The topic: Let Google do the boring stuff: MLOps for lone wolves and world conquerors alike
Tired of the endless cycle of model training, deployment, and monitoring? Wish you could focus on the exciting parts of machine learning instead of the tedious infrastructure management?
This talk explores how Google Vertex AI can streamline your MLOps workflow, whether you're a solo data scientist or part of a large team. We'll dive into:
•⁠ ⁠Automated model training and deployment: Vertex AI's custom training options and Vizier allow you to build, tune, and deploy high-quality models with minimal code.
•⁠ ⁠Simplified model monitoring and management: Track model performance, identify drift and retrain models with ease using Vertex AI's built-in tools.
•⁠ ⁠Scalable infrastructure: Vertex AI provides the infrastructure you need to run your ML workloads, from data preprocessing to model serving, without worrying about scaling or resource management.
Learn how Vertex AI can free you from the "boring stuff" and empower you to focus on what matters: building innovative data products that drive real-world impact.
💫💙 The Second Speaker - Dr. Alexander Meier

The topic: Mind the Gap: Forecasting Demand from Censored Sales Data
This talk explores how to handle demand forecasting when the historical sales data is censored by inventory or supply constraints.
We will cover different modeling techniques, show how to evaluate them properly and walk through a simulation study that compares various approaches.
