Accelerating Machine Learning with Wayfair’s Unified Data Platform
Introduction: Bridging Data and ML at Wayfair India
In a recent presentation to data experts, a speaker delved into Wayfair's strategic efforts to enhance machine learning (ML) workflows through advanced data engineering solutions. Although Wayfair primarily operates in the US, Canada, and Europe, it established a Technology Development Center (TDC) in India two years ago, now bustling with over 600 engineers contributing to global innovation. The focus of this initiative is to streamline data processes, notably to reduce the time ML scientists spend on feature engineering—crucial for building effective models.
