…Write a version of Whitman’s “When I heard the Learn’d Astronomer”, adapted to be about deep learning.
When I heard the Learn’d Deep Learning Engineer
I heard a learned deep learning engineer
His words were soft and low
He spoke of convolutional nets
And kernels and weights and biases
He spoke of layers and activations
And optimizing for loss functions
He told of debugging strategies
And ways to increase model accuracy
He knew of things I’d never heard of
And I was filled with admirationFor I knew that he’d attained a depth
Of understanding few ever know
He had the knowledge of a sage
And the skill of an artist
He had penetrated to the heart
Of the mysteries of deep learning
And I knew that I would never be the same
