About us

History

This project was started by Alykhan Tejani, Francisco Massa and Joost van Amersfoort in the end of 2017 and was highly inspired by torchnet.

In 2018, the project core team had grown and the first public release was published in June 2018. Since then, several releases have appeared following a ~5 month cycle, with a thriving international community leading the development.

Governance

PyTorch-Ignite is a NumFOCUS Affiliated Project and open-source community effort. The Project’s affiliation to PyTorch organization is due in large part to historical reasons and it has the same implication to the project’s governance as the other community projects from the PyTorch Ecosystem.

The decision making process and governance structure of the project is described in the governance document.
