About our speakers and their talks:
Dr Ariadna Blanca Romero, Enterprise Scale MLOps at NatWest: The Journey So far
Ariadna Blanca Romero is a Data Scientist/ML Engineer at NatWest with a PhD in Physics with expertise in computational material science. She is passionate about creating tools for automation that take advantage of the reproducibility of results from models and optimise the process to ensure prompt decision-making to deliver the best customer experience.
Ariadna will take us on Natwest Group's journey towards building a new MLOps platform that streamlines the entire machine learning lifecycle. This platform aims to boost team productivity, reduce manual workflows for building, training, and deploying models, maintain high model
accuracy, and enhance security and compliance.
Dr Clare Watts, MLOps case study: Customer Lifetime Value
Clare Watts is a Data Scientist at NatWest with a PhD in Materials Science. She moved into the field after discovering coding and data science through using MatLab for signal processing and machine control and has been working as a Data Scientist in the Wealth Data and Analytics department for almost two years.
Clare will walk through a use-case currently being migrated to the new MLOps platform in Natwest. The complex ensemble model uses a suite of estimators to predict Customer Lifetime Value as well as propensity to take up certain products. The modelling approach, as well as a brief overview of some of the codebase changes required to migrate to the new platform will be discussed.
