Publication number: 20230229735Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, non-transitory computer-readable media, and methods that implement a pre-defined model container workflow allowing computing devices to flexibly and efficiently define, train, deploy, and maintain machine-learning models. For instance, the disclosed systems can provide scaffolding and boilerplate code for machine-learning models. To illustrate, boilerplate code can include predetermined designs of base classes for common use cases like training, batch inference, etc. In addition, the scaffolding provides an opinionated directory structure for organizing code of a machine-learning model. Further, the disclosed systems can provide containerization and various tooling (e.g., command interface tooling, platform upgrade tooling, and model repository management tooling). Additionally, the disclosed systems can provide out of the box compatibility with one or more different compute instances for increased flexibility and cross-system integration.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 18, 2022Publication date: July 20, 2023Inventors: Akshay Jain, Frank Teoh, Greg Tobkin, Michael Tompkins, Peeyush Agarwal, Sashidhar Guntury, Yunfan Zhong
