10.18.22 UTC 04:08)

2. "PyTorch uses a method called automatic differentiation. A recorder records what operations have performed, and then it replays it backward to compute the gradients. This method is especially powerful when building neural networks to save time on one epoch by calculating differentiation of the parameters at the forward press." (Wikipedia: PyTorch, 10.18.22 UTC 04:08)

3. "PyTorch provides two high-level features:

Tensor computing (like NumPy) with strong acceleration via graphics processing units (GP)
Deep neural networks built on a tape-based automatic differentiation system."
