Machine learning

Current implementation of Go binding can not specify options.

GPUOptions struct is in internal package. And go generate doesn't work for protobuf directory. So we can't specify GPUOptions for NewSession.

🚀 Feature

Teach torch.Tensor.scatter_ to handle index.size(d) > src.size(d).

Motivation

Currently, torch.Tensor.scatter_ requires index.size(d) <= src.size(d) for all dimensions d, unless src is float-valued. This constraint seems artificial.

import math
import torch

device = 'cuda'  # fail

I just discover that we have a helper function to validate scalar:
https://scikit-learn.org/stable/modules/generated/sklearn.utils.check_scalar.html

Since this helper could help to get consistent error types and messages, I was wondering if we could make a long-running issue to introduce this helper everywhere possible.

I think this could be a good issue for first contributors and short spr

Looking for ";" in the help REPL shows a docstring that describes its use as the end of statement and as output suppressor but it doesn't mention its use as a separator between positional and keyword arguments in function definitions and calls, nor about its role for building arrays or about its usage to access the shell REPL mode.
This is the same in v1.6 and master (August 8 2021).

Currently many more Python projects like dask and optuna are using Python type hints. With the Python package of xgboost gaining more and more features, we should also adopt mypy as a safe guard against some type errors and for better code documentation.
