DIKU Talk by Dr. Kévin Allix: Before Machine-Learning: Storing, Reading, and Processing Data

Summary

Machine-Learning attracts a lot of attention, almost eclipsing the fundamental steps required to feed Machine-Learning with vast quantities of Data. In this lecture, we will cover several aspects of modern Data pipelines, including Data acquisition, Storage, Querying, and Representation. Each of these steps carry its very own difficulties, is supported by a wide variety of tools and methods, and requires practitioners to select the optimal trade-off for their applications. We will discuss some of these trade-offs, and put them in perspective with the many (*many*) tools that are part of the "Data" ecosystem.
