Deploying Machine Learning Models Successfully into Production

Chris Royles
Field CTO for EMEA, Cloudera

Talk Abstract

One question that keeps coming up when working with our customers is: What are our recommendations for best practices in implementing machine learning? The general response is, unfortunately – it depends. Machine learning operations (MLOps) is considered the next frontier for deploying fully automated, fully operational ML products and models that magically manage, monitor and update themselves.

However there is no standard or even a widely adopted framework for this and most enterprises are coming up with something that fits what they already have. In this talk I will go through the most common machine learning workflows that I see being implemented in the wild, what works, what doesn’t and why. The talk will also cover some of the new continuous development approaches to machine learning and how they differ from the software development equivalents.
