Accelerating the ML Lifecycle with Enterprise-Grade Feature Stores

Overview

Explore the challenges and solutions for productionizing real-time machine learning models in enterprise environments in this 29-minute conference talk. Dive into the complexities of ML data engineering and learn how to accelerate the delivery of ML applications using a feature platform. Discover how Spark and DataBricks provide a scalable foundation for data engineering, and understand how a feature platform extends data infrastructure to support ML-specific requirements. Gain insights from Atlassian's successful deployment of a feature platform for real-time, ML-driven personalization and search services. Learn about managing feature transform logic, generating high-quality training sets, and implementing end-to-end feature lifecycle management. Explore a practical example of automated content categorization in Jira to see these concepts in action.

Managing sprawling and disconnected feature transform logic
Building high-quality training sets from messy data
Configuration-based training data set generation through simple APIs
1 Configure what features you want in a training dataset
Built-in row-level time travel for accurate training data
End-to-End Feature Lifecycle Management
