In machine learning, a hyperparameter is a parameter whose value is set before the learning process begins. By contrast, the values of other parameters are derived via training. Different model training algorithms require different hyperparameters, some simple algorithms (such as ordinary least squares regression) require none. Given these hyperparameters, the training algorithm learns the parameters from the data.

Machine learning algorithms train on data to find the best set of weights for each independent variable that affects the predicted value or class. The algorithms themselves have variables, called hyperparameters. They’re called hyperparameters, as opposed to parameters, because they control the operation of the algorithm rather than the weights being determined. The most important hyperparameter is often the learning rate, which determines the step size used when finding the next set of weights to try when optimizing. If the learning rate is too high, the gradient descent may quickly converge on a plateau or suboptimal point. If the learning rate is too low, the gradient descent may stall and never completely converge. Many other common hyperparameters depend on the algorithms used. Most algorithms have stopping parameters, such as the maximum number of epochs, or the maximum time to run, or the minimum improvement from epoch to epoch. Specific algorithms have hyperparameters that control the shape of their search. For example, a [[Random Forest (or) Random Decision Forest]] Classifier has hyperparameters for minimum samples per leaf, max depth, minimum samples at a split, minimum weight fraction for a leaf, and about 8 more.

* [https://www.databricks.com/glossary/llmops What Is LLMOps? | Databricks]
 +
 +
 +
Large Language Model Operations (LLMOps) is a set of practices and tools for the operational management of large language models (LLMs) in production environments. LLMOps encompasses the entire lifecycle of LLMs, from development and deployment to monitoring and maintenance. LLMOps is important because LLMs are complex and resource-intensive models that require careful management to ensure that they are performing as expected and meeting the needs of their users. LLMOps tools and practices can help to streamline and automate the LLM lifecycle, making it easier to deploy and manage LLMs in production.
 +
 +
Here are some of the key components of LLMOps:
 +
 +
* <b>Model development</b>: LLMOps tools and practices can help to streamline the process of developing new LLMs, from data collection and preparation to model training and evaluation.
 +
* <b>Model deployment</b>: LLMOps tools and practices can help to deploy LLMs to production environments in a safe and efficient manner.
 +
* <b>Model monitoring</b>: LLMOps tools and practices can help to monitor the performance of LLMs in production and identify any problems early on.
 +
* <b>Model maintenance</b>: LLMOps tools and practices can help to maintain LLMs in production, including fine-tuning models to improve their performance and updating models with new data.
 +
 +
 +
LLMOps is still a relatively new field, but it is rapidly growing as more and more organizations adopt LLMs. There are a number of LLMOps tools and platforms available, both open source and proprietary. Here are some of the benefits of using LLMOps:
 +
 +
* <b>Improved efficiency and productivity</b>: LLMOps tools and practices can help to automate and streamline the LLM lifecycle, freeing up data scientists and engineers to focus on more creative and strategic tasks.
 +
* <b>Reduced costs</b>: LLMOps can help to reduce the costs of developing and managing LLMs by improving efficiency and reducing the risk of errors.
 +
* <b>Increased reliability and performance</b>: LLMOps can help to ensure that LLMs are performing reliably and meeting the needs of their users by providing tools and practices for monitoring and maintaining LLMs in production.

LLMOps is a subset of MLOps that focuses specifically on the operational management of large language models (LLMs). MLOps is a set of practices and tools for managing the entire lifecycle of machine learning models, from development to deployment to production. AIOps is a broader field that focuses on using AI and machine learning to improve IT operations and management.  Here is a table that summarizes the key differences between LLMOps, AIOps, and MLOps:

 +
 +
 +
Here are some examples of how LLMOps is different from AIOps/MLOps:
 +
 +
* <b>Model development</b>: LLMOps tools and practices are specifically designed for developing and training LLMs. For example, LLMOps tools may help to automate the process of collecting and cleaning text data, or they may provide specialized libraries for training LLMs.
 +
* <b>Model deployment</b>: LLMOps tools and practices can help to deploy LLMs to production environments in a way that is optimized for performance and reliability. For example, LLMOps tools may help to scale LLMs to handle large volumes of traffic, or they may provide specialized infrastructure for hosting LLMs.
 +
* <b>Model monitoring and maintenance</b>: LLMOps tools and practices can help to monitor the performance of LLMs in production and identify any problems early on. For example, LLMOps tools may track the accuracy of LLMs on real-world data, or they may detect potential biases in LLMs.

