Alice Recoque

Alice Recoque (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 lead research focused on Artificial Intelligence.[1][2]She is an honor member of Société informatique de France[3].

Life and career

She was born in 1929 in Chechell, Algeria.

She finished ESPCI in 1954 with a title of graduate engineer and started working at Société d'électronique et d'automatisme (SAE)[2]. At SAE she worked on core memories of CAB1101 and later Alice Recoque and Françoise Becquet designed the mini-computer CAB500 in 1959. CAB500 ended being one of SAE big commercial successes.

After the merger of SAE and CAE the Compagnie internationale pour l'informatique (CII) was born in 1966[2]. She continued her work at CII when she worked on design of Mira computers. The first one Mira 15 launched in 1972. Both Mira 15 and CAB500 were a commercial success in France. Later she joined the Bull Group at CII where she lead the research on highly parallel machines and artificial intelligence[1][4]

In 1979 she received the Ordre national du Mérite - Au grade de Chevalier[5] In 1985 she was nominated the Officier de l'ordre national du Mérite[citation needed] .

She was a speaker at The European Association for microprocessing and microprogramming in August 1975. [6]

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
