Q: Is there an easy-to-find, easy-to-use searchable website where I can find a comprehensive inventory of Julia packages and Julia package documentation?
A: Pkg.julialang.org now includes improved Julia package documentation and search powered by JuliaTeam. You can now search Julia package names, tags, code and documentation to find the best Julia packages that fit your requirements.
Please contact us to learn how JuliaTeam can provide this same functionality within your enterprise development environment, including your own private Julia packages and more.
Stefan Karpinski explains in JuliaTeam Vision:
Documentation. Providing a single place to find all documentation for the Julia packages that you use. This service offers a single consistent place and way to host and publish package documentation. It also makes cross-linking docs between packages easy since they all live in the same place. Developers shouldn't ever have to set up or think about the how of documentation hosting‚ they should just need to follow standard conventions for inline docs and then push their code. The docs service does the rest: cross-linked, searchable (see the next bullet point) docs are generated automatically.
Search. Currently search and discovery of packages is a serious pain point in the Julia ecosystem. JuliaTeam will provide integrated search of documentation and code for all packages. This will let you find the package that does what you need, whether it's a public open source package or a private package that your organization uses‚ they'll all be searchable in a single place.
Los Alamos National Laboratory Uses Julia to Predict Power Outages Caused by Extreme Events: Los Alamos National Laboratory used Julia to develop free, open source package - PowerModelsMLD.jl - that simulates the impact of disasters and predicts how the electric grid will be affected. This software can be used to allocate evacuation, rescue, relief and recovery resources.
Naval Postgraduate School Researchers Use Julia for Next Generation Climate Model: Naval Postgraduate School Professors Frank Giraldo, Lucas Wilcox and Jeremy Kozdon use Julia to create a new Earth Systems Model that is "poised to be the most accurate climate modeling system to date.‚"
Julia: The Programming Language Machine Learning Needs
The discussion around the future of machine learning continues to be atopic of interest at conferences and on Twitter. As workloads become diverse and complex, and generalize from the neural networks of today to Differentiable Programming, the question about programmability naturally arises. We have published several blogs on the topic (What is Differentiable Programming and Reinforcement Learning vs. Differentiable Programming).
Facebook AI's Soumith Chintala has this to say about Julia:
JuliaAcademy: Julia Computing's training offerings continue to expand. JuliaAcademy is the Julia Computing training platform for 3 types of learning: self-directed, online instructor-led and in-person onsite training.
