• This talk contains an overview of the production machine learning ecosystem in 2019.
• It provides an insight on the relevant themes which are all listed in our Awesome Production ML list
• For each theme, we dive into its definition, challenges, libraries available and a hands-on example
• We cover dive into three themes:
  • Explainablility of Black Box Models
  • Production Machine Learning Orchestration
  • ML Model Reproducitbility and Versioning
• As an overview, the content for each of the themes is as follows:
  • ML Model Reproducitbility and Versioning
    • Abstraction of code, config and data
    • Example building an re-usable NLP pipeline with Kubeflow + deploying with Seldon
    • Other libraries, including MLFlow, DVC and Pachyderm
  • Production Machine Learning Orchestration
    • Automation of model deployment through gitops and standardisation of metrics
    • Example building general PyTorch Hub Wrapper with Seldon
    • Other libraries including MLeap, Deep Detect
  • Explainablility of Black Box Models
    • Explanations of black box models for compliance
    • Explainer design pattern example building a production income classifier
    • Other libraries including ELI5, SHAP and XAI
