H2O Driverless AI is an artificial intelligence models
(AI) platform for automatic machine
learning. Driverless AI automates some
of the most difficult data science and
machine learning workflows such as
feature engineering, model validation,
model tuning, model selection and model
deployment. It aims to achieve highest
predictive accuracy, comparable to expert
data scientists, but in much shorter time
thanks to end-to-end automation. Driverless
AI also offers automatic visualizations and
machine learning interpretability (MLI).
Especially in regulated industries, model
transparency and explanation are just
as important as predictive performance.
Modeling pipelines (feature engineering and
models) are exported (in full fidelity, without
approximations) both as Python modules and
as pure Java standalone scoring artifacts.

optimized machine code at runtime using
the industry-standard LLVM compiler library.
Numba-compiled numerical algorithms
in Python can approach the speeds of C or
FORTRAN.
You don’t need to replace the Python
interpreter, run a separate compilation step,
or even have a C/C++ compiler installed. Just
apply one of the Numba decorators to your
Python function, and Numba does the rest.
Numba generates optimized machine code
from pure Python code using the LLVM
compiler infrastructure. With a few simple
annotations, array-oriented and math-heavy
Python code can be just-in-time optimized to
performance similar as C, C++ and Fortran,
without having to switch languages or Python
interpreters.
Numba is designed to be used with NumPy
arrays and functions. Numba generates
specialized code for different array data types
and layouts to optimize performance. Special
decorators can create universal functions
that broadcast over NumPy arrays just like
NumPy functions do.
Numba also works great with Jupyter
notebooks for interactive computing, and
with distributed execution frameworks,
like Dask and Spark. With support for GPU
acceleration, Numba lets you write parallel
GPU algorithms entirely from Python.

of Medicine broadly based greyscale scientific image programs, are written in the easy-to-learn Single Node
processing suite with a primary focus on Python scripting language. This permits
processing data from transmission electron knowledgeable end-users to customize any

but the suite now also offers support for
single particle cryo-ET, and tools useful in
many other subdisciplines such as helical
reconstruction, 2-D crystallography and
whole-cell tomography. Image processing
in a suite like EMAN differs from consumer
image processing packages like Photoshop
in that pixels in images are represented
as floating-point numbers rather than
small (8-16 bit) integers. In addition, image
compression is avoided entirely, and there is
a focus on quantitative analysis rather than
qualitative image display.

We demonstrate the success of HACC on
two very different machines, the CPU/GPU