Raj Ramesh Managing data versions and model versions is critical in deploying machine learning models. This is because if you want to re-create the models or go back to fix them, you will need both the data that went into training the model and as well as the model hyperparameters itself. In this video I explained that concept. Here's what I can do to help you. I speak on the topics of architecture and AI, help you integrate AI into your organization, educate your team on what AI can or cannot do, and make things simple enough that you can take action from your new knowledge. I work with your organization to understand the nuances and challenges that you face, and together we can understand, frame, analyze, and address challenges in a systematic way so you see improvement in your overall business, is aligned with your strategy, and most importantly, you and your organization can incrementally change to transform and thrive in the future. If any of this sounds like something you might need, please reach out to me at dr.raj.ramesh@topsigma.com, and we'll get back in touch within a day. Thanks for watching my videos and for subscribing. www.topsigma.com www.linkedin.com/in/rajramesh

Model Versioning - ModelDB

  • ModelDB: An open-source system for Machine Learning model versioning, metadata, and experiment management

Model Versioning Done Right: A ModelDB 2.0 Walkthrough
In a field that is rapidly evolving but lacks infrastructure to operationalize and govern models, ModelDB 2.0 provides the ability to version the full modeling process including the underlying data and training configurations, ensuring that teams can always go back and re-create a model, whether to remedy a production incident or to answer a regulatory query.

Model Versioning Why, When, and How
Models are the new code. While machine learning models are increasingly being used to make critical product and business decisions, the process of developing and deploying ML models remain ad-hoc. In the “wild-west” of data science and ML tools, versioning, management, and deployment of models are massive hurdles in making ML efforts successful. As creators of ModelDB, an open-source model management solution developed at MIT CSAIL, we have helped manage and deploy a host of models ranging from cutting-edge deep learning models to traditional ML models in finance. In each of these applications, we have found that the key to enabling production ML is an often-overlooked but critical step: model versioning. Without a means to uniquely identify, reproduce, or rollback a model, production ML pipelines remain brittle and unreliable. In this webinar, we draw upon our experience with ModelDB and Verta to present best practices and tools for model versioning and how having a robust versioning solution (akin to Git for code) can streamlining DS/ML, enable rapid deployment, and ensure high quality of deployed ML models.

Hyperparameter

YouTube search... ...Google search

In machine learning, a hyperparameter is a parameter whose value is set before the learning process begins. By contrast, the values of other parameters are derived via training. Different model training algorithms require different hyperparameters, some simple algorithms (such as ordinary least squares regression) require none. Given these hyperparameters, the training algorithm learns the parameters from the data. Hyperparameter (machine learning) | Wikipedia

Machine learning algorithms train on data to find the best set of weights for each independent variable that affects the predicted value or class. The algorithms themselves have variables, called hyperparameters. They’re called hyperparameters, as opposed to parameters, because they control the operation of the algorithm rather than the weights being determined. The most important hyperparameter is often the learning rate, which determines the step size used when finding the next set of weights to try when optimizing. If the learning rate is too high, the gradient descent may quickly converge on a plateau or suboptimal point. If the learning rate is too low, the gradient descent may stall and never completely converge. Many other common hyperparameters depend on the algorithms used. Most algorithms have stopping parameters, such as the maximum number of epochs, or the maximum time to run, or the minimum improvement from epoch to epoch. Specific algorithms have hyperparameters that control the shape of their search. For example, a Random Forest (or) Random Decision Forest Classifier has hyperparameters for minimum samples per leaf, max depth, minimum samples at a split, minimum weight fraction for a leaf, and about 8 more. Machine learning algorithms explained | Martin Heller - InfoWorld

