Operationalization is esse ntial to realizing the business value of ML models. We will also overlay t he paradigm of DevOps on ML lifecycle management including infusing automa ted validation of model\, removing bias and measurement using KPI's. Examp le framework and architecture of an ML operational model in action will be showcased\, including a starter toolkit.\n\nSPEAKERS:\n\n-Utpal Mangla ( MBA\, PEng\, CMC\, ITCP\, PMP\, ITIL\, CSM ) is a Vice President and Senio r Partner in IBM.
