@asford would you be willing to write a quick blogpost about why you love Xarray for your workloads?
Sure, but this will probably be back-burner for at least a few weeks. I'll keep this in-stack with the discussed updates for torch support we had today.
This is a proposal for a sequencing/protein engineering use case story for Xarray. The story will be published on Xarray's blog (https://xarray.dev/blog).
Why?
@asford and colleagues are quite excited about using Xarray +torch for generative ML models and "protein engineering". It'd be nice to broadcast this out.
It's also interesting that they find coordinate variables quite useful and so DataArray is the right structure rather than Variable/NamedArray/pytorch.NamedTensor
What?
We are targeting a short and non-technical post that illustrates how Xarray is (or could be) used in your genomics context. Below is a template outline that you should feel free to modify:
Feel free to insert images or short code blocks if they help you tell your story.
How?
Xarray's blog using Markdown with some front-matter. You can copy one of the existing posts to get started or you can write in a google-doc-like-thing and ask us to do the markdown formatting. If you copy a previous post, use a name like
user-story-genomics
or whatever makes sense for your application.xref: https://github.com/xarray-contrib/xarray.dev/issues/272
