Nick Pentreath (IBM)

The common perception of deep learning is that it results in a fully self-contained model. However, in most cases, these models have similar requirements for data preprocessing as does more "traditional" machine learning. Despite this, there are few standard solutions for deploying end-to-end deep learning. Nick Pentreath explores how the ONNX format and ecosystem addresses this challenge. Read more.
