The Data + AI Summit happening this week had its origins as the Spark + AI Summit, but we thought it was important to expand the conference due to the convergence of data topics we’ve been seeing in the community. The Summit now covers all things data -- from data science and data engineering to data analytics and machine learning.
This year, we’re lucky to be joined by some of the leading innovators in the field of machine learning, such as Rajat Monga (co-creator of TensorFlow), Soumith Chintala (co-creator of PyTorch), Clément Delangue (co-creator of Hugging Face Transformers NLP), Matei Zaharia (co-creator of MLflow), Manasi Vartak (creator of ModelDB) and more.
In addition to these well-known creators, there are many other amazing practitioners joining Data + AI Summit to share their knowledge. Here’s some of the 200+ sessions at Data + AI Summit.
