Self-Assembling Machine Learning Environment (SAME) // David Aronchick // Meetup #73 short clip

MLOps community meetup #73 with David Aronchick, Program Manager, Azure Innovations, at Microsoft about The SAME Project: A Cloud Native Approach to Reproducible Machine Learning. "What is Self-Assembling Machine Learning Environment or SAME? All sorts of various solutions are already out there and I'm trying to embed those in a way that doesn't require a data scientist to understand them. We just basically built an abstraction layer on top of that. This is a classic example of me just building on the shoulders of giants." - David Aronchick //Abstract We live in a time of both feast and famine in machine learning. Large organizations are publishing state-of-the-art models at an ever-increasing rate but the average data scientist faces daunting challenges to reproduce the results themselves. Even in the best cases, where a newly forked code runs without syntax errors (often not the case), this only solves a part of the problem as the pipelines used to run the models are often completely excluded. The Self-Assembling Machine Learning Environment (SAME) project is a new project and community around a common goal: creating tooling that allows for quick ramp-up, seamless collaboration, and efficient scaling. David is so thrilled to discuss their initial public release, done in collaboration with data scientists from across the spectrum, where they are going next, and how people can use their learnings in their own practices. //Bio David leads works in the Azure Innovation Office on Machine Learning. This means he spends most of his time helping humans to convince machines to be smarter. David is only moderately successful at this. Previously, David led product management for Kubernetes on behalf of Google, launched Google Kubernetes Engine, and co-founded the Kubeflow project. David has also worked at Microsoft, Amazon, and Chef and co-founded three startups. When not spending too much time in service of electrons, he can be found on a mountain (on skis), travel
