Talk 2
Title: How to detect silent failures in ML models
Speaker: Wojtek Kuberski

Abstract: ML models fail silently. So how do we detect and address these failures? In this talk, I'll discuss types of failures in operational ML, and ways to detect and address them.
We'll cover the taxonomy of failures based on use cases, data, characteristics of systems they interact with, and human involvement. You'll learn the tools (both statistical and algorithmic) used in dealing with these failures, their applications and their limits.

Bio: Wojtek Kuberski is a co-founder of NannyML, a startup for monitoring ML models in production. He holds a Master's Degree in AI. He previously founded and grew an AI consultancy. He likes tennis, chess and food.
