Feature stores are becoming an important component in any ML/AI architecture today. What is a feature store? – In a nutshell, the feature store allows you to build and manage the features for your training phase (offline feature store) and inference phase (online feature store) to ensure the highest model quality. In recent months, more and more companies have chosen Redis to be their online feature store. In this session, you will learn about the importance of the feature store in your ML/AI stack, and how you can better leverage Redis and Redis Enterprise to improve the quality of your models and accelerate your AI/ML inferencing.
