Training PyTorch Models with Elasticsearch Data

Elasticsearch

Elasticsearch is a distributed, RESTful search and analytics engine that can be used to search all kinds of documents. It provides scalable search, has near real-time search, and supports multitenancy. Elasticsearch is popular because it's easy to use and has a lot of features. It's also open-source and has a large community of users. Elasticsearch is a NoSQL database because it doesn't use the traditional SQL relational database model. Instead, it uses a document-oriented model that allows for more flexibility and scalability.

PyTorch Models

PyTorch is a machine learning framework based on the Torch library, used for applications such as computer vision and natural language processing. It was originally developed by Meta AI and now part of the Linux Foundation umbrella. PyTorch is designed to provide good flexibility and high speeds for deep neural network implementation. PyTorch uses dynamic computation graphs which makes it different from other deep learning frameworks. It has become a popular choice for deep learning tasks such as computer vision, natural language processing, and speech recognition. PyTorch has gained popularity for its simplicity, ease of use, dynamic computational graph, efficient memory usage, flexibility, speed, native ONNX model exports, which can be used to speed up inference. It also shares many commands with numpy which reduces the barrier to learning it.

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