Talk 3: Automating ML Process at Scale (30 min + 10 min Q&A)
Speaker: Marvin Buss, Zander Matheson

Abstract: Historically, data scientists have been excluded from the software development life cycle because typical software development tools do not support data science scenarios without heavy customization. Our goal is to both give data scientists first-class software development tools and help them move faster and with greater reliability. To do so, we have developed a few tools that we will showcase that follow best practices and industry standard contracts to help Data Scientists speed up training, development and deployment of data science workloads.

Bio (Marvin): Marvin is an Azure Customer Engineer at Microsoft with a focus on ML and Data Science, as well as MLOps and automating Data Science workflows.

Bio (Zander): Zander is a Data Scientist at GitHub, he works with the Data Science Foundations team which is focused on enhancing the experience and building capabilities for Data Scientists using GitHub.
