Very large-scale distributed deep learning on BigDL

Implementing AI

Location: Imperial B

Level: Intermediate

Secondary topics:  Data science and AI, Deep learning, Tools and frameworks
Jason Dai (Intel), Ding Ding (Intel)

BigDL is an open source distributed deep learning framework built for Big Data platform. By leveraging the cluster distribution capabilities in Apache Spark, BigDL successfully unleashes the power of large-scale distributed training in deep learning which not only has good performance and ability to efficiently scale on large clusters but also has good convergence result.
