First-ever scalable, distributed deep learning architecture using Spark and Tachyon

At Strata Hadoop World New York 2015 Christopher Nguyen, Vu Pham, Michael Bui Adatao, Inc. Deep learning algorithms have been widely used in many real-world applications, including computer vision, machine translation, and fraud detection. Unfortunately, deep learning only works best when the model is big and trained on large-scale datasets. Meanwhile, distributed computing platforms like Spark are designed to handle big data, and have been used extensively. By having deep learning available on Spark, b
