ML impossible: train a 1 billion sample model in 5 minutes with vaex and scikit-learn on your…

"Data is the new oil." Regardless of whether or not you agree with this statement, the race for gathering and exploiting data has been going on for a while now. In fact, one thing the tech giants of today have in common, is their capacity to fully exploit the enormous quantity of data they gather. They have the knowledge, manpower, and resources to analyse billions of data points, train and deploy a variety of machine learning models at scale, which then impacts countless people across our planet. Creating even a simple machine learning service is a non-trivial task.
