The next morning, we are part of the main scrum stand-up meeting, and a DevOps guy is assisting us. A strange feeling, unknown to us until then, starts growing on the AI team: we are useful!Deploying models to production is challenging, but MLOps is more than that. MLOps is about making an AI team useful and iterative from the beginning. And it requires a role that takes care of the technical challenges that this implies, given the experimental nature of the ML field, while also serving the product and business needs. If your AI team does not include this role, maybe it's your time to step up and do it yourself! Today, we will chat with Ale about the transition from being a data scientist to a self-called MLOps engineer. And yes, you'll need to study computer science.// Bio Ale was born and raised in a mid-sized town near Malaga in southern Spain. Ale did his bachelor's degree in robotics because it sounded cool, and then he got into machine learning because it was even cooler.Ale worked in two companies as an ML developer.

Data mesh is potentially a great win for ML/MLOps as there is very clear guidance on creating useful, clean, well-documented/described, and interoperable data for "unexpected use". So instead of data spelunking being a harrowing task, it can be a very fruitful one. And that one data set that was so awesome?Well, it wasn't a one-off; it's managed as a product with regular refreshes! And there is a LOT more ownership/responsibility on data producers to make sure the downstream doesn't break. Might sound like kumbaya for MLOps (or total BS?) re far cleaner data and fewer upstream breaks, so let's discuss the realities and limitations!// Bio A self-professed "chaotic (mostly) good character", Scott is focused on helping the data mesh community accelerate towards finding solutions for some of data management's hardest challenges. He founded the Data Mesh Learning community specifically to gather enough people to exchange ideas, much of which is patterned after the MLOps community.

But as machine learning products become more integral to our daily lives, the importance of rigorously testing model behavior will only increase.Current ML evaluation techniques are falling short in their attempts to describe the full picture of model performance. Evaluating ML models by only using global metrics (like accuracy or F1 score) produces a low-resolution picture of a model’s performance and fails to describe the model's performance across types of cases, attributes, and scenarios.It is rapidly becoming vital for ML teams to have a full understanding of when and how their models fail and to track these cases across different model versions to be able to identify regression. We’ve seen great results from teams implementing unit and functional testing techniques in their model testing. In this talk, we’ll cover why systematic unit testing is important and how to effectively test ML system behavior.// Bio Mohamed is the Co-founder & CEO of Kolena and the author of the book “Deep Learning for Vision Systems”.
