An open source platform for training deep learning models

In this episode of the Data Exchange I speak with Evan Sparks, cofounder and CEO of Determined AI, a startup that recently open sourced a platform for training deep learning models.  Many of the impressive results and applications of deep learning have happened at a handful of companies and research groups. As more companies use deep learning they are learning that infrastructure for training and transfer learning isn’t widely available.

Our conversation focused on deep learning and other topics including:

• Their decision to open source the Determined Training Platform (DTP).
• Enterprise use cases and applications of deep learning, and why Evan thinks more companies will need a platform for training DL models.
• The components that come with the DTP:  Distributed Training and Hyperparameter Tuning, Experiment Tracking and tools for collaboration and governance, Scheduler specialized for DL workflows, and more.
• Some examples of how teams have been using DTP.

Detailed show notes, including a full transcript, can be found on The Data Exchange web site.
