Event Description

Managing datasets can be a hassle - especially at a large scale. Especially for unstructured data, storing, accessing the data, and version-controlling it is hard. Davit Buniatyan, Activeloop CEO, has battled with managing petabyte-scale data during his time at the Princeton Neuroscience lab. In this meetup, he will cover the critical stack needed to resolve the biggest pains of dataset management. Moreover, he will present the open-source Hub package - that he is building to be the SQL for images.

After a brief brainstorming session, we will get hacking - improving our free dataset visualization tool (https://app.activeloop.ai/datasets/explore) and the open-source Hub package (the fastest way to access and manage datasets for PyTorch and TensorFlow).
