Thanks for Ryan's valuable advice! I saw in the chat channel that there's another contributor who wants to take up this CUDA project, and he/she wants to start with CNN. To avoid duplication, I'd love to start with multi-head attention. If this is plausible, I'll draft a proposal based on this.
And, if I may ask, would Ryan or Marcus like to be my GSoC mentor?
