Summary

The text discusses using a platform called Bodo for machine learning practitioners to rapidly explore data and build complex pipelines. Bodo allows developers to scale their codes from laptops to its platform, making it easy to distribute data across processes. The example uses the 2019 NYC Yellow Cab trip record dataset, exploring the data, removing outliers, and computing descriptive statistics before building a regression model to predict taxi tips using features such as tolls_amount, trip_distance, and fare_amount. The code uses Bodo's parallel execution model, which distributes the data across processes for efficient computation. After training the model, it evaluates the performance with RMSE and R^2 scores, providing a first estimate of its quality. The text also mentions that Bodo provides an extensive API and supports many well-known packages to accommodate various machine learning pipelines.
