Training Deep Learning Models with Azure ABS Data

Azure ABS

Azure Data Lake Storage is primarily designed to work with Hadoop and all frameworks that use the Hadoop FileSystem as their data access layer (for example, Spark and Presto). It is a massively scalable, secure data lake functionality built on Azure Blob Storage which is designed for big data analytics and offers a hierarchical file system.

Deep Learning Models

Deep learning (DL) is a subset of machine learning that uses neural networks with three or more layers to simulate the behavior of the human brain. Deep learning models are popular because they can learn from large amounts of data and perform tasks that would normally require human intelligence to complete. Deep learning models include convolutional neural networks (CNNs), recurrent neural networks (RNNs), long short-term memory networks (LSTMs), restricted Boltzmann machines (RBMs), autoencoders, generative adversarial networks (GANs), residual neural networks (ResNets), self-organizing maps (SOMs), deep belief networks (DBNs), and multilayer perceptrons (MLPs).

With the growing popularity of both Azure ABS for storage and deep learning models for AI deployments, it is unsurprising that many organizations are seeking to train deep learning models using data in Azure ABS. Kaspian offers native connectors for this operation. Just register your Azure ABS datastore and link your model training job; Kaspian's autoscaling compute layer makes it easy to train and deploy deep learning models using any data in your cloud with minimal setup or management.
