March Online Meeting: How to Reduce Scikit-Learn Training Time
This month, we'll have a talk from Michael Galarnyk of Anyscale about three ways to reduce the time it takes to do training for the popular Scikit-Learn machine learning library.

Talk Description
Scikit-Learn is an easy to use Python library for machine learning. However, sometimes scikit-learn models can take a long time to train. There are quite a few approaches to solving this problem like:
- Changing your optimization function (solver)
- Using different hyperparameter optimization techniques (grid search, random search, early stopping, etc)
- Parallelize or distribute your training with joblib and Ray
Attendees will learn about each approach, the advantages and disadvantages of each, and how to speed up their scikit-learn workflow.
