Accelerating NLP Pipelines with Hardware-Software synergies
We would like to look at a broader view of what it takes to accelerate NLP pipelines beyond just largest and fastest model architectures. This includes a deeper look at hardware, cloud and software ecosystem, language and industry-specific datasets, and MLOps. In this hands-on workshop, we will take a look under the hood of our Intelligent Processing Unit using PopVision tools to see how architecture enables the development of latest AI models to run efficiently on massively parallel platform, and how the rest of the development ecosystem enables getting NLP solutions into real world applications.
