Training Deep Learning Models with data in your Data Lake

Data Lake

Data lakes are popular because they provide a consolidated, centralized storage area for raw, unstructured, semi-structured, and structured data taken from multiple sources and lacking a predefined schema. They specialize in ingesting structured, semi-structured and unstructured data and provide mechanisms to easily ingest streaming data in addition to batch loads. Data lakes are open format so users avoid lock-in to a proprietary system like a data warehouse. They are also highly durable and low cost because of their ability to scale and leverage object storage.

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 data lakes 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 their data lake. Kaspian offers native connectors for the most popular data lakes. Just register your data lake as a 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.
