"I think it's interesting to note also this idea that we were talking about, and hopefully it grows more and more around the community asking these questions," he says. "Maybe that's a pipe dream, maybe we will see it in the next five years or ten." He concludes by saying: 'It was my pleasure talking to both of you'
MLOps Coffee Sessions #93 with Krishnaram Kenthapadi, Model Monitoring in Practice: Top Trends, co-hosted by Mihail Eric.
// Abstract
We first motivate the need for ML model monitoring, as part of a broader AI model governance and responsible AI framework, and provide a roadmap for thinking about model monitoring in practice.
We then present findings and insights on model monitoring in practice based on interviews with various ML practitioners spanning domains such as financial services, healthcare, hiring, online retail, computational advertising, and conversational assistants.
// Bio
Krishnaram Kenthapadi is the Chief Scientist of Fiddler AI, an enterprise startup building a responsible AI and ML monitoring platform. Previously, he was a Principal Scientist at Amazon AWS AI, where he led the fairness, explainability, privacy, and model understanding initiatives in the Amazon AI platform. Prior to joining Amazon, he led similar efforts at the LinkedIn AI team and served as LinkedIn’s representative on Microsoft’s AI and Ethics in Engineering and Research (AETHER) Advisory Board. Previously, he was a Researcher at Microsoft Research Silicon Valley Lab. Krishnaram received his Ph.D. in Computer Science from Stanford University in 2006. He serves regularly on the program committees of KDD, WWW, WSDM, and related conferences, and co-chaired the 2014 ACM Symposium on Computing for Development. His work has been recognized through awards at NAACL, WWW, SODA, CIKM, ICML AutoML workshop, and Microsoft’s AI/ML conference (MLADS). He has published 50+ papers, with 4500+ citations and filed 150+ patents (70 granted). He has presented tutorials on privacy, fairness, explainable AI, and responsible AI at forums such as KDD ’18 ’19, WSDM ’19, WWW ’19 ’20 '21, FAccT ’20 '21, AAAI ’20 '21, and ICML '21.
