Can we use VS Code on a remote machines?
If any of you have a good guide to use the features Jeremy just alluded to in vs code that’d be great !
Does anybody from fastai team use a visual debugger or IDE? It seems like you’re all perfectly fine with Vim and Jupyter =) Do you prefer set_trace (or breakpoint) calls instead of using UI tools?

squeeze is a PyTorch method to remove a dimension.

Any intuition about what this neural network learns in each intermediate layer (like the visualization he showed for CNN)? - that would help us understand what representation the network is building/improving…

same question for NLP?
@rachel I hope didn’t forget this one!

Not unless you’re Remote-Desktop-ing into it where you can see the graphical user interface. VSCode is a windowed, GUI app; not a terminal app.
Would X11 help?
Thanks for the reminder, I did forget

@jeremy did a text classifier on IMDB.
My question is how can we do a text regressor?

I am not too sure we will cover character-level NLP model in this version of the course. In part1-v2, we learnt about this topic in lesson 6—Recurrent Neural Network(RNN), “Character based model vs. word based model”
but this time, we will do it one character at a time. RNN is no different from what we have already learned in lesson 4.
However, in part1-v2, we have not started using transfer learning technique for NLP approach. Note, there is also something in between word & char-level model that is called Byte Pair Encoding (BPE) which looks at n-gram of characters.
I’ll wait for the next lessons.

Why no activation function for the last output?
What do you mean with ‘text regressor’?
@rachel Requesting again!

model input is text, model output is a number.

You mean continuous number? Can you give an example?
Do you mean activation function ?
