Taking Machine Learning from the lab and into the real world is often the biggest challenge facing data scientists. In this talk, Lina Weichbrodt and Elena Stein from Taktile, a leading interactive decisioning platform for the financial services industry, will share six best practices they learned bringing dozens of machine learning models into production. As it turns out, the model is rarely the weakest link in making a project succeed. We will delve into go-live checklists, monitoring best practices, and what requirements should be defined in the business case. The talk will be most helpful for listeners with beginner or mid-level skills in productionizing data science products.
Lina has 10+ years of industry experience in developing scalable machine-learning models and bringing them into production. She currently works as a pragmatic machine-learning freelancer and consultant. She has helped clients in fintech, mobility, and travel to get value out of their AI projects. Come by and say hi, especially if you are also working on how to best use large language models in a conversational product.
