Where To Bring Visitors For Irish Food In Dublin
Decent list of Dublin eateries —
As a nation we’re still more well known for our imbibements than culinary prowess, but there’s no question that’s changing, and we feel it’s our patriotic duty to show visitors just how incredible the food in Dublin is. Consider this list as your go-to guide next time you want to show that Dublin is a whole lot more than fish & chips, full Irish breakfasts and spice bags (no disrespect to any of these fine dishes).

_Building Machine Learning Models Like Open-Source Software_
ACM Viewpoint from Colin Raffel:
‘This Viewpoint advocates for tools and research advances that will allow pre-trained [machine learning] models to be built in the same way that we build open source software. Specifically, models should be developed by a large community of stakeholders that continually updates and improves them. Realizing this goal will require porting many ideas from open source software development to the building and training of pre-trained models, which motivates many new research problems and connections to existing fields.’
