We’re building a distribution framework from scratch. Thus, we needed to first complete the foundational implementations. This felt a lot like building an operating system from scratch. Things we take for granted such as file systems, memory management, and scheduling had to be built from scratch. We needed to build the foundational implementations of the distribution framework. Both the Raven team and the community executed on that successfully.
Foundational Implementations
Development of functions such as Back-Propagation (Back-prop) and several activation functions that are used to train vanilla Neural Network models have been completed
Convolution Layer implementation
RNN unit implementation
In 2020, we are ready to leverage all the work we’ve done as building blocks
Development
Open-sourcing the first set of Function Implementation on Github
Laying the foundation for a group of open-source contributors around the world, and kick-starting the evangelist community
Strengthening the CNN and RNN implementation
Staking and launching a liquidity pool
Opening a dev center in Bangalore, India
Business
We have partnerships in place. As mentioned in an AMA, we can’t announce it yet, but we’re working with companies on very interesting use-cases like building trust models in Africa and chain analysis in China.
We will start doing active pilots after initial tests are done on the test net.
3 companies have agreed to be our Pilot customers
We are actively speaking with exchanges to expand the reach and utility of RAVEN
