ML Minutes

Krishna Rao, an Earth scientist PhD student at Stanford University, came in to explain the factors that influence wildfire risk, and talk about a tool he created using machine learning that helps predict where wildfires might happen. You can test out Krishna's fuel moisture map here, read the academic paper he wrote, or his summary in Toward Data Science.

Want to learn how to lose $40,000? One company inadvertently did— by embracing infinite storage and compute without guardrails, an oversight that could have been solved with MLOps.

Sometimes defined as “DevOps for ML”, MLOps encompasses everything from the hardware and software on which machine learning is done to the governance and ethics associated with deployment.

Demetrios Brinkmann, coordinator of the MLOps community and host of a number of fantastic AI podcasts, came in to discuss how we should be evaluating models throughout their life cycle. He also introduced a completely unique way to gamify feature stores that could change the way data scientists are remunerated. Demetrios shared some stories about how businesses can benefit from MLOps (and the astounding times ML has gone wrong without it!)

Would you trust an AI that told you when a plane engine was going to fail? What if the information gathered by that AI lost you your job?

On this week’s episode, we discuss ethics, bias, fairness, and how building trustworthy AI isn’t a one size fits all endeavor with Beena Ammanath, director of the Deloitte AI Institute.

Even before COVID-19 overwhelmed hospitals, many healthcare workers were feeling engulfed by their workload, never having enough time to properly focus on their patients. Automating key tasks in the patient journey could help change this, so patients receive the best possible care.

Dr. Devin Singh, a pediatric emergency physician in Toronto, Canada, as well as the founder of Hero AI, a startup dedicated to empowering patients and healthcare providers with AI, came in to chat about how he was doing just this. Devin discusses applications of AI in healthcare, navigating the institutions that compose the healthcare system, his collaborative approach to bringing people from different fields together in order to cut the red tape surrounding the implementation of a brand new solution, and the future of healthcare.
