Implemented various implementations of scan and stream compaction
Implemented all code for character recognition
XOR example seems to work, actual character recognition seems to have issues with back propagation
I tried very very hard (and almost destroyed my repo in the process) to push my weights file for character recognition but it was too large (if you need it I have it and can send it another way)
Feedback on project: This project (really two projects) was an insane amount of work, especially for someone who's never done machine learning. At the very least, the readme could have been a little more descriptive about how back propagation works, or provide tips on how to organize/pass around data and create kernels for the process. Additionally, it was frustrating to later see stream compaction elevated to the more important assignment, especially after we were told to finish it quickly and spend more time on character recognition. I would have liked to have more spent more time actually optimizing my scan and stream compaction code and doing extra credit, rather than rushing through two assignments.
