Hummingbird

Microsoft

Hummingbird compiles trained traditional machine learning models - decision-tree ensembles, linear models and featurizers from scikit-learn, LightGBM and XGBoost - into tensor computations, so they execute on the same neural-network runtimes and hardware as deep models. Microsoft develops it.