Hyperparameter Tuning

Hyperparameters are the variables that govern the training process. Your model parameters are optimized (you could say "tuned") by the training process: you run data through the operations of the model, compare the resulting prediction with the actual value for each data instance, evaluate the accuracy, and adjust until you find the best combination to handle the problem. These algorithms automatically adjust (learn) their internal parameters based on data. However, there is a subset of parameters that is not learned and that have to be configured by an expert. Such parameters are often referred to as “hyperparameters” — and they have a big impact ...For example, the tree depth in a decision tree model and the number of layers in an artificial Neural Network are typical hyperparameters. The performance of a model can drastically depend on the choice of its hyperparameters. Machine learning algorithms and the art of hyperparameter selection - A review of four optimization strategies | Mischa Lisovyi and Rosaria Silipo - TNW

There are four commonly used optimization strategies for hyperparameters:

  1. Bayesian optimization
  2. Grid search
  3. Random search
  4. Hill climbing

Bayesian optimization tends to be the most efficient. You would think that tuning as many hyperparameters as possible would give you the best answer. However, unless you are running on your own personal hardware, that could be very expensive. There are diminishing returns, in any case. With experience, you’ll discover which hyperparameters matter the most for your data and choice of algorithms. Machine learning algorithms explained | Martin Heller - InfoWorld

Hyperparameter Optimization libraries:

Tuning:

  • Optimizer type
  • Learning rate (fixed or not)
  • Epochs
  • Regularization rate (or not)
  • Type of Regularization - L1, L2, ElasticNet
  • Search type for local minima
    • Gradient descent
    • Simulated
    • Annealing
    • Evolutionary
  • Decay rate (or not)
  • Momentum (fixed or not)
  • Nesterov Accelerated Gradient momentum (or not)
  • Batch size
  • Fitness measurement type
  • Stop criteria

Automated Learning

YouTube search... ...Google search

Several production machine-learning platforms now offer automatic hyperparameter tuning. Essentially, you tell the system what hyperparameters you want to vary, and possibly what metric you want to optimize, and the system sweeps those hyperparameters across as many runs as you allow. (Google Cloud hyperparameter tuning extracts the appropriate metric from the TensorFlow model, so you don’t have to specify it.)

An emerging class of data science toolkit that is finally making machine learning accessible to business subject matter experts. We anticipate that these innovations will mark a new era in data-driven decision support, where business analysts will be able to access and deploy machine learning on their own to analyze hundreds and thousands of dimensions simultaneously. Business analysts at highly competitive organizations will shift from using visualization tools as their only means of analysis, to using them in concert with AML. Data visualization tools will also be used more frequently to communicate model results, and to build task-oriented user interfaces that enable stakeholders to make both operational and strategic decisions based on output of scoring engines. They will also continue to be a more effective means for analysts to perform inverse analysis when one is seeking to identify where relationships in the data do not exist. 'Five Essential Capabilities: Automated Machine Learning' | Gregory Bonnette

H2O Driverless AI automatically performs feature engineering and hyperparameter tuning, and claims to perform as well as Kaggle masters. AmazonML SageMaker supports hyperparameter optimization. Microsoft Azure Machine Learning AutoML automatically sweeps through features, algorithms, and hyperparameters for basic machine learning algorithms; a separate Azure Machine Learning hyperparameter tuning facility allows you to sweep specific hyperparameters for an existing experiment. Google Cloud AutoML implements automatic deep transfer learning (meaning that it starts from an existing Deep Neural Network (DNN) trained on other data) and neural architecture search (meaning that it finds the right combination of extra network layers) for language pair translation, natural language classification, and image classification. Review: Google Cloud AutoML is truly automated machine learning | Martin Heller

Hyperparameter Tuning with Amazon SageMaker's Automatic Model Tuning - AWS Online Tech Talks
Learn how to use Automatic Model Tuning with Amazon SageMaker to get the best machine learning model for your dataset. Training machine models requires choosing seemingly arbitrary hyperparameters like learning rate and regularization to control the learning algorithm. Traditionally, finding the best values for the hyperparameters requires manual trial-and-error experimentation. Amazon SageMaker makes it easy to get the best possible outcomes for your machine learning models by providing an option to create hyperparameter tuning jobs. These jobs automatically search over ranges of hyperparameters to find the best values. Using sophisticated Bayesian optimization, a meta-model is built to accurately predict the quality of your trained model from the hyperparameters. Learning Objectives:

- Understand what hyperparameters are and what they do for training machine learning models
- Learn how to use Automatic Model Tuning with Amazon SageMaker for creating hyperparameter tuning of your training jobs
- Strategies for choosing and iterating on tuning ranges of a hyperparameter tuning job with Amazon SageMaker

