Backpack for deep learning August 17, 2017
This is a guest post by Kaixi Ruan.
Backpack is a module system for Haskell, released recently in GHC 8.2.1. As this is a new feature, I wanted to know how people use it. So I searched Twitter every day, and the other day I saw this tweet:
Are there other examples than String/Bytestring/Text? So far I haven’t seen any; it seems like backpack is just for glorified string holes.
There were a number of good responses, but I want to give another use case from deep learning.
