NVIDIA RAPIDS is an open-source suite of GPU-accelerated data science and AI libraries. It leverages CUDA and significantly enhances the performance of core Python frameworks including Polars, pandas, scikit-learn and NetworkX.
Chris Deotte is a Senior Data Scientist at NVIDIA and Jean-Francois Puget is the Director and a Distinguished Engineer at NVIDIA. Chris and Jean-Francois are also Kaggle Grandmasters, which is the highest rank a data scientist or machine learning practitioner can achieve on Kaggle, a competitive platform for data science challenges.
In this episode, they join the podcast with Sean Falconer to talk about Kaggle, GPU-acceleration for data science applications, where they’ve achieved the biggest performance gains, the unexpected challenges with tabular data, and much more.
