Julia: A Modern Language For Modern ML

Julia is a modern high-performance, dynamic language for technical computing, with many features which make it ideal for machine learning, including just-in-time (JIT) compilation, multiple dispatch, metaprogramming and easy to use parallelism. This talk will demonstrate these features, and showcase a some of the cutting edge machine learning packages that available in the Julia ecosystem, as well as the tools to deploy these models at large scale.

Building Robust Machine Learning Systems

Machine learning is powering huge advances in products that we know and love. As a result, ever growing parts of the systems we build are changing from the deterministic to the probabilistic. The accuracy of machine learning applications can quickly deteriorate in the wild without strategies for...

DSSTNE: Deep Learning at Scale

DSSTNE (Deep Sparse Scalable Tensor Network Engine) is a deep learning framework for working with large sparse data sets. It arose out of research into the use of deep learning for product recommendations after we realized existing frameworks were limited to a single GPU or data-parallel scaling...
