From MVP to Production // AI in Production Conference

Join us at our first in-person conference on June 25 all about AI Quality: https://www.aiqualityconference.com/ // Abstract Dive into the challenges of scaling AI models from Minimum Viable Product (MVP) to full production. The panel emphasizes the importance of continually updating knowledge and data, citing examples like teaching AI systems nuanced concepts and handling brand name translations.

User feedback's role in model training, alongside evaluation steps like human annotation and heuristic-based assessment, was highlighted.
