Who is this presentation for?

  • Executives and managers who want to embrace ML in the enterprise

Level

Non-technical

Materials or downloads needed in advance

  • A WiFi-enabled laptop

What you'll learn

  • Understand why risk management is key to successfully adopting machine learning across the enterprise

Description

As ML becomes increasingly important for businesses and data science teams alike, managing its risks is quickly becoming one of the biggest challenges to the technology’s widespread adoption. Join Andrew Bur, Steven Touw, Richard Geering, Joseph Regensburger, and Alfred Rossi for a hands-on overview of how to train, validate, and audit machine learning models (ML) in practice. You’ll learn practical tools and best practices to help safely deploy ML while fully harnessing the technology.

Outline:

Phase 1:
Get in-depth overviews of how ML works in practice and learn best practices for risk management in ML across teams. You’ll focus on understanding both opaque algorithms and large datasets, and how they may adapt and change over time.

Phase 2:
In teams, you’ll tackle concrete data science problems to learn how and when ML solves specific problems within the enterprise, how to apply ML to maximize the value of corporate data while minimizing its downsides, and how to manage teams of data scientists engaged in deploying ML within their companies.

Phase 3:
You’ll determine the lessons your team learned from their particular use case, then combine these shared insights to illustrate the benefits of a robust risk management framework for ML.

Hi Steven,

I saw that you are a speaker at the Strata Conference; I’m looking forward to your presentation. I have been following your company for the last couple of months and I am very impressed with your success.
I would love to introduce myself and discuss a strategic partnership with your company. I have helped many companies in the Big Data and Analytics space such as Amazon, Bosch, Samsung, Graphcore, LG Eletronics MapR, Platfora, Couchbase, Snowflake, MongoDB, E8 Security, Imply, Streamsets and many more with their challenging hiring needs.

I am looking forward to meeting you soon. Good luck with your speech.

Thanks,
