Improve ML Team Productivity w/Standardization & Automation - an Introduction to Skelebot

Presented by: Sherry Wang, Senior Data Scientist at Cars.com
At: MLOps Salon: Building AI-Enabled Products
There are many hurdles a machine learning engineer/data scientist has to overcome to bring a model from ideation to production, especially on the cloud. How to recreate the development environment easily at a cheap price? Is there a way to enable teams with limited knowledge of container technology to self-deploy docker images? How to version control code as well as artifacts for a ML project? How to encourage teams to continuously create tools to automate repetitive tasks involved in the ML development process? In this talk, the audience will get to see how we solved these problems at cars.com by creating the open source tool skelebot, and be inspired to apply it to solve their own problems as well.
