Presentation: Scaling Emerging AI Applications with Ray
Share this on:
Abstract
The next generation of AI applications will continuously interact with the environment and learn from these interactions. To develop these applications, data scientists and engineers will need to seamlessly scale their work from running interactively to production clusters. In this talk, I’ll cover some major open source AI + Data Science libraries my collaborators and I at the RISELab have been working on.
At a high level, I’ll talk about my work on the following: Ray, a distributed execution framework for emerging AI applications; Tune, a scalable hyperparameter optimization framework for reinforcement learning and deep learning; RLlib, an open-source library for reinforcement learning that offers both a collection of reference algorithms and scalable primitives for composing new ones; and Modin, an open-source dataframe library for scaling pandas workflows by changing one line of code.
