Hummingbird
MicrosoftHummingbird 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.

Capability
2 medium confidenceBanded on the category feature matrix as narrow kernel set or single-pass utility. Placed two bands below the tensorrt anchor, on a matrix that bands on how much of the model-to-hardware transformation pipeline a product performs, over how many inputs and targets.