New cloud software suite of machine learning tools. It’s based on Google’s state-of-the-art research in image recognition called Neural Architecture Search (NAS). NAS is basically an algorithm that, given your specific dataset, searches for the most optimal neural network to perform a certain task on that dataset. AutoML is then a suite of machine learning tools that will allow one to easily train high-performance deep networks, without requiring the user to have any knowledge of deep learning or AI; all you need is labelled data! Google will use NAS to then find the best network for your specific dataset and task. AutoKeras: The Killer of Google’s AutoML | George Seif - KDnuggets

Machine learning capabilities give IT operations teams contextual, actionable insights to make better decisions on the job. More importantly, AIOps is an approach that transforms how systems are automated, detecting important signals from vast amounts of data and relieving the operator from the headaches of managing according to tired, outdated runbooks or policies. In the AIOps future, the environment is continually improving. The administrator can get out of the impossible business of refactoring rules and policies that are immediately outdated in today’s modern IT environment. Now that we have AI and machine learning technologies embedded into IT operations systems, the game changes drastically. AI and machine learning-enhanced automation will bridge the gap between DevOps and IT Ops teams: helping the latter solve issues faster and more accurately to keep pace with business goals and user needs.

Building an MLOps Toolchain The Fundamentals
Artificial intelligence and machine learning are the latest “must-have” technologies in helping organizations realize better business outcomes. However, most organizations don’t have a structured process for rolling out AI-infused applications. Data scientists create AI models in isolation from IT, which then needs to insert those models into applications—and ensure their security—to deliver any business value. In this ebook/webinar, we examine the best way to set up an MLOps process to ensure successful delivery of AI-infused applications.

Webinar: MLOps automation with Git Based CI/CD for ML
Deploying AI/ML based applications is far from trivial. On top of the traditional DevOps challenges, you need to foster collaboration between multidisciplinary teams (data-scientists, data/ML engineers, software developers and DevOps), handle model and experiment versioning, data versioning, etc. Most ML/AI deployments involve significant manual work, but this is changing with the introduction of new frameworks that leverage cloud-native paradigms, Git and Kubernetes to automate the process of ML/AI-based application deployment. In this session we will explain how ML Pipelines work, the main challenges and the different steps involved in producing models and data products (data gathering, preparation, training/AutoML, validation, model deployment, drift monitoring and so on). We will demonstrate how the development and deployment process can be greatly simplified and automated. We’ll show how you can: a. maximize the efficiency and collaboration between the various teams, b. harness Git review processes to evaluate models, and c. abstract away the complexity of Kubernetes and DevOps. We will demo how to enable continuous delivery of machine learning to production using Git, CI frameworks (e.g. GitHub Actions) with hosted Kubernetes, Kubeflow, MLOps orchestration tools (MLRun), and Serverless functions (Nuclio) using real-world application examples.

MLOps #34 Owned By Statistics: How Kubeflow & MLOps Can Help Secure ML Workloads // David Aronchick
While machine learning is spreading like wildfire, very little attention has been paid to the ways that it can go wrong when moving from development to production. Even when models work perfectly, they can be attacked and/or degrade quickly if the data changes. Having a well understood MLOps process is necessary for ML security! Using Kubeflow, we demonstrated how to the common ways machine learning workflows go wrong, and how to mitigate them using MLOps pipelines to provide reproducibility, validation, versioning/tracking, and safe/compliant deployment. We also talked about the direction for MLOps as an industry, and how we can use it to move faster, with less risk, than ever before. David leads Open Source Machine Learning Strategy at Azure. This means he spends most of his time helping humans to convince machines to be smarter. He is only moderately successful at this. Previously, he led product management for Kubernetes on behalf of Google, launched Google Kubernetes Engine, and co-founded the Kubeflow project. He has also worked at Microsoft, Amazon and Chef and co-founded three startups. When not spending too much time in service of electrons, he can be found on a mountain (on skis), traveling the world (via restaurants) or participating in kid activities, of which there are a lot more than he remembers than when he was that age.

