Trevor Grant
Trevor Grant is getting back into speaking at conferences after a hiatus from an otherwise prolific career that was put on pause during the pandemic. During his pause he became a father, published a book (Kubeflow for Machine Learning: From Lab to Production), had a second son, consulted for a while, went back to work for IBM Research, and became car free (this list is not ordered chronologically nor by significance). He has been putzing around generative AI since ~2017, and someday hopes to give a talk on his Star Trek Chat bots of 2018-2020. His primary open source interests at the moment is the qumat project of Apache Mahout, and the gofannon project of The AI Alliance
The AI Alliance
Session
In this talk we present current progress on Mahout's new quantum compute layer named Qumat. We will give an overview of the project, explain why we built Qumat, and show its current state. We will present a demo of Qumat in action, and end with calls to action for researchers and engineers interested in using it and contributing to the project.
