Possible Updates to requirements.txt?

[kwesiRutledge]

This is a curiosity question as I try to finalize code on the aCLBF project and think about onboarding others to use this repo: Should we bring some of the libraries in requirements.txt up-to-date?

Currently, I find myself:

• Writing overly verbose code because macros like .mT are not defined in torch==1.9.1 but are in later versions, and
• Unable to use features like Lightning's support for Apple M1 Processors

because of the current versioning. It might be nice to upgrade a handful of these. This could be a huge lift for some libraries, but maybe is not so bad for others.

On the other hand, we've already seen in this issue how changing the torch version seems to lead to breaking, but fixable issues. Just a curiosity question. If there is enough interest, then maybe I'll make a concerted push for this.