AIDevFest20: Machine Learning Design Patterns for MLOps
Speaker: Valliappa Lakshmanan (LAK), Google Design patterns are formalized best practices to solve common problems when designing a software system. As machine learning moves from being a research discipline to a software one, it is useful to catalog tried-and-proven methods to help engineers tackle frequently occurring problems that crop up during the ML process. In this talk, I will cover five patterns (Workflow Pipelines, Transform, Multimodal Input, Feature Store, Cascade) that are useful in the context of adding flexibility, resilience and reproducibility to ML in production. For data scientists and ML engineers, these patterns provide a way to apply hard-won knowledge from hundreds of ML experts to your own projects. Anyone designing infrastructure for machine learning will have to be able to provide easy ways for the data engineers, data scientists, and ML engineers to implement these, and other, design patterns.

Large Language Model Operations (LLMOps)


Large Language Model Operations (LLMOps) is a set of practices and tools for the operational management of large language models (LLMs) in production environments. LLMOps encompasses the entire lifecycle of LLMs, from development and deployment to monitoring and maintenance. LLMOps is important because LLMs are complex and resource-intensive models that require careful management to ensure that they are performing as expected and meeting the needs of their users. LLMOps tools and practices can help to streamline and automate the LLM lifecycle, making it easier to deploy and manage LLMs in production.

Here are some of the key components of LLMOps:

  • Model development: LLMOps tools and practices can help to streamline the process of developing new LLMs, from data collection and preparation to model training and evaluation.
  • Model deployment: LLMOps tools and practices can help to deploy LLMs to production environments in a safe and efficient manner.
  • Model monitoring: LLMOps tools and practices can help to monitor the performance of LLMs in production and identify any problems early on.
  • Model maintenance: LLMOps tools and practices can help to maintain LLMs in production, including fine-tuning models to improve their performance and updating models with new data.


LLMOps is still a relatively new field, but it is rapidly growing as more and more organizations adopt LLMs. There are a number of LLMOps tools and platforms available, both open source and proprietary. Here are some of the benefits of using LLMOps:

  • Improved efficiency and productivity: LLMOps tools and practices can help to automate and streamline the LLM lifecycle, freeing up data scientists and engineers to focus on more creative and strategic tasks.
  • Reduced costs: LLMOps can help to reduce the costs of developing and managing LLMs by improving efficiency and reducing the risk of errors.
  • Increased reliability and performance: LLMOps can help to ensure that LLMs are performing reliably and meeting the needs of their users by providing tools and practices for monitoring and maintaining LLMs in production.

How is LLMOps different from AIOps/MLOps?


LLMOps is a subset of MLOps that focuses specifically on the operational management of large language models (LLMs). MLOps is a set of practices and tools for managing the entire lifecycle of machine learning models, from development to deployment to production. AIOps is a broader field that focuses on using AI and machine learning to improve IT operations and management. Here is a table that summarizes the key differences between LLMOps, AIOps, and MLOps:

Characteristic LLMOps AIOps MLOps
Focus Operational management of LLMs Use of AI and ML to improve IT operations and management Operational management of machine learning models
Use cases Language-related tasks, such as chatbots, language translation, sentiment analysis, and content generation IT operations tasks, such as incident management, capacity planning, and performance monitoring Machine learning tasks, such as fraud detection, product recommendation, and predictive maintenance
Team composition NLP specialists, linguists, data scientists with language modeling expertise, and software engineers experienced in building language-related applications Data scientists, analytics professionals, data engineers, domain experts, and IT professionals Data scientists, machine learning engineers, software engineers, and DevOps engineers


Here are some examples of how LLMOps is different from AIOps/MLOps:

  • Model development: LLMOps tools and practices are specifically designed for developing and training LLMs. For example, LLMOps tools may help to automate the process of collecting and cleaning text data, or they may provide specialized libraries for training LLMs.
  • Model deployment: LLMOps tools and practices can help to deploy LLMs to production environments in a way that is optimized for performance and reliability. For example, LLMOps tools may help to scale LLMs to handle large volumes of traffic, or they may provide specialized infrastructure for hosting LLMs.
  • Model monitoring and maintenance: LLMOps tools and practices can help to monitor the performance of LLMs in production and identify any problems early on. For example, LLMOps tools may track the accuracy of LLMs on real-world data, or they may detect potential biases in LLMs.

