Machine Learning in the Cloud
The third wave of cloud computing is here and advancements in the field of machine learning are being made every day. In this era of ever-evolving technology, there are a plethora of resources available to machine learning practitioners for handling their data and models. In this talk, we will focus on training and deployment of machine learning models in the cloud, in particular, Google Cloud Platform. We will touch upon the use of Google Cloud Machine Learning Engine and the workflow associated with the product. Throughout the talk, we will go from writing TensorFlow code to uploading the code to the cloud for training and to deploying the trained model.
