Edu-Video |”Building a Production Machine Learning Infrastructure” – Josh Wills /Dir. Data Scientist
(Reposted due to popular demand) Another great video from Josh Wills. Josh is Sr. Director of Data Science at Cloudera and has a gift for making fairly complicated technology explanations very digestible to the novice and intermediary techie.
What I most love about this video is how Josh explains -very clearly – the issue of translating analytics Machine Learning on a large set of data records (many individuals) and making it work well in a “real life” production environment on a single individual (think eCommerce). Watch Video
Edu-Video | “EDWARD”: A Library for Probabilistic Modeling, Inference, and Criticism | ML NYC Meetup
“Edward”: A library for probabilistic modeling, inference, and criticism Abstract https://www.meetup.com/NYC-Machine-Learning/events/236943279/ http://www.zentation.com/viewer2/webcast/NAPNgdDUBF/Dustin-Tran—Spotify-Talk-(2017-01-19) Probabilistic modeling is a powerful approach for analyzing empirical information. In this talk, I will provide an overview of Edward, a software library for probabilistic modeling. Formally, Edward is a probabilistic programming system built on computational graphs,supporting compositions of both models and inference […]
