Also it would be great if you could provide some updated numbers on how much OpenMP helps, etc., just to give an idea---I haven't run the updated code myself, but...

Yes, actually, it would be really nice to have some `developer_guide.md` or similar file that has this information and then other relevant things (like the style guide) from the Wiki....

We do need a generic implementation that will work with Bandicoot and that is what this issue is about, but since this is such an important piece of code I...

Oh, nice, this looks good. In the first graph you posted, is that absolute error or relative error?

Yeah, I think the Padé approximation is an improvement overall. @zoq you did the original fast version, what do you think? For the dropout layer I think we are actually...

I think the `X >= 13` limit is just to give a shortcut for large values. It doesn't have to be 13, but I suspect it won't make a huge...

Thanks @mdashti for that tip! :+1:

I would absolutely love to help with this, and then the bindings are automatically kept up-to-date upstream (and also they will be in sync with all other bindings). We have...

I can help with the CMake when it comes to that---basically from the mlpack side, once you can hand-generate a binding, it's just a matter of writing the code that...