DevSecOps in Government

DOD Enterprise DevSecOps Initiative
CSIAC The current Department of Defense (DOD) software acquisition process is not responsive to the needs of our warfighters. Therefore, it is difficult for the DOD to keep pace with our potential adversaries and avoid falling behind them. To address this situation, the DOD is pursuing a new software development activity called the DOD Enterprise DevSecOps Initiative. This webinar will present the vision for transforming DOD software acquisition into secure, responsive software factories. It will examine and explore the utilization of modern software development processes and tools to revolutionize the Department’s ability to provide responsive, timely, and secure software capabilities for our warfighters. The focus of the effort involves exploiting automated software tools, services, and standards so warfighters can rapidly create, deploy, and operate software applications in a secure, flexible, and interoperable manner.

Strangler Fig / Strangler Pattern

Strangulation of a legacy or undesirable solution is a safe way to phase one thing out for something better, cheaper, or more expandable. You make something new that obsoletes a small percentage of something old, and put them live together. You do some more work in the same style, and go live again (rinse, repeat). Strangler Applications | Paul Hammant ...case studies

"Choking the Monolith − The Strangler Pattern Applied" by Tobias Goeschel (@w3ltraumpirat)
The so called "Strangler Fig" (aka "Strangler") pattern is a much cited strategy for replacing legacy systems with new, often microservice-based architectures. However, it's not actually a microservice pattern, and there are several - quite different - ways to implement it. Are you confused yet? Fear not: We will have a look at the theory, and then explore together, how Strangler Fig could be used to improve and replace a project worthy being called "The Most Horrible Piece Of Code in the World". === As a principal consultant at codecentric, Tobias has seen, improved and survived enough of "the code that earns our money" to enjoy it.

Then, we share practical tips to migrate applications to realize cloud-native architectural benefits incrementally using the strangler pattern.

Model Monitoring

YouTube search... ...Google search

Monitoring production systems is essential to keeping them running well. For ML systems, monitoring becomes even more important, because their performance depends not just on factors that we have some control over, like infrastructure and our own software, but also on data, which we have much less control over. Therefore, in addition to monitoring standard metrics like latency, traffic, errors and saturation, we also need to monitor model prediction performance. An obvious challenge with monitoring model performance is that we usually don’t have a verified label to compare our model’s predictions to, since the model works on new data. In some cases we might have some indirect way of assessing the model’s effectiveness, for example by measuring click rate for a recommendation model. In other cases, we might have to rely on comparisons between time periods, for example by calculating a percentage of positive classifications hourly and alerting if it deviates by more than a few percent from the average for that time. Just like when validating the model, it’s also important to monitor metrics across slices, and not just globally, to be able to detect problems affecting specific segments.

Josh Wills: Visibility and Monitoring for Machine Learning Models
Josh started our Meetup with a short talk on deploying machine learning models into production. He's worked as the Director of Data Science at Cloudera, he wrote the Java version of Google's AB testing framework, and he recently held the position of Director of Data Engineering at Slack. In his opinion the most important question is: "How often do you want to deploy this?" You should never deploy a machine learning model once. If the problem is not important enough to keep working on it and deploy new models, then its not important enough to pay the cost of putting it into production in the first place. Watch his talk to get his thoughts on testing machine learning models in production.

Concept Drift: Monitoring Model Quality in Streaming Machine Learning Applications
Most machine learning algorithms are designed to work on stationary data. Yet, real-life streaming data is rarely stationary. Models lose prediction accuracy over time if they are not retrained. Without model quality monitoring, retraining decisions are suboptimal and costly. Here, we review the monitoring methods and evaluate them for applicability in modern fast data and streaming applications.

