Machine Learning (ML) is at the helm of products. As products evolve with time, so is the necessity for ML to evolve. In 2010s, we saw DevOps culture take the forefront for engineering teams. 2020s will be all about MLOps.

MLOps stands for Machine Learning Operations. MLOps mainly focuses on workflows, thought processes and tools that are used in creating ML models, and their evolution over time. The workflows for ML at organizations are different as the problem space, maturity of teams and experience with ML tools are widely different.

MLOps relies on DataOps. DataOps is about Data operations, and helps define data and SLOs for data - how they are stored, managed and mutate over time - thereby providing the foundations for sound ML. The success and failure of ML models depends heavily on DataOps, where data is well-managed and brought into the system in a well thought out manner. ML and data processes have to evolve to provide insights into the reasons as to why certain models are not behaving as before.

Productionizing ML models is a challenge, but so is running experiments at scale. MLOps caters not only to scaling ML models in production, but also helps in providing guidelines and thought processes to support rapid prototyping and research for ML teams.

MLOps Conference 2021 edition

The 2021 edition is curated by Nischal HP, Director of Data at Scoutbee.

The conference covers the following themes:

  1. Machine Learning Operations
  2. Machine Learning in Production
  3. Privacy and Security in Machine Learning
  4. Tooling and frameworks in Machine Learning
  5. Economies of Machine Learning

Speakers from Doordash, Twilio, Scribble Data, Microsoft Research Labs India, Freshworks, Aampe, Myntra, Farfetch and other organizations will share their experiences and insights on the above topics.

Schedule: https://hasgeek.com/fifthelephant/mlops-conference/schedule

Who should participate in MLOps conference?

  1. Data/MLOps engineers who want to learn about state-of-the-art tools and techniques.
  2. Data scientists who want a deeper understanding of model deployment/governance.
  3. Architects who are building ML workflows that scale.
  4. Tech founders who are building products that require ML or building developer productivity products for ML.
  5. Product managers, who are seeking to learn about the process of building ML products.

Massively Multilingual Neural Language Models: The new hope and fear for low resource languages

Natural Language processing is undergoing a paradigm shift right now; the models today are ever more powerful, capable and accurate. Thus, it looks like we are close to achieving the holy grail of AI. However, these assertions are true only for a handful of the world’s languages which have enough language data to train powerful and large models. What about the rest of the languages? In this talk,… more

Story-telling as a method for building production-ready machine-learning systems

This presentation is about the essential but overlooked role storytelling plays in machine learning productionization. Although often assumed to be at best a tangential concern, machine learning systems only become successful through successfully building trust in the model, the data, and the system in which the model and data operate. That trust-building happens through storytelling. Most often,… more
