Who is this presentation for?

  • Software engineers, data scientists, DevOps engineers, and anyone interested in delivering data science experiences in production

Prerequisite knowledge

  • Familiarity with the data science landscape

What you'll learn

  • Learn concepts and tactics for delivering machine learning-powered solutions in large-scale applications

Description

Creating machine learning models consists of many pieces: data cleaning, analysis, statistics, training, accuracy analysis, etc. Developing a model is still just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to delivering a machine learning or deep learning solution in production.

Richa Khandelwal explores where engineering fits into data science and shares software engineering and DevOps practices that help in taking a machine learning model to production. Along the way, Richa explains how to enforce quality without complete code rewrites and how blurring the lines between data scientists and engineers helps deliver solutions more quickly.
