Abstract: We explored the current state of Python serialization in the context of distributed computing. The challenging points addressed are: object-type support, speed and size, version ...

Many machine learning (ML) models are Python pickle files under the hood, and it makes sense. The use of pickling conserves memory, enables start-and-stop model training, and makes trained models ...
