PyDSLA - Dato: A Platform for Practical, Large-Scale Machine Learning
Join PyDSLA for a talk by Carlos Guestrin about Presents Practical, Large-Scale Machine Learning in python.
Summary:
Data Science is perhaps the hottest profession on the market today. Folks with backgrounds ranging from Statistics and Physics to Engineering and Computer Science are eager and excited to transition to this field. However, designing and deploying data analysis and machine learning apps at scale is a significant challenge to overcome: For some folks, machine learning algorithms and methods can be obscure, too mathy, and disconnected from practice. For others, writing and deploying scalable software requires significant effort, which distracts them from focusing on their deep analytic efforts.
In this talk, I will cover a key set of techniques for data engineering, modeling, and deployment, which can help getting started in large-scale machine learning problems. I will demo these techniques using GraphLab Create, and real-world, large-scale use cases.
