Redefining Robotics: Next Generation Warehouses

Accelerate AI Conferences Machine Learning robotics West 2018posted by Elizabeth Wallace, ODSC August 7, 2019

People picture robots changing to look more like humans, but in reality, the evolution of robotics involves things you can’t actually see. For Bastiane Huang at Osaro, the development of robots means greater advances in autonomy. Building brains for robots gives them more flexibility for tasks and creates more... Read more

Recognize Class Imbalance with Baselines and Better Metrics

Conferences Machine Learning Modeling ODSC Speaker Class imbalance West 2019posted by Samuel Taylor August 6, 2019

Editor’s Note: Samuel is speaking at ODSC West 2019, see his talk “Help! My Classes are Imbalanced” there. In my first machine learning course as an undergrad, I built a recommender system. Using a dataset from a social music website, I created a model to predict whether a given... Read more

NVIDIA GPUs and Apache Spark, One Step Closer

Machine Learning Machine Learningposted by RAPIDS August 2, 2019

While RAPIDS started with a Python API focus, there are many who want to enjoy the same NVIDIA GPU acceleration in Apache Spark; in fact, we have many at NVIDIA. When RAPIDS first launched, we had a plan to accelerate Apache Spark as well as Dask, and we want to share some major accomplishments we’ve... Read more

Bias Variance Decompositions using XGBoost

Guest contributor Machine Learning Modeling bias varianceposted by RAPIDS August 1, 2019

This blog dives into a theoretical machine learning concept called the bias-variance decomposition. This decomposition is a method which examines the expected generalization error for a given learning algorithm and a given data source. This helps us understand questions like: – How can I achieve higher accuracy with my... Read more

Taking Your Machine Learning from 0 to 10

Accelerate AI Conferences Machine Learning Machine Learning West 2018posted by Elizabeth Wallace, ODSC July 30, 2019

Madhura Dudhgaonkar is the senior director of Machine Learning at Workday Inc. She believes that it’s possible to deploy machine learning within your enterprise, but it takes a few steps to get exactly right. She loves to get into unknowns and things we haven’t tried yet, but let’s look... Read more

When Less is More: A Brief Story About Feature Engineering with XGBoost

Machine Learning Machine Learning rapidsposted by RAPIDS July 25, 2019

I played a minor role launching RAPIDS on Google Dataproc by refining a model that predicts taxi fare in New York City. Geographic location of passenger pick-ups and drops-offs were columns in the data. These are recorded as longitude and latitude measurements, with precision to many decimal places. One of the...
