Machine Learning Youtube List

A fantastic resource providing an extensive list of freely available educational courses and videos in youtube related to various applied and theorietical topics in the machine learning space.

Data Management Trends 2022

This article provides great insights on key trends in the data management space, including growing trends on open source, cloud, SaaS, serverless, and more.

Ultimate Guide to Text Similarity

An extensive and comprehensive overview of different similarity metrics and texte embedding techniques with both practical and intuitive examples in python that can be implemented in real world NLP projects.

OpenTelemetry and Python

OpenTelemetry has been growing with the potential to become the future of instrumentation, which is growingly important in the MLOps space to ensure robust observability infrastructure and techniques can be used in production machine learning at scale.

Lessons Learned from 10y OSS

An insightful article sharing lessons learned and insights from building, extending and maintaining a successful and popular open sourcee project through various phases of the project lifecycle.

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!
