Efficient and easy data loading still remains a challenge for large-scale deep learning. As a team of DL practitioners and researchers, we've experienced many of these issues first-hand. In this talk, we'll dig into some of our pain points, share learnings we had along the way and explain why, in the end, we decided to build our own solution to the issues we faced. Our open-source library enables ML teams to share, load, and transform data in a collaborative, flexible, and efficient way. We explain how data and GPU stall can be avoided, while reducing the costs and maintaining the flexibility for deep learning research.
