Yes, totally agree. TF is solid and it’s still my goto tool, but the API has a very low elegance score, to put it nicely. Clearly the team has a lot of brillian engineers, but they…

Not only the language, but have at least one line that says what this is. I can guess that it’s a hosted notebook service, but I can’t tell how it’s different from Jupyter Notebook…

This architecture is optimized for accuracy rather than speed. The official paper reports 200ms inferencing time per image on a GPU. This implementation is likely a bit slower beca…

Evaluation code against MS COCO is included in the repository, both for bounding boxes and segmentation masks so it should be easy to run (but takes a long time). We should publish…
