Machine learning models can turn from asset to liability when faced with conditions not encountered in training data sets. Currently, most companies do not understand the need for operationalizing ML, or are struggling to deliver, observe and improve production of ML solutions. As ML matures from research to applied solutions, MLOps can be introduced to trace the data pipeline for improved overall model quality while accommodating for changing conditions and robust governance frameworks.

In this session you’ll explore:

• Challenges to deploying machine learning models and how to overcome them
• Mastering an adaptive governance framework to minimize risk and accommodate evolving regulatory compliance
• Capturing and quantifying value realized by implementing MLOps solutions

Data and analytics leader’s professional development journey has no finish line – nor does that of their data talent.
