scale.bythebay.io: Functional Programming for Machine Learning Panel

ai.bythebay.io Nov 2025, Oakland, full-stack AI conference Scale By the Bay 2019 is held on November 13-15 in sunny Oakland, California, on the shores of Lake Merritt: https://scale.bythebay.io. Join us! ----- Functional Programming is the next frontier in Machine Learning. We see a tremendous uptick in using Scala, Haskell, Rust, and other FP languages for ML/AI, and we start learning best practices. How does FP help scale ML? What is it about the common proximity to math and physics that so many folks in the space share? How does FP help in designing, building, and deploying AI, whatever it will become? These are the topics of this panel, moderated by Vitaly Gordon, VP Data Engineering and Data Science, Salesorce Einstein, himself a hands-on FP+ML developer and speaker at both Scala and AI By the Bay.
