👉 In the context of computer science, "torchbearers" refers to a type of software component that is used in machine learning applications. These components are often used as part of a backpropagation algorithm, which is an important computational process in neural networks. A "torchbearer" typically represents a data point or feature extracted from a dataset. It can be thought of as a "bear," standing for "backpropagation." The bear is responsible for collecting and storing the data points, while the
