Just Fetch the Data and then... // David Bayliss // Coffee Sessions #110

MLOps Coffee Sessions #110 with David Bayliss, Chief Data Scientist of LexisNexis Risk Solutions, Just Fetch the Data and then... co-hosted by Vishnu Rachakonda. // Abstract Composing data to extract features can be a significant problem. Key factors are the data size, compliance restrictions, and real-time data. Ethics (and law) can drive extremely complex audit requirements. In the cloud, you can do anything - at a price. // Bio One of the creators of the world's first big data platform (HPCC);  David has been tackling big data problems for two decades. A mathematician, compiler writer, and data sponge with more than five dozen patents spanning platforms linking, and search. Most inventors think outside the box; David can't even remember where the box is. He leads the team that creates their core Data Science methods used by hundreds of data scientists. // MLOps Jobs board   https://mlops.pallet.xyz/jobs MLOps Swag/Merch https://mlops-community.myshopify.com/ // Related Links Interesting insight in this post.
