The Machine Learning
Workflow

Perception

In reality the
workflow spans teams …

… and tools …

… and is a small (but critical!)
piece of the puzzle
*Source: Hidden Technical Debt in Machine Learning Systems

What is a “model”?

Deep learning pipeline
beagle: 0.82
basset: 0.09
bluetick: 0.07
...
Input image Image pre-processing Prediction
Decode image
Resize
Normalization
Convert types / format
Inference Post-processing
[0.2, 0.3, … ]
(label, prob)
Sort
Label map
PIL, OpenCV, tf.image,
…

Pipelines, not Models
– Deploying (and testing) just the model
part of the workflow is not enough
– Entire pipeline must be taken into
account
• Data transforms
• Feature extraction & pre-processing
• DL / ML model
• Prediction transformation
– Even ETL is part of the pipeline!
– Pipelines in frameworks
• scikit-learn
• Spark ML pipelines
• TensorFlow Transform
• pipeliner (R)

Source of changes
Dependencies
Changes come from:
• Our code
• Internal dependencies
• 3rd party dependencies
• Data
• Model
• Time
Data Model

Data
– Data types
• Images, video, audio, raw text,
unstructured
– Size
– Schemas
25

Models
– Size of models
– Resource requirements
– Hardware
• CPU, GPU, TPU, Mobile, Edge
– Need to manage and bridge many
different languages, frameworks
– Formats
– State of the art is changing very
rapidly

Monitoring & Feedback
over Time

Monitoring
Performance Business
Monitoring
Software
Traditional software monitoring
Latency, throughput, resource usage, etc
Model performance metrics
Traditional ML evaluation measures
(accuracy, prediction error, AUC etc)
Business metrics
Impact of predictions on business
outcomes
• Additional revenue - e.g. uplift from recommender
• Cost savings – e.g. value of fraud prevented
• Metrics implicitly influencing these – e.g. user
engagement

Feedback
Data
Transform
TrainDeploy
Feedback
Adapt
An intelligent system must automatically
learn from & adapt to the world around it
Continual learning
Retraining, online learning,
reinforcement learning
Feedback loops
Explicit: models create or directly
influence their own training data
Implicit: predictions influence behavior
in longer-term or indirect ways
Humans in the loop

AI Fairness,
Transparency &
Security

What is
MAX?
33
- One place for state-of-art open
source deep learning models
- Wide variety of domains
- Tested code and IP
- Free and open source
- Both trainable and trained versions

MAX and CI/CD
– TravisCI for GitHub repositories
– Jenkins for more complex workflows
• Deploying long-running instances to
Kubernetes
• Periodic jobs
• Trainable model testing (using Watson
Machine Learning service)

Conclusion
– ML Pipelines, not just models
– Need to take into account
• Data
• Models
• Variation over time
• Fairness, explainability,
transparency
– Containers / Kube?
• KubeFlow, MLFlow
• Tekton
