RustConf 2016 - The /r/playrust Classifier: Real World Rust Data Science by Suchin Gururangan & Colin O’Brien Modern machine learning systems require scalable, real-time processing to analyze massive datasets. Rust is an attractive tool to help drive low-cost, high performance data science. But what’s it like to use Rust to solve machine learning problems in practice? To evaluate Rust as a foundation for machine learning services, we built a classification system, entirely in Rust, that detects /r/playrust
