Schedule

Despite growing teams and budgets, very few machine learning models reach the production stage. This session discussed:

  1. What is model productionization? What makes it difficult?
  2. How does it relate to MLOps?
  3. How should one plan for production ML?
  4. What kinds of systems and process should be in place for ensuring successful delivery?
  5. What does the team structure and skillset look like?

Panelists:

  1. Aditya Patel, Director, Data Science of Glance (InMobi; Bangalore)
  2. Nischal HP @nischalhp, VP of Technology, Omnius (Berlin).

Takeaways

  1. Uncertainty cannot be eliminated in the performance of the model. So extensive testing, circuit breakers, fallback mechanisms, and incremental deployment mechanisms are critical.
  2. ML development and deployment should be thought about within the context of the product development.
  3. Many of the systems, methods and ideas are applicable here including versioning but need to be repurposed to suit the context