Monitoring models in production - Jannes Klaas

Machine Learning Models in Production
Data Scientists and Machine Learning practitioners, nowadays, seem to be churning out models by the dozen and they continuously experiment to find ways to improve their accuracies. They also use a variety of ML and DL frameworks & languages , and a typical organization may find that this results in a heterogenous, complicated bunch of assets that require different types of runtimes, resources and sometimes even specialized compute to operate efficiently. But what does it mean for an enterprise to actually take these models to "production" ? How does an organization scale inference engines out & make them available for real-time applications without significant latencies ? There needs to be different techniques for batch ,offline, inferences and instant, online scoring. Data needs to be accessed from various sources and cleansing, transformations of data needs to be enabled prior to any predictions. In many cases, there maybe no substitute for customized data handling with scripting either. Enterprises also require additional auditing and authorizations built in, approval processes and still support a "continuous delivery" paradigm whereby a data scientist can enable insights faster. Not all models are created equal, nor are consumers of a model - so enterprises require both metering and allocation of compute resources for SLAs. In this session, we will take a look at how machine learning is operationalized in IBM Data Science Experience, DSX, a Kubernetes based offering for the Private Cloud and optimized for the HortonWorks Hadoop Data Platform. DSX essentially brings in typical software engineering development practices to Data Science, organizing the dev-test-production for machine learning assets in much the same way as typical software deployments. We will also see what it means to deploy, monitor accuracies and even rollback models & custom scorers as well as how API based techniques enable consuming business processes and applications to remain relatively stable amidst all the chaos.

A/B Testing

YouTube search... ...Google search

A/B testing (also known as bucket testing or split-run testing) is a user experience research methodology. A/B tests consist of a randomized experiment with two variants, A and B. It includes application of statistical hypothesis testing or "two-sample hypothesis testing" as used in the field of statistics. A/B testing is a way to compare two versions of a single variable, typically by testing a subject's response to variant A against variant B, and determining which of the two variants is more effective. A/B testing | Wikipedia

A randomized controlled trial (or randomized control trial; RCT) is a type of scientific (often medical) experiment that aims to reduce certain sources of bias when testing the effectiveness of new treatments; this is accomplished by randomly allocating subjects to two or more groups, treating them differently, and then comparing them with respect to a measured response. One group—the experimental group—receives the intervention being assessed, while the other—usually called the control group—receives an alternative treatment, such as a placebo or no intervention. The groups are monitored under conditions of the trial design to determine the effectiveness of the experimental intervention, and efficacy is assessed in comparison to the control. There may be more than one treatment group or more than one control group. Randomized controlled trial | Wikipedia

Stanford Seminar: Peeking at A/B Tests - Why It Matters and What to Do About It
Ramesh Johari Stanford University I'll describe a novel statistical methodology that has been deployed by the commercial A/B testing platform Optimizely to communicate experimental results to their customers. Our methodology addresses the issue that traditional p-values and confidence intervals give unreliable inference. This is because users of A/B testing software are known to continuously monitor these measures as the experiment is running. We provide always valid p-values and confidence intervals that are provably robust to this effect. Not only does this make it safe for a user to continuously monitor, but it empowers her to detect true effects more efficiently. I'll cover why continuous monitoring is a problem, and how our solution addresses it. The talk will be presented at a level that does not presume much statistical background. Ramesh Johari is an Associate Professor at Stanford University, with a full-time appointment in the Department of Management Science and Engineering (MS&E), and courtesy appointments in the Departments of Computer Science (CS) and Electrical Engineering (EE). He is a member of the Operations Research group and the Social Algorithms Lab (SOAL) in MS&E, the Information Systems Laboratory (ISL) in EE, and the Institute for Computational and Mathematical Engineering (ICME).

Shawn Scully: Production and Beyond: Deploying and Managing Machine Learning Models
PyData NYC 2015 Machine learning has become the key component in building intelligence-infused applications. However, as companies increase the number of such deployments, the number of machine learning models that need to be created, maintained, monitored, tracked, and improved grow at a tremendous pace. This growth has lead to a huge (and well-documented) accumulation of technical debt. Developing a machine learning application is an iterative process that involves building multiple models over a dataset. The dataset itself evolves over time as new features and new data points are collected. Furthermore, once deployed, the models require updates over time. Changes in models and datasets become difficult to track over time, and one can quickly lose track of which version of the model used which data and why it was subsequently replaced. In this talk, we outline some of the key challenges in large-scale deployments of many interacting machine learning models. We then describe a methodology for management, monitoring, and optimization of such models in production, which helps mitigate the technical debt. In particular, we demonstrate how to: Track models and versions, and visualize their quality over time Track the provenance of models and datasets, and quantify how changes in data impact the models being served Optimize model ensembles in real time, based on changing data, and provide alerts when such ensembles no longer provide the desired accuracy.
