Elle OBrien: Adapting continuous integration to machine learning

Data Fest Online 2020 ML REPA Track Elle O Brien is a data scientist at Iterative, Inc. (the team behind DVC). Elle is one of the cocreators of the Continuous Machine Learning open source project. She holds a PhD from the University of Washington, where she conducted research in computational neuroscience and speech perception. Continuous integration is a key practice from DevOps that has been demonstrated to speed up development cycles, but hasn t yet found widespread adoption in data science and machine learning projects. Yet continuous integration has many potential applications to machine learning, particularly in model training and testing in productionlike environments.
