 Corey Zumar offers an overview of MLflow – a new open source platform to simplify the machine learning lifecycle from Databricks. MLflow provides APIs for tracking experiment runs between multiple users within a reproducible environment and for managing the deployment of models to production. MLflow is designed to be an open, modular platform. (Presentation with transcript included) |
 Jeff Smith covers some of the latest features from PyTorch - the TorchScript JIT compiler, distributed data parallel training, TensorBoard integration, new APIs, and more. He discusses some projects coming out of the PyTorch ecosystem like BoTorch, Ax, and PyTorch BigGraph. He digs into some of the use cases and industries where people are successfully taking PyTorch models to production. (Presentation with transcript included) |
 Brad Miro explains what deep learning is, why one may want to use it over traditional ML methods, as well as how to get started building deep learning models using TensorFlow 2.0. He walks through an example step-by-step of how to build an image classifier in Python, and then showcases how to leverage a technique called transfer learning to make building a model even easier. (Presentation with transcript included) |
