A practical case study of ING bank showcasing adoption of production ready real time machine learning capabilities through a risk engine that supports a broad range of ML models, support across multiple environments and higher level interfaces for extensibility.
 
 
 
The London Tech Ethics online meetups is coming back again with an upcoming event covering practical AI ethics from an MLOps perspective by Pacyderm Chief Evangelist Dan Jeffries.
 
 
 
A fantastic list of popular research papers on federated learning covering a broad range of key topics relevant to edge, mobile, privacy-preserving ML and more.
 
 
 
Technical debt is a challenge that goes beyond software very relevant to machine learning systems, this survey provides an interesting perspective from over 200 engineers on technical debt in projects and their impact in teams.
 
 
 
The Gradient Flow team has released an interesting overview of trends on robotic process automation across leading global organisations.
 
 
 
 
 
The topic for this week's featured production machine learning libraries is GPU Acceleration Frameworks. We are currently looking for more libraries to add - if you know of any that are not listed, please let us know or feel free to add a PR. The four featured libraries this week are:
 
  • Kompute - Blazing fast, lightweight and mobile phone-enabled GPU compute framework optimized for advanced  data processing usecases.
  • CuPy - An implementation of NumPy-compatible multi-dimensional array on CUDA. CuPy consists of the core multi-dimensional array class, cupy.ndarray, and many functions on it.
  • Jax - Composable transformations of Python+NumPy programs: differentiate, vectorize, JIT to GPU/TPU, and more
  • CuDF - Built based on the Apache Arrow columnar memory format, cuDF is a GPU DataFrame library for loading, joining, aggregating, filtering, and otherwise manipulating data.
 
If you know of any libraries that are not in the "Awesome MLOps" list, please do give us a heads up or feel free to add a pull request
 
 
 
 
As AI systems become more prevalent in society, we face bigger and tougher societal challenges. We have seen a large number of resources that aim to takle these challenges in the form of AI Guidelines, Principles, Ethics Frameworks, etc, however there are so many resources it is hard to navigate. Because of this we started an Open Source initiative that aims to map the ecosystem to make it simpler to navigate. You can find multiple principles in the repo - some examples include the following:
 
 
If you know of any guidelines that are not in the "Awesome AI Guidelines" list, please do give us a heads up or feel free to add a pull request!
