![[Uber Open Summit 2018] Pyro: Deep Probabilistic Programming
Pyro is a deep probabilistic programming language built on PyTorch, a GPU-accelerated deep learning framework. Developed at Uber AI Labs by Noah Goodman and team, Pyro is used as a platform for research in modern Bayesian machine learning, where deep neural networks can be used both in models and in inference. To scale to large datasets and high-dimensional models, Pyro uses stochastic variational inference algorithms and probability distributions built on top of PyTorch. The Pyro team works closely with the PyTorch team and many open source collaborators to create a rich, stable toolset for probabilistic machine learning research. During this Uber Open Summit 2018 tech talk, AI Labs JP Chen and Fritz Obermeyer discuss how to use this tool and contribute to Pyros growing open source AI ecosystem.

![[Uber Open Summit 2018] Scaling Ubers Big Data Platform
Uber’s mission is to ignite opportunities by setting the world in motion. To fulfill this mission, Uber relies heavily on making data-driven decisions in every product area and we need to store and process an ever-increasing amount of data, in addition to providing faster, more reliable, and more-performant access. This talk will reflect on the challenges faced with scaling Uber’s Big Data Platform to ingest, store, and serve 100+ PB of data with minute level latency while efficiently utilizing our hardware.
Presenters:
Abhi Khune, Engineering Director at Uber: Abhi leads the Big Data team at Uber. His team is responsible for ingesting, storing, processing and surfacing data and insights for all of Uber’s diverse data analytics and ML requirements. Abhi is a software engineer at heart and has over 15 years of management and leadership experience.
Reza Shiftehfar, Engineering Manager at Uber: Reza Shiftehfar leads Uber’s Hadoop Platform team. His team helps build and grow Uber’s reliable and scalable Big Data platform that serves petabytes of data utilizing technologies such as Apache Hadoop, Apache Hive, Apache Kafka, Apache Spark, and Presto. Reza is one of the founding engineers of Uber’s data team and helped scale Ubers data platform from a few terabytes to over 100 petabytes while reducing data latency from 24+ hours to minutes.
