AI Analytics Part 3: Walk through the Steps to Optimize End-to-End Machine Learning Workflows

In This Series:

AI Analytics Part 1: Optimize End-to-End Data Science and Machine Learning Acceleration

AI Analytics Part 2: Enhance Deep Learning Workloads on 3rd Generation Intel® Xeon® Scalable Processors

This final episode of the three-part series shifts to hands-on, with presenters demonstrating the steps needed to perform key machine learning, end-to-end workflows using AI Tools.

Topics covered:

• Highlight optimizations in key workflow components running on Intel architecture, including:
  • Intel’s integration of the OmniSciDB engine for Modin*—A library that helps speed pandas workflows by changing a single line of code.
  • XGBoost—An optimized, distributed, gradient-boosting library that implements machine learning algorithms under the gradient-boosting framework.
  • Intel’s optimized implementation of scikit-learn*—A library of simple, efficient tools for predictive data analysis through the daal4py library.
• Show the ease of use of AI Tools and its comprehensive nature as an enterprise analytics solution.
• Demonstrate how to quickly test performance with a prebuilt and externally available Jupyter* Notebook.
