Fantastic compilation of research papers that are worth reading at least once - this list covers a broad range of topics, from computer science foundations, to algorithms, to databases, and more.
 
 
 
O'Reilly's Mike Loukides has put together a comprehensive overview of trends to watch in 2021, extending to AI, Data, Programming, Robotics, Materials, Hardware, Security, Operations, Web, Mobile and VR.
 
 
 
Really interesting interactive resource that explains and provides an intuition on language models and their internals, encompassing the underlying learnings, as well as what the models have not captured.
 
 
 
Tech Ninja has put together a list of Top Open Source MLOps tools and frameworks that machine learning practitioners can add to their stack to take their production machine learning to the next level.
 
 
 
An interesting case study from a real life customer application, where various configurations of TorchServe are explored to identify performance differences across multiple platforms.
 
 
 
 
 
The topic for this week's featured production machine learning libraries is GPU Acceleration Frameworks. We are currently looking for more libraries to add - if you know of any that are not listed, please let us know or feel free to add a PR. The four featured libraries this week are:
 
  • Vulkan Kompute - Blazing fast, lightweight and mobile phone-enabled GPU compute framework optimized for advanced  data processing usecases.
  • CuPy - An implementation of NumPy-compatible multi-dimensional array on CUDA. CuPy consists of the core multi-dimensional array class, cupy.ndarray, and many functions on it.
  • Jax - Composable transformations of Python+NumPy programs: differentiate, vectorize, JIT to GPU/TPU, and more
  • CuDF - Built based on the Apache Arrow columnar memory format, cuDF is a GPU DataFrame library for loading, joining, aggregating, filtering, and otherwise manipulating data.
 
If you know of any libraries that are not in the "Awesome MLOps" list, please do give us a heads up or feel free to add a pull request
 
 
 
 
As AI systems become more prevalent in society, we face bigger and tougher societal challenges. We have seen a large number of resources that aim to takle these challenges in the form of AI Guidelines, Principles, Ethics Frameworks, etc, however there are so many resources it is hard to navigate. Because of this we started an Open Source initiative that aims to map the ecosystem to make it simpler to navigate. You can find multiple principles in the repo - some examples include the following:
 
 
If you know of any guidelines that are not in the "Awesome AI Guidelines" list, please do give us a heads up or feel free to add a pull request!
