BigQuery ML reduces data to AI barrier by making it easy to manage the end-to-end lifecycle from exploration to operationalizing ML models using SQL.

It’s no secret that advancements like AI and machine learning (ML) can have a major impact on business operations. In Cloudera’s recent report Limitless: The Positive Power of AI, we found that 87% of business decision makers are achieving success through existing ML programs. Among the top benefits of ML, 59% of decision makers cite time savings, 54% cite cost savings, and 42% believe ML enables employees to focus on innovation as opposed to manual tasks.

Most commonly, data teams have worked with structured data. Unstructured data, which includes images, documents, and videos, will account for up to 80 percent of data by 2025. However, organizations currently use only a small percentage of this data to derive useful insights. One of main ways to extract value from unstructured data is by applying ML to the data.

In this blog post, we’ll be taking a closer look at Hyper-Datasets, which are essentially a supercharged version of Clear-ML Data.

With the Apache Spark 3.1 release in early 2021, the Spark on Kubernetes project has been production-ready for a few years. Spark on Kubernetes has become the new standard for deploying Spark. In the Iguazio MLOps platform, we built the Spark Operator into the platform to make the deployment of Spark Operator much simpler.

Deploying models is becoming easier every day, especially thanks to excellent tutorials like Transformers-Deploy. It talks about how to convert and optimize a Huggingface model and deploy it on the Nvidia Triton inference engine. Nvidia Triton is an exceptionally fast and solid tool and should be very high on the list when searching for ways to deploy a model. Our developers know this, of course, so ClearML Serving uses Nvidia Triton on the backend if a model needs GPU acceleration.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is quite powerful and is constantly evolving and currently knows no bounds. It is focused on outperforming its limits using the power of Machine Learning (ML). AI is empowering computers to do things that human beings are unable to do efficiently and effectively and machine learning is aiding the computers to do so by breaking the rules of traditional programming.

It has been months ago when Toloka and ClearML met together to create this joint project. Our goal was to showcase to other ML practitioners how to first gather data and then version and manage data before it is fed to an ML model. We believe that following those best practices will help others build better and more robust AI solutions. If you are curious, have a look at the project we have created together.

Tell us if this sounds familiar. You’ve found an awesome data set that you think will allow you to train a machine learning (ML) model that will accomplish the project goals; the only problem is the data is too big to fit in the compute environment that you’re using. In the day and age of “big data,” most might think this issue is trivial, but like anything in the world of data science things are hardly ever as straightforward as they seem.

Every organization wants to identify the right sales leads at the right time to optimize conversions. Lead scoring is a popular method for ranking prospects through an assessment of perceived value and sales-readiness. Scores are used to determine the order in which high-value leads are contacted, thus ensuring the best use of a salesperson’s time. Of course, lead scoring is only as good as the information supplied.
