=== Article Evaluation ===
Article: [[PyTorch]]

===== Content =====

* The article is very short. The history is lacking, because it's not about how the framework was developed and why. It just briefly talks about it current state and some problems encountered by Facebook. Definite could be longer.
* Section PyTorch tensors could contain for example different kind of tensors available.
* The modules described aren't cited. Their description seems a little bit biased e.g "PyTorch autograd makes it easy to define computational graphs".

===== Sources and tone =====
Sources come mostly from blog posts which isn't unexpected for an open source project. They all work, but apart from one book everything else comes from blog posts on for example VentureBeat, medium.com or other similar websites. The source linking to various types of tensors doesn't explain the subject, the link to project documentation would work better here. They seem biased because two of them come form the project website, but it can be the most reliable source about the subject.

The one source that seems out of place it the article titled "Tech giants are using open source frameworks to dominate the AI community". It contains a lot of what if questions.

The source about description of the framework is outdated, because it comes from beginning of 2018 and the page that it originally linked to doesn't exist and can only be accessed by waybackmachine.

===== Talk pages and rating =====
There was a discussion about deleting this article in 2017. The article rating is stub-class and low-importance. There are 51 editors of this article, but out of them only 9 updated it this year.

NationalityFrench
EducationÉcole supérieure de physique et de chimie industrielles
Occupation(s)Computer Scientist, Computer Engineer

Alice Recoque, née Arnaud[1] (born Cherchell, Algeria; 1929) is a French computer scientist, computer engineer and computer architecture specialist. She worked on the designs of mini-computers in 1970s and led research focused on Artificial Intelligence.[2][3]

Early life

[edit]

She was born in 1929 in Chechell, Algeria. She finished École supérieure de physique et de chimie industrielles in 1954 with a title of graduate engineer and started working at Société d'électronique et d'automatisme (SAE)[3].

Career

[edit]
Mitra 15

At SAE she worked on core memories of CAB1101. In 1956 Alice Recoque and Françoise Becquet started designing the mini-computer CAB500 - the first conversational desktop computer[4]. The computer was released in 1960.[5] The CAB500 was a French low cost mini-computer, the purpose of which was to do complex, scientific calculations.

After the merger of SAE and CAE, the Compagnie internationale pour l'informatique (CII) was born in 1966[3]. She continued her work at CII when she worked on designing Mitra computers. The first design, Mitra 15, launched in 1972. Both the Mitra 15 and CAB500 were commercial successes in France.

She led the Bull Group at CII. In 1985 the Bull Group focused on the research on highly parallel machines and artificial intelligence.[2] During that period she helped develop the language KOOL(knowledge representation object-oriented language) with it's implementation in LISP.[6]

She was a speaker at The European Association for microprocessing and microprogramming in August 1975.[7]

Achievements

[edit]

In 1979 she received the Ordre national du Mérite - Au grade de Chevalier.[8]

In 1985 she was promoted for the Officier de l'ordre national du Mérite[9].

In 2016 she became an honor member of Société informatique de France.[4]
