HUG Meetup Apr 2016: CaffeOnSpark: Distributed Deep Learning on Spark Clusters

Deep learning is a critical capability for gaining intelligence from datasets. Many existing frameworks require a separated cluster for deep learning, and multiple programs have to be created for a typical machine learning pipeline. The separated clusters require large datasets to be transferred between clusters, and introduce unwanted system complexity and latency for end-to-end learning. Yahoo introduced CaffeOnSpark to alleviate those pain points and bring deep learning onto Hadoop and Spark clusters. B
