Re:Spark Summit Is Becoming the Spark and AI Summit on Monday December 18, 2017 @02:06PM (#15954361)
We do have dedicated categories for Machine Learning. I would like to think that Spark ML subsumes those workloads, and using Spark ML, one builds machine learning applications.

Inasmuch as its broadness, we wanted to expand the summit to include AI use cases. As you know AI -> ML -> DL in the broad sense. And the categories allow submissions along those topics.

Cheers Jules
