Typos in Chapter 15 (mostly)

[t-vi]

The inimitable @stas00 looked at Chapter 15 and found some errors/unclear parts. I'm collecting them here while I work on getting them into the errata. Thank you, Stas! Any remaining bad bits are mine, of course.

p466:

• "// ...here we need to produce an output tensor from input"

doesn't make it clear that code has been removed, which makes it hard to understand where those variables in the subsequent lines suddenly appeared. I'd write it as:

[...] // here we need to produce an output tensor from input

i.e. it's not clear that ... merged with the comment is there to indicate that some code was snipped.

e.g. on page 471 it's loud and clear that code has been removed.

and later

• "auto input_ = torch::tensor" is misindented

p469:

• "When we look at the source code in the file"

it's not clear what "the file" is

• "torch::nn::ReflectionPad2d(1)" is misindented

p470:

"In contrast to what we did (and should!) in Python"

I can see you're alluding to __call__ but it's not obvious.

First I thought it'd be better to say:

"In contrast to what we did (and should not!) in Python"

but it's still ambiguous, might be easier to say it in direct language.

"As explained in earlier chapters in Python we don't normally call forward explicitly, but in C++ we do."

or something like that.

p475:

"Another approach to is to reduce the footprint of each parameter and operation:"

typo: first "to" shouldn't be there.

p476:

"convolutions and linear layers as weighted averages, we may expect rounding errors to typically cancel.19"

I think the correct expression is "to cancel out"

same goes for the footnote:

", leading to errors adding up rather than canceling."

==============

and earlier:

p87:

The capture:

"Figure 4.5 Transforming a 1D, multichannel dataset into a 2D, multichannel dataset by separating the date and hour of each sample into separate axes"

doesn't match the previous text:

"Our goal will be to take a flat, 2D dataset and transform it into a 3D one, as shown in figure 4.5."

The capture most likely needs to say "2D to 3D"
