MLOps.community #5 - High Stakes ML: Latent Conditions and Active Failures with Flavio Clesio

In our 5th meetup, we spoke with the Brasilian ML Engineer Flavio Clesio.

Machine Learning Systems play a huge role in several businesses from the Banking industry to recommender systems in entertainment applications until health domains. The era of "A Data Scientist with a Script in a single machine" is officially over in high stakes ML.

We're entering an era of Machine Learning Operations (MLOps) where those critical applications that impact society and businesses need to be aware of aspects like active failures and latent conditions. This talk will discuss risk assessment in ML Systems from the perspective of reliability, safety and especially causal aspects that can lead to the rise of silent risks in said systems.
