PodcastMLOps InsightsDavid Aponte-Demetrios Brinkmann-Vishnu Rachakonda · 37:47 · Sept 2021 · 314 views · MLOps Coffee Sessions

ClaimTesting in machine learning involves more than software unit tests; it can include data quality tests, training checks, serving infrastructure tests, and end-to-end tests.1:12

PodcastData Selection for Data-Centric AI: Data Quality Over QuantityCody Coleman · 1:11:01 · Oct 2021 · 616 views · MLOps Coffee Sessions

ClaimCody Coleman recommends starting with a small, clean data source and a simple model, then adding other sources incrementally when working with poor or undocumented organizational data.1:05:24

PodcastML TestsSvet Penkov, Efemarai · 40:24 · Nov 2021 · 683 views · MLOps Coffee Sessions

Pushed backSvet Penkov takes the view that measuring data quality beyond basic validity is not always meaningful and that model performance in the intended domain is the more useful measure.29:34
