Talk One

Title: MLflow + AzureML
Presenter: Eduardo de Leon
Abstract: AzureML has a long history of providing solutions for the ML Lifecycle and now offers a vendor-agnostic approach for Data Scientists and ML Engineers to integrate with our enterprise-grade services via MLflow. Operationalizing MLflow in production offers some unique challenges, and we’ll talk about mlflow-skinny - a slimmed-down, system-integrator friendly MLflow client - today as one part of that puzzle.

Bio: Eddie is a Software Engineer on the AzureML team and has learned about building composable and maintainable SDKs the hard way, having developed the core of the initial AzureML Python SDK. Bringing those learnings to the MLflow community and AzureML users and applying them to differentially private scenarios is what makes Eddie the happiest!

Talk Two

Title: Deploy models to Algorithmia using MLflow
Presenter: Daniel Rodriguez
Abstract: We will take a look at the Algorithmia (algorithmia.com) platform. An MLOps platform allows data scientists to put their models in production by wrapping any machine learning inference code into a REST API and helps users scale and manage these deployments in an easy and convenient way without having to think of containers, kubernetes, and governance. We will also look at how MLflow helps users abstract different parts of the Machine Learning lifecycle, including deployment, and how we built an MLflow plugin to help users deploy any MLflow projects and experiments to Algorithmia.
