Description
I am unsure why, but we observe some non-deterministic behavior when running on the GPU.
The dynet-seed is set (as well as the python seed and the numpy seed), yet the losses in different runs start to diverge after a while (by the 100th update, is almost surely happens).
This does not happen with the same code on the CPU. Maybe there is a race condition somewhere?
