Model Training
Accelerators:
CPU
Distributed Training:No
Model Inference
Inference Accelerators:
CPU
Deployment Targets:server, edge
Quantization:ONNX float32/int8 via skl2onnx
What It Does
- +Broad suite of classical ML algorithms (SVM, Random Forests, Ridge, k-means)
- +Standardized fit/transform/predict API across all estimators
- +Cross-validation and hyperparameter search pipelines
What It Does Not Do
- -Natively compute on GPUs or TPUs
- -Train deep neural networks or transformers
- -Scale out-of-core past single-node RAM without dask-ml
>Suitable Work Types
- Baseline tabular modeling
- Small-to-medium dataset classification and regression
- Customer churn and credit scoring prototypes
>Unsuitable Work Types
- Multi-GPU distributed training
- Unstructured raw video/audio deep representation learning
Data Residency Implications
In-process memory only.
Security Considerations
Never unpickle models from untrusted sources.
Operational Profile & Known Limitations
Maturity:mature
Learning Curve:low
Ops Complexity:low
Cost Tier:free-oss
> Known Limitations:
- Does not support GPU training or inference natively.
- Single-node in-memory execution; cannot scale past physical RAM.
