Automated Machine Learning Model Retraining Using AWS SageMaker

Title:
Automated Machine Learning Model Retraining Using AWS SageMaker

Abstract:
Predictive models degrade over time for many reasons including variation in customers' preferences, competitors' behaviors, product changes and macroeconomic conditions. One way to mitigate model degradation is retraining at weekly and monthly frequencies. Stuart will describe how Enova International uses AWS SageMaker to automatically retrain machine learning models within an inexpensive, flexible and efficient framework.
