Vladimir Shulyak / Anton Kiselev: "Tensorflow – for those who don't have a TPU at their disposal"
Description
Tensorflow – for those who don't have a TPU at their disposal
* Target audience: engineers interested in predictive modelling.
* We'll talk about the real data science, how it is done in the wild. We'll take a popular churn prediction task as a poster child.
* There are many ways to approach this problem, but we consider some lovely tools with python API: PySpark, TensorFlow and some others. We'll demonstrate that they can be useful with such a standard problem.
* We'll provide a description of the end solution, pointing out all the tradeoffs we made on the way.
* In addition, we'll talk about the performance of training on different hardware configurations (CPU, GPU, single machine, multiple machines).
