MLOps: A Review

Wazir, Samar, Kashyap, Gautam Siddharth, Saxena, Parag

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Recently, Machine Learning (ML) has become a widely accepted method for significant progress that is rapidly evolving. Since it employs computational methods to teach machines and produce acceptable answers. The significance of the Machine Learning Operations (MLOps) methods, which can provide acceptable answers for such problems, is examined in this study. To assist in the creation of software that is simple to use, the authors research MLOps methods. To choose the best tool structure for certain projects, the authors also assess the features and operability of various MLOps methods. A total of 22 papers were assessed that attempted to apply the MLOps idea. Finally, the authors admit the scarcity of fully effective MLOps methods based on which advancements can self-regulate by limiting human engagement.


Building a Machine Learning Platform [Definitive Guide] - neptune.ai

#artificialintelligence

Moving across the typical machine learning lifecycle can be a nightmare. As the number of ML-powered apps and services grows, it gets overwhelming for data scientists and ML engineers to build and deploy models at scale. Supporting the operations of data scientists and ML engineers requires you to reduce--or eliminate--the engineering overhead of building, deploying, and maintaining high-performance models. To do that, you'd need to take a systematic approach to MLOps--enter platforms! Machine learning platforms are increasingly looking to be the "fix" to successfully consolidate all the components of MLOps from development to production. Not only does the platform give your team the tools and infrastructure they need to build and operate models at scale, but it also applies standard engineering and MLOps principles to all use cases. But here's the catch: understanding what makes a platform successful and building it is no easy feat.


FLINT: A Platform for Federated Learning Integration

Wang, Ewen, Kannan, Ajay, Liang, Yuefeng, Chen, Boyi, Chowdhury, Mosharaf

Cross-device federated learning (FL) has been well-studied from algorithmic, system scalability, and training speed perspectives. Nonetheless, moving from centralized training to cross-device FL for millions or billions of devices presents many risks, including performance loss, developer inertia, poor user experience, and unexpected application failures. In addition, the corresponding infrastructure, development costs, and return on investment are difficult to estimate. In this paper, we present a device-cloud collaborative FL platform that integrates with an existing machine learning platform, providing tools to measure real-world constraints, assess infrastructure capabilities, evaluate model training performance, and estimate system resource requirements to responsibly bring FL into production. We also present a decision workflow that leverages the FL-integrated platform to comprehensively evaluate the trade-offs of cross-device FL and share our empirical evaluations of business-critical machine learning applications that impact hundreds of millions of users.


Enterprise ML Platforms Done Right

#artificialintelligence

Many companies are attempting to speed up the delivery of their machine learning (ML) projects by creating platforms. While a few have succeeded, some have experienced significant failures, and most have ended up somewhere in the middle. This can happen when they address MLOps without first addressing their organizational structure and operating model. In this article, we will explore common pitfalls enterprises encounter when building ML platforms and provide solutions to help overcome these obstacles. We will tackle five common pitfalls enterprises face when getting their platform up and running and propose prescriptive solutions for each. To simplify the language, we will use the term "you" to refer to the team responsible for building and maintaining the platform.


Scalable End-to-End ML Platforms: from AutoML to Self-serve

Markov, Igor L., Apostolopoulos, Pavlos A., Garrard, Mia R., Qie, Tanya, Huang, Yin, Gupta, Tanvi, Li, Anika, Cardoso, Cesar, Han, George, Maghsoudian, Ryan, Zhou, Norm

ML platforms help enable intelligent data-driven applications and maintain them with limited engineering effort. Upon sufficiently broad adoption, such platforms reach economies of scale that bring greater component reuse while improving efficiency of system development and maintenance. For an end-to-end ML platform with broad adoption, scaling relies on pervasive ML automation and system integration to reach the quality we term self-serve that we define with ten requirements and six optional capabilities. With this in mind, we identify long-term goals for platform development, discuss related tradeoffs and future work. Our reasoning is illustrated on two commercially-deployed end-to-end ML platforms that host hundreds of real-time use cases -- one general-purpose and one specialized.


Unleashing ML Innovation at Spotify with Ray - Spotify Engineering : Spotify Engineering

#artificialintelligence

As the field of machine learning (ML) continues to evolve and its impact on society and various aspects of our lives grows, it is becoming increasingly important for practitioners and innovators to consider a broader range of perspectives when building ML models and applications. This desire is driving the need for a more flexible and scalable ML infrastructure. At Spotify, we strongly believe in a diverse and collaborative approach to building ML applications. Gone are the days when ML was the domain of only a small group of researchers and engineers. We want to democratize our ML efforts such that contributors of all backgrounds, including engineers, data scientists, and researchers, can leverage their unique perspectives, skills, and expertise to further ML at Spotify.

What is the smartest artificial intelligence ever created? All today's AI is not True AI, be it virtual assistants or autonomous vehicles or predictive applications or large language models or search engines or recommendation systems or language translators or facial recognition systems or q/a systems or gamers. AI has not reached even a proof of concept demonstration phase to verify that its models, concepts or theories have the potential for real-world applications, as the evidence demonstrating that AI projects/products are feasible. Real AI is not some infrastructure (ML platform, algorithms, data, compute) and development stack (from libraries to languages, IDE, workflow and visualisation): Some applied maths, probability theory and statistics; Some statistical learning algorithms, logic regression, linear regression, decision trees and random forests; Machine learning algorithms, supervised, unsupervised and reinforced; ANNs, DL algorithms and models, filtering the input data through many layers to predict and classify information; Optimizing (compressing and quantizing) trained neural network models; Some statistical patterns and inferences; Some programming languages, as Python and R., with their libraries and packages; ML platforms, frameworks and runtimes such as PyTorch, ONNX, Apache MXNet, TensorFlow, Caffe2, CNTK, SciKit-Learn, and Keras; Inferencing SDKs like the Qualcomm Neural Processing SDK, integrated development environments (IDE), such as PyCharm, Microsoft VS Code, Jupyter, MATLAB, etc.; Physical servers, virtual machines, containers, specialized hardware such as GPUs, cloud-based computational resources including VMs, containers, and Serverless computing. Today's AI is so-called "Narrow AI" which is designed to perform a single task, and any knowledge gained from performing that task will not automatically be applied to other tasks.

How to evaluate MLOps Platforms

#artificialintelligence

Companies that pioneered application of AI at scale did so using in-house ML platforms (facebook, uber, LinkedIn etc.). These capabilities are now available in off-the-shelf products. The rush to MLOps has led to too much choice. This is a very difficult landscape to navigate. Let's understand the big challenges and then we'll introduce some new free material that aims to address these problems.
