Description

Data scientists and machine learning professionals face a quandary of choices when trying to figure out how to scale their data science experiments, from deciding what tools to use (Keras, TensorFlow, scikit-learn, PyTorch, etc.) and the best ways to share models with customers and partners to managing cost efficiently. Arshak Navruzyan details the landscape of available options and explains how to make best use of the free and open source tools available.

Topics include:

  • Setting up the best ML test environment for the problem you’re trying to solve
  • How to run experiments locally, remotely, or in the cloud
  • Tips for monitoring and organizing experiments
  • A cost-efficient way to spin up compute
  • The best model libraries to use and for what
  • The best ways to manage artifacts and perform hyperparameter search
