Building and deploying a machine learning model can be difficult to do once. Enabling other engineers (or yourself, one month later) to reproduce your pipeline, to compare the results of different versions, to track what’s running where, and to redeploy and rollback updated models is much harder.
In this talk, Matei Zaharia, the Co-founder and Chief Technologist from Databricks, will introduce MLflow, a new open-source project launched by Databricks that simplifies the machine learning lifecycle. MLflow provides APIs for tracking experiment runs between multiple users, reproducing work, and deploying and managing models. MLflow is designed to be an open, modular platform that you can use it with any existing ML library and development process. MLflow was launched in June 2018 and has already seen significant community contributions, with over 130 contributors to date, including teams from Microsoft and R Studio. He will give special focus to new components in MLflow including the MLflow Model Registry and auto-logging packages for TensorFlow and Keras. https://mlflow.org
