MLOps and Optimizing ML Operations: Learning from Those Who Have Been There

Webinar Speaker: Fern Halper, TDWI VP Research, Senior Research Director for Advanced Analytics

Date: Thursday, October 7, 2021

Time: 9:00 a.m. PT, 12:00 p.m. ET

As organizations grow in analytics maturity, they often look to expand their analytics arsenal to include machine learning models. Machine learning—where systems analyze data in order to learn from it and improve their own performance with minimal human intervention—is becoming part of the analytics fabric of many organizations as its competitive value becomes understood. According to TDWI research, machine learning is already mainstream and demand is growing.

Although organizations spend a lot of time thinking about building machine learning models, they often spend less time thinking about how they are going to deploy and manage these models in production. This includes issues such as data engineering and model registration, versioning, training, deployment, monitoring, and governance. It includes organizational issues, as well, given that data scientists don’t want to be responsible for model management (nor can they be as models begin to scale). This is where ML Operations (MLOps) comes in.

What does it take to succeed with MLOps? Join TDWI’s VP of Research Fern Halper as she hosts a roundtable with Otis Elevator, Standard Chartered Bank, and representatives from LTI to discuss the MLOps journey and best practices for success.

Topics include:

  • Business benefits of MLOps
  • When MLOps becomes necessary
  • Technologies needed for optimizing MLOps
  • Organizational strategies for MLOps
