The pioneers' journey will be full of sidestepping, u-turns, and zigzags. No organization can exactly know where they'll end up, but we will help you to get there. Valohai developer core will keep all paths open, just in case you need to change course.

With Valohai, rapid experimentation, massive grid searches, complex multi-cloud pipelines, distributed learning clusters, and model deployment are all a single click (UI), a single command (CLI), or a single request (API) away and handled by the battle-hardened orchestration system.

Valohai integrates into your code repository, container repository, data storage, and compute resources - in the cloud and on-premise - orchestrating and recording their complex interplay. This way, the bookkeeping is fully ingrained into the machine learning workflow and something the pioneers don’t even need to think about conscientiously.

Web scraping and data gathering are vast topics. There is no single correct way to programmatically collect data from sources designed for human consumption. The right approach for web scraping depends on the context, and in this article, we focus on an early-stage ML project needing time series data.

Michael Vakulenko of JFrog and Juha Kiili of Valohai showcase the real-life example of creating a machine learning system that continuously improves itself through IoT.

What if I told you there is a simple, free, lightweight tool for weaponizing any CLI-based ML project. All the commands are nicely wrapped and accessible via shortcut aliases and only a TAB keypress away. This tool is easily installable and super robust for all operating systems! It is called Make.

Here are some tips and tricks for Jupyter notebook with step-by-step guides: from running shell commands to changing the notebook theme - easily!

There is absolutely nothing wrong with notebooks, and they are fantastic for many use-cases, but they are not the only option for writing programs. Too many get stuck in the vanilla notebook and do not realize what they are missing out on.

Almost any programming language in the world is more powerful than the command line. Why would you even bother doing anything on it? Don't be fooled: the modern command line is rocking like never before!

Syngenta is a leading provider of agricultural science and technology focused on seed and crop protection products aiming to improve global food security by enabling millions of farmers to make better use of available resources.

Docker isolates the software from all other things on the same system. A program running inside a "spacesuit" generally has no idea it is wearing one and is unaffected by anything happening outside.

Dependency management is the act of managing all the external pieces that your project relies on. It has the risk profile of a sewage system. When it works, you don't even know it's there, but when it fails, it becomes very painful and almost impossible to ignore.

Git is a tool most software developers have used daily for a decade, and with data scientists becoming an integral part of R&D teams, Git is every day for them as well. We've listed a few helpful tips on using Git for your ML work and avoiding the common pitfalls.

We’ve recently introduced two features that make building trusted and validated models easier: human validation steps and confusion matrices.

For the October product update, we chose to highlight a new feature, Remote Access Debugger, and some major improvements that we've shipped to the Metadata View.

Support for Spark has been one of the most requested features as Spark has become almost ubiquitous for data scientists and engineers working with structured data. We’ve heard the calls and Valohai now supports Spark natively.

Datum is a version-controlled file inside the Valohai platform. Every datum is immutable by design. We have introduced three new improvements for more flexibility over datums.

This article shows an example of a pipeline that integrates Valohai and Superb AI to train a computer vision model using pre-trained weights and transfer learning. For the model, we are using YOLOv3, which is built for real-time object detection.

It's time for an update on what's been happening under the hood of the Valohai platform. We'd like to highlight three major features we've added in the past two months: Support for Kubernetes and Spot instances and the Valohai Python utility library.

Computer vision is one of the most disruptive technologies of the recent decade. To develop computer vision systems requires massive, upfront investments. Or it used to, before Superb met Valohai.

In the past few months, we've rolled out three new features that highlight end-to-end automation on our platform: Deployment nodes in pipelines, Pipeline scheduler & Model monitoring.

Valohai MLOps platform provided the infrastructure for the Black-Box Optimization Challenge for the NeurIPS 2020 conference. The competition was organized together with Twitter, Facebook, SigOpt, ChaLearn, and 4paradigm.

Valohai is the enterprise-grade machine learning platform for data scientists that build custom models by hand. In addition to writing code with classic IDEs like PyCharm or VSCode, we also have native support for data scientists preferring to use Jupyter notebooks.

One of the hottest areas of application for deep learning is undoubtedly self-driving cars. We’ll go through the problem space, discuss its intricacies and build a self-driving solution utilizing the Unity game engine, training a neural network on top of the Valohai platform. Regardless of the technologies used, you’ll get an understanding of the basics as well as the code to tweak for yourself.

Valohai is a deep learning platform that helps you execute on-demand experiments in the cloud with full version control. Jupyter Notebook is a popular IDE for the data scientist. It is especially suited for early data exploration and prototyping.

Pointlessly staring at live logs and waiting for a miracle to happen is a huge time sink for data scientists everywhere. Instead, one should strive for an asynchronous workflow. In this article, we define asynchronous workflows, figure out some of the obstacles and finally guide you to a next article to look at a real-life example in action in Jupyter Notebooks.

Valohai executions can be triggered directly from the CLI and let you roll up your sleeves and fine-tune your options a bit more hands-on than our web-based UI. In part one, I showed you how to install and get started with Valohai’s command-line interface (CLI). Now, it’s time to take a deeper dive and power up with features that’ll take your daily productivity to new heights.

As new Valohai users get acquainted with the platform, many fall in love our web-based UI - and for good reason. Its responsive, intuitive and gets the job done with just a few clicks. But don’t be fooled into thinking that’s the end of the interface conversation. We know it takes different [key]strokes for different folks, so Valohai also includes a command-line interface (CLI) and the REST API.

One of the core design paradigms of Valohai is technology agnosticism. Building on top of the file system and in our case Docker means that we support running very different kinds of applications, scripts, languages and frameworks on top of Valohai. This means most systems are Valohai-ready because of these common abstractions. The same is true for TensorBoard as well.

Running a local notebook is great for early data exploration and model tinkering, there’s no doubt about it. But eventually you’ll outgrow it and want to scale up and train the model in the cloud with easy parallel executions, full version control and robust deployment. (Letting you reproduce your experiments and share them with team members at any time.)

In this third part, we will move our Q-learning approach from a Q-table to a deep neural net.

In this second part takes these examples, turns them into Python code and trains them in the cloud, using the Valohai deep learning management platform.

This is the first part of a tutorial series about reinforcement learning. We will start with some theory and then move on to more practical things in the next part. During this series, you will not only learn how to train your model, but also what is the best workflow for training it in the cloud with full version control using the Valohai deep learning management platform.

This tutorial will demonstrate how to take a single cell in a local Jupyter Notebook and run it in the cloud, using the Valohai platform and its command-line client (CLI).

PocketFlow is an open-source framework from Tencent to automatically compress and optimize deep learning models. Especially edge devices such as mobile phones or IoT devices can be very limited on computing resources so sacrificing a bit of model performance for a much smaller memory footprint and lower computational requirements is a smart tradeoff.
