Upcoming Webinars:
CPUs vs GPUs for Your End-to-End Data Science Workflows
Thu, Jul 28, 2022 12:00 PM — 1:00 PM EDT
We know that model training and inference are faster on GPU, but the slowest, most draining part of a data scientist’s typical day is processing data into the structure the model requires. Can GPUs help us with this challenge as well? To answer this question, we’ll compare cycles per second and costs of CPU vs GPU, look at speed gains with the Rapids.ai framework, and calculate ROI as our AI/ML models scale. Join us as we lay out the compelling case for why you should be using GPUs for your end-to-end data science workflows, including ETL jobs.
PyTorch on Azure: An optimized container for large-scale distributed training workloads
Thu, Aug 4, 2022 12:00 PM — 1:00 PM EDT
In this talk, we discuss the contents of the PyTorch on Azure container and share the results seen by early adopters. In addition, we will show demos of how you can get started with the container and how to use the Microsoft acceleration technologies it comes with.
Applying Interactive Weak Supervision to NLP Tasks
Tue, Aug 9, 2022 12:00 PM — 1:00 PM EDT
In this tutorial, we’ll first build a basic weakly supervised system for an NLP task, and then augment it with some of these generative techniques to speed up the iterative process.
