Difference between .value() and forward()

[cp1...@my.bristol.ac.uk]

Hi All,

I was wondering if anyone could give me a quick explanation of the difference between...

.value()

and...

dynet::forward()

It seems to me they are the same as they both return a Tensor of values by evaluating a given expression.

I have just started using dynet to integrate it into my thesis for Deep Reinforcement Learning in the rendering pipeline for a path tracer., and I am still getting to grips with it.

Thank you,

Cal
