Abstract:

AI/ML has seen large scale adoption in almost every part of the business however
practices to reliably package, deploy and productionise the ML models leave much to be desired.
There is an increasing realization to automate and standardize the processes of model
development, evaluation and model serving for improved efficiency and faster scaling of
businesses. MLOps brings together ML development and operations by including the key
principles of continuous integration, continuous deployment along with continuous training and
management of Machine Learning pipelines. In this session I will talk about implementation of
MLOps as an integral part of machine learning lifecycle.
