  • Update Your Model's View Of The World In Real Time With Streaming Machine Learning Using River

    Update Your Model's View Of The World In Real Time With Streaming Machine Learning Using River
    Dec 12 2022
    Preamble This is a cross-over episode from our new show The Machine Learning Podcast, the show about going from idea to production with machine learning. Summary The majority of machine learning projects that you read about or work on are built around batch processes. The model is trained, and then validated, and then deployed, with each step being a discrete and isolated task. Unfortunately, the real world is rarely static, leading to concept drift and model failures. River is a framework for building streaming machine learning projects that can constantly adapt to new information. In this episode Max Halford explains how the project works, why you might (or might not) want to consider streaming ML, and how to get started building with River. Announcements Hello and welcome to the Machine Learning Podcast, the podcast about machine learning and how to bring it from idea to delivery.Building good ML models is hard, but testing them properly is even harder. At Deepchecks, they built an open-source testing framework that follows best practices, ensuring that your models behave as expected. Get started quickly using their built-in library of checks for testing and validating your model’s behavior and performance, and extend it to meet your specific needs as your model evolves. Accelerate your machine learning projects by building trust in your models and automating the testing that you used to do manually. Go to themachinelearningpodcast.com/deepchecks today to get started!Your host is Tobias Macey and today I’m interviewing Max Halford about River, a Python toolkit for streaming and online machine learning Interview IntroductionHow did you get involved in machine learning?Can you describe what River is and the story behind it?What is "online" machine learning? What are the practical differences with batch ML?Why is batch learning so predominant?What are the cases where someone would want/need to use online or streaming ML? The prevailing pattern for batch ML model lifecycles is to train, deploy, monitor, repeat. What does the ongoing maintenance for a streaming ML model look like? Concept drift is typically due to a discrepancy between the data used to train a model and the actual data being observed. How does the use of online learning affect the incidence of drift? Can you describe how the River framework is implemented? How have the design and goals of the project changed since you started working on it? How do the internal representations of the model differ from batch learning to allow for incremental updates to the model state?In the documentation you note the use of Python dictionaries for state management and the flexibility offered by that choice. What are the benefits and potential pitfalls of that decision?Can you describe the process of using River to design, implement, and validate a streaming ML model? What are the operational requirements for deploying and serving the model once it has been developed? What are some of the challenges that users of River might run into if they are coming from a batch learning background?What are the most interesting, innovative, or unexpected ways that you have seen River used?What are the most interesting, unexpected, or challenging lessons that you have learned while working on River?When is River the wrong choice?What do you have planned for the future of River?

  • Declarative Machine Learning For High Performance Deep Learning Models With Predibase

    Declarative Machine Learning For High Performance Deep Learning Models With Predibase
    Dec 5 2022
    Preamble This is a cross-over episode from our new show The Machine Learning Podcast, the show about going from idea to production with machine learning. Summary Deep learning is a revolutionary category of machine learning that accelerates our ability to build powerful inference models. Along with that power comes a great deal of complexity in determining what neural architectures are best suited to a given task, engineering features, scaling computation, etc. Predibase is building on the successes of the Ludwig framework for declarative deep learning and Horovod for horizontally distributing model training. In this episode CTO and co-founder of Predibase, Travis Addair, explains how they are reducing the burden of model development even further with their managed service for declarative and low-code ML and how they are integrating with the growing ecosystem of solutions for the full ML lifecycle. Announcements Hello and welcome to Podcast.__init__, the podcast about Python and the people who make it great!When you’re ready to launch your next app or want to try a project you hear about on the show, you’ll need somewhere to deploy it, so take a look at our friends over at Linode. With their managed Kubernetes platform it’s easy to get started with the next generation of deployment and scaling, powered by the battle tested Linode platform, including simple pricing, node balancers, 40Gbit networking, dedicated CPU and GPU instances, and worldwide data centers.

And don’t forget to thank them for their continued support of this show!Your host is Tobias Macey and today I’m interviewing Travis Addair about Predibase, a low-code platform for building ML models in a declarative format Interview IntroductionHow did you get involved in machine learning?Can you describe what Predibase is and the story behind it?Who is your target audience and how does that focus influence your user experience and feature development priorities?How would you describe the semantic differences between your chosen terminology of "declarative ML" and the "autoML" nomenclature that many projects and products have adopted? Another platform that launched recently with a promise of "declarative ML" is Continual. How would you characterize your relative strengths? Can you describe how the Predibase platform is implemented? How have the design and goals of the product changed as you worked through the initial implementation and started working with early customers?The operational aspects of the ML lifecycle are still fairly nascent. How have you thought about the boundaries for your product to avoid getting drawn into scope creep while providing a happy path to delivery? Ludwig is a core element of your platform. What are the other capabilities that you are layering around and on top of it to build a differentiated product?In addition to the existing interfaces for Ludwig you created a new language in the form of PQL. What was the motivation for that decision? How did you approach the semantic and syntactic design of the dialect?What is your vision for PQL in the space of "declarative ML" that you are working to define? Can you describe the available workflows for an individual or team that is using Predibase for prototyping and validating an ML model? Once a model has been deemed satisfactory, what is the path to production? How are you approaching governance and sustainability of Ludwig and Horovod while balancing your reliance on them in Predibase?What are some of the notable investments/improvements that you have made in Ludwig during your work of building Predibase?What are the most interesting, innovative, or unexpected ways that you have seen Predibase used?What are the most interesting, unexpected, or challenging lessons that you have learned while working on Predibase?When is Predibase the wrong choice?What do you have planned for the future of Predibase?
