Use PyTorch as the reference deep learning framework/architecture for future projects #211

Description

@antoinecarme

PyAF will use PyTorch as its deep learning architecture for future projects. A few reasons for this :

  1. Pytorch is fully open source. Green (Ensure that PyAF is and remains Green #176 )
  2. PyTorch internal/technical choices are very sane. It works even in very hash environments : SPARC64 architecture.
  3. SPARC64 architecture : abandoned years ago, no commercial support, very strong technically ( manycore, > 128 threads), with approximate OS (Debian rocks here ;), was able to build a set of packages for PyTorch from scratch : https://github.com/antoinecarme/sparc-t3-data/tree/master/debian-sparc64/packages
  4. PyAF runs OK with PyTorch on SPARC64 and uses all the 128 threads for some complex hierarchical forecasting models.
