A Year Full of Amazing AI Papers

A fantastic effort bringing together key highlights from the world of AI research in 2021, providing an overview from top research highlights including intuitive summaries, videos and relevant links to learn more.

Model Monitoring Areas Overview

An overview of key metrics, attributes and concepts in the topic of monitoring in regards to machine learning models deployed in production.

Data Science for Infrastructure

An interesting Stanford MLSys Episode showcasing insights from applying data science into operational software infrastructure by Pixie CEO Zain Asgar.

Master Dataclasses in Python

This video series covers an in-depth overview of python dataclasses, showcasing the varying features and capabilities, best practices and applications.

Graph Neural Networks Overview

Graph Neural Networks are neural networks that operate on graph data. This article provides an in-depth introduction and overview on the intuition and concepts behind graph neural networks.

OSS: GPU Accel. Frameworks

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:

• 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!

OSS: Awesome AI Guidelines

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:

• AI & Machine Learning 8 principles for Responsible ML - The Institute for Ethical AI & Machine Learning has put together 8 principles for responsible machine learning that are to be adopted by individuals and delivery teams designing, building and operating machine learning systems
• An Evaluation of Guidelines - The Ethics of Ethics; A research paper that analyses multiple Ethics principles
• ACM’s Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct - This is the code of ethics that has been put together in 1992 by the Association for Computer Machinery and updated in 2018
• From What to How - An initial review of publicly available AI Ethics Tools, Methods and Research to translate principles into practices

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!
