MLflow: An open platform to simplify the machine learning lifecycle
Location: Expo Hall
Secondary topics:  Model lifecycle management
Mani Parkhe (Databricks), Andrew Chen (Databricks)
Successfully building and deploying a machine learning model is difficult to do once. Enabling other data scientists to reproduce your pipeline, compare the results of different versions, track what's running where, and redeploy and rollback updated models is much harder. Mani Parkhe and Andrew Chen offer an overview of MLflow—a new open source project from Databricks that simplifies this process. Read more.
