Accelerate Your Machine Learning Experimentation With Automatic Checkpoints Using FLOR - Episode 362

May 2, 2022 Tobias Macey Comments Off on Accelerate Your Machine Learning Experimentation With Automatic Checkpoints Using FLOR - Episode 362

The experimentation phase of building a machine learning model requires a lot of trial and error. One of the limiting factors of how many experiments you can try is the length of time required to train the model which can be on the order of days or weeks. To reduce the time required to test different iterations Rolando Garcia Sanchez created FLOR which is a library that automatically checkpoints training epochs and instruments your code so that you can bypass early training cycles when you want to explore a different path in your algorithm.
