Hi! I’ve been working on this automatic scanner for ML models to detect issues like underperforming data slices, overconfidence in predictions, robustness problems, and others. It supports all main Python ML frameworks (sklearn, torch, xgboost, …) and integrates with the quality assurance solution we are building at Giskard AI (https://giskard.ai) to systematically test models before putting them in production.

It is still a beta and I would love to hear your feedback if you have the time to try it out.

We have quite a few tutorials in the docs with ready-made colab notebooks to make it easy to get started.

TileDB, Inc. | Full-Time | REMOTE | USA, Greece/EU | [https://tiledb.com](https://tiledb.com/)

TileDB has recently announced a $34 million Series B fund-raise and is actively hiring for engineers across a range of roles (SRE, backend/distributed systems, database internals, and more). You will have the opportunity to work on innovative technology that creates impact for challenging problems in genomics, geospatial, machine learning, distributed systems, and many other areas.

TileDB Cloud is the modern database, allowing developers and scientists to capture, analyze, and share any data with any tool. We build on a broad foundation of open source, maintaining the TileDB storage engine, libraries for genomics (single-cell and population), geospatial (raster, point clouds, and more), a TileDB visualization engine extending Babylon.js, and much more ([github.com/TileDB-Inc/TileDB](http://github.com/TileDB-Inc/TileDB))

With TileDB, all data — tables, genomics, images, videos, location, time-series — is captured as multi-dimensional arrays. To supercharge this data, TileDB Cloud implements a serverless infrastructure delivering query execution, access control, data and code sharing, and distributed computing at global scale — eliminating cluster management, minimizing TCO, and promoting scientific collaboration and reproducibility.

We are actively hiring for several roles including:

- Site Reliability Engineer (k8s, Terraform, automation, Prometheus, CloudWatch, GitOps; Golang, Python)

- single cell genomics: in collaboration with the Chan-Zuckerberg Initiative, we recently released TileDB-SOMA for single cell data, with APIs for both Python and R built around a common storage specification: https://tiledb.com/blog/tiledb-101-single-cell

With TileDB, all data — tables, genomics, images, videos, location, time-series — across multiple domains is captured as multi-dimensional arrays. TileDB Cloud implements a totally serverless infrastructure and delivers access control, easier data and code sharing and distributed computing at global scale, eliminating cluster management, minimizing TCO and promoting scientific collaboration and reproducibility.

Stavros from TileDB here (Founder and CEO). I thought of requesting some feedback from the community on this blog. It was only natural for a multi-dimensional array database like TileDB to offer vector (i.e., 1D array) search capabilities. But the team managed to do it very well and the results surprised us. We are just getting started in this domain and a lot of new algorithms and features are coming up, but the sooner we get feedback the better.

Interesting. Have you come across TileDB before?

Hi folks, Stavros from TileDB here. Here are my two cents on tabular data. TileDB (Embedded) is a very serious competitor to Parquet, the only other sane choice IMO when it comes to storing large volumes of tabular data (especially when combined with Arrow). Admittedly, we haven’t been advertising TileDB’s tabular capabilities, but that’s only because we were busy with much more challenging applications, such as genomics (population and single-cell), LiDAR, imaging and other very convoluted (from a data format perspective) domains.

Similar to Parquet:

* TileDB is columnar and comes with a lot of compressors, checksum and encryption filters.

* TileDB is built in C++ with multi-threading and vectorization in mind

* TileDB integrates with Arrow, using zero-copy techniques

* TileDB has numerous optimized APIs (C, C++, C#, Python, R, Java, Go)

* TileDB pushes compute down to storage, similar to what Arrow does

Better than Parquet:

* TileDB is multi-dimensional, allowing rapid multi-column conditions

* TileDB builds versioning and time-traveling into the format (no need for Delta Lake, Iceberg, etc)

* TileDB allows for lock-free parallel writes / parallel reads with ACID properties (no need for Delta Lake, Iceberg, etc)

* TileDB can handle more than tables, for example n-dimensional dense arrays (e.g., for imaging, video, etc)

Useful links:

* Github repo (https://github.com/TileDB-Inc/TileDB)

* TileDB Embedded overview (https://tiledb.com/products/tiledb-embedded/)

* Docs (https://docs.tiledb.com/)

* Webinar on why arrays as a universal data model (https://tiledb.com/blog/why-arrays-as-a-universal-data-model)

Happy to hear everyone’s thoughts.

It could be worth checking out TileDB: https://github.com/TileDB-Inc/TileDB The entire system, down to the data format itself, is optimized around storing multi-dimensional arrays. It also supports timestamps and real numbers as dimensions, which could be handy given your example data. [Full disclosure: I currently work for TileDB.]
