As more and more companies turn to AI / ML / DL to unlock insight, AI has become this mythical word that adds unnecessary barriers to new adaptors. Oftentimes it was regarded as luxury for those big tech companies only – this should not be the case.
In this talk, Jingwen will first dissect the ML life cycle into five stages – starting from data collection, to data cleansing, model training, model validation, and end at model inference / deployment stages. For each stage, Jingwen will then go over its concept, functionality, characteristics, and use cases to demystify ML operations. Finally, Jingwen will showcase how Alluxio, a virtual data lake, could help simplify each stage.

Pratik Mishra delivered insights on architecting scalable, deployable, and resilient AI infrastructure at scale. His discussion on fault tolerance, checkpoint optimization, and the democratization of AI compute through AMD's open ecosystem resonated strongly with the challenges teams face in production ML deployments.
In this talk, Bin Fan, VP of Technology at Alluxio, presents on building tiered architectures that bring sub-millisecond latency to S3-based workloads. The comparison showing Alluxio's 45x performance improvement over S3 Standard and 5x over S3 Express One Zone demonstrated the critical role the performance & caching layer plays in modern AI infrastructure.
In this talk, Greg Lindstrom shared how Blackout Power Trading achieved double-digit millisecond offline feature store performance using Alluxio, a game-changer for real-time power trading where every millisecond counts. The 60x latency reduction for inference queries was particularly impressive.
