报告摘要：In this talk, I will introduce the lessons we learned in DMLC to develop large-scale (deep) machine learning toolkits. Specifically, I will discuss how the problem of building such system can be decomposed into small essential parts, and how these parts can combined together to make the entire code-base more concise, flexible and fast. This talk will cover the topics on tensor expression, parameter server synchronization and operation scheduling. I will also briefly talk about distributed data loading API if time permits.
