Scaling Machine Learning with Dask
Scaling Machine Learning with Dask

Abstract: 

In this talk, attendees will get an introduction to Dask, a distributed computing framework in the PyData ecosystem.

The first half of the talk will describe the current state of the project and its ecosystem including distributed data collections, cloud deployment options, distributed machine learning projects, and workflow orchestration.

The second half of the talk will be a live demo showing the programming model for machine learning on Dask. Dask's potential for speeding up machine learning workflows will be demonstrated with an intermediate-level tutorial on training XGBoost and LightGBM models with Dask.
