Abstract: 

Open-source software is at the foundation of machine learning and there are numerous projects supporting various parts of machine learning lifecycle - from building to deploying and managing models. Join us to learn how Microsoft is investing across open source projects - both by starting new projects, like ONNX Runtime, InterpretML and FairLearn as well as contributing to existing projects, such as ONNX, DeepSpeed, and PyTorch. We'll also deep dive into some of our most recent work with PyTorch and share how organizations are using PyTorch on Azure to drive innovation.
