Staying Alert: How to Implement Continuous Testing for Machine Learning Models
Emeli Dral

Proper monitoring of machine learning models in production is essential to avoid performance issues. Setting up monitoring can be easy for a single model, but it often becomes challenging at scale or when you face alert fatigue based on many metrics and dashboards.

In this talk, I will introduce the concept of test-based ML monitoring. I will explore how to prioritize metrics based on risks and model use cases, integrate checks in the prediction pipeline and standardize them across similar models and model lifecycle. I will also take an in-depth look at batch model monitoring architecture and the use of open-source tools for setup and analysis.
