Welcome to the March Cloudera Fast Forward Labs newsletter.

It’s been a busy month for us here in the virtual Fast Forward lab. Supporting our launch of Applied ML Prototypes (read more on the Cloudera blog: Change The Way You Do ML With Applied ML Prototypes), working on growing the team, and starting our first research cycle of 2021. More on that soon! We’re also excited to announce our latest hijinks:

Fast Forward Live!

On April 1st (no joke) at 9am PT/12pm ET/5pm BST we’re hosting our first ever live stream: Representation Learning for Software Engineers.

Good representations of data (e.g., text, images) are critical for solving many tasks (e.g., search or recommendations). But what exactly are representations, how can they be built and why are deep learning models useful? In this livestream, we will discuss these questions from a software engineering perspective and walk through a live example!

Since this is a livestream, there’s nowhere to register ahead of time. Just watch our social feeds and we’ll meet you there.


Our research engineers share what we’ve found interesting this month.
