Thomas J. Fan - Scikit-learn on GPUs with Array API | PyData NYC 2023

Scikit-learn was traditionally built and designed to run machine learning algorithms on CPUs using NumPy arrays. In version 1.3, scikit-learn can now run a subset of its functionality with other array libraries, such as CuPy and PyTorch, using the Array API standard. By adopting the standard, scikit-learn can now operate on accelerators such as GPUs. In this talk, we learn about scikit-learn's API for enabling the feature and the benefits and challenges of adopting the Array API standard.

PyData is an educational program of NumFOCUS, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization in the United States. PyData provides a forum for the international community of users and developers of data analysis tools to share ideas and learn from each other. The global PyData network promotes discussion of best practices, new approaches, and emerging technologies for data management, processing, analytics, and visualization. PyData communities approach data science using many languages, including (but not limited to) Python, Julia, and R.

PyData conferences aim to be accessible and community-driven, with novice to advanced level presentations. PyData tutorials and talks bring attendees the latest project features along with cutting-edge use cases.
