A Coding Guide to Build a Scalable End-to-End Analytics and Machine Learning Pipeline on Millions of Rows Using Vaex

ai, AI (Artificial Intelligence), Artificial Intelligence, Editors Pick, Machine Learning, Technology, Tutorials

In this tutorial, we design an end-to-end, production-style analytics and modeling pipeline using Vaex to operate efficiently on millions of rows without materializing data in memory. We generate a realistic, large-scale dataset, engineer rich behavioral and city-level features using lazy expressions and approximate statistics, and aggregate insights at scale. We then integrate Vaex with scikit-learn
