Abstract
Unfortunately a saying in the ML world is; “Let’s put it in production and then see what happens.” What we say is “Please don’t, don’t just put it in production and see what happens!”
There are a lot of issues that can set a system like this up for failure from the get-go, but, these issues CAN be prevented and finding and fixing those issues earlier means the model will perform better, the overall risk is reduced, and you are building a responsible system.
Our concept is that you should have this testing in place from build through to production. From leakage, accuracy, unintended bias through to drift, robustness, explainability, all this needs to be tested and tested thoroughly. In this talk we will cover some sources of errors, approaches to identifying them as soon as possible and some mitigation strategies.
