Unravelling Hidden Technical Debt in ML: A Pythonic Approach to Robust Systems
12-07, 13:30–14:00 (UTC), Machine Learning Track

Explore the labyrinth of hidden technical debt in ML systems through the lens of a data scientist. Delve into six core challenges, illustrated by a churn prediction model case, and discover Python's prowess in navigating these challenges. Uncover Python tools like Docker, Flyte, Airflow, and Git that arm you against technical debt, leading to resilient ML infrastructure.


This talk encapsulates the journey from recognising to rectifying hidden technical debt in ML systems, enriched with real-world examples. It's a blend of theory, practical insights, and a showcase of Python's extensive toolkit to fortify ML infrastructure against inherent challenges, aiming to equip attendees with strategies for building robust, maintainable systems.
