What Next? Entering the World of Machine Learning

We continue our series of features on the steps to take before launching a machine learning startup. The complete report, available here, covers how to get started, choose a framework, decide what applications and machine learning technology to use, and more. This post also provides a variety of resources to employ when first exploring machine learning. 

At this point, there’s a good chance that you’re beginning to feel more comfortable with deep learning and what it can do, but are still unsure as to where to go from here. Some of the many questions we’ve addressed in this report don’t have simple answers. And whether you’re currently planning to paddle in the waters of deep learning, or dive right in, it’s important to remember that there is a steady ow of new tools, algorithms and techniques that can all potentially impact what you’re trying to achieve. This is why the many resources of the community are worth exploring and ultimately interacting with.

Here are a few key places to get you started:

Dell EMC HPC Community

With a vision of fostering ‘sustained discussions among experts that lead to the design, deployment, operation, and usage of the most effective HPC solutions, the Dell EMC HPC Community is a worldwide technical forum. Within it, members share their insights, suggestions, experiences and more, and work together to push the boundaries of HPC innovation.

The valuable information this community provides on events, presentations and videos, as well as links to white papers on a vast array of topics, can all help ensure you can fully leverage the deep learning potential.

The line between HPC and big data has blurred, and these growing data sets coupled with the technologies capable of analyzing them is allowing deep learning to thrive. In essence, the valuable information this community provides on events, presentations and videos, as well as links to white papers on a vast array of topics, can all help ensure you can fully leverage the deep learning potential.

Dell EMC Machine Learning Knowledge Center

Dell EMC has created a haven where thought leaders and industry experts can gather to share their expertise and offer guidance to anyone who’s keen to take advantage of deep learning. This community resource includes everything from expert commentary to technical blogs, and news from around the Web. It’s helpful that resources and connections to the community are easy to find.

Dell EMC TechCenter

By joining the Dell EMC TechCenter, IT professionals can connect with Dell EMC customers, employees, partners and each other, to maintain best practices and share knowledge. Part of the broader Dell EMC community, the TechCenter includes the latest news, wikis, videos and events. Live Tech Chats with Dell EMC experts take place on Tuesdays at 3PM central, and cover a wide range of subjects. The support forums are particularly active, too, so you rarely have long to wait to find what you’re looking for.
