Stu Bailey, insideBIGDATA – June 30, 2020

In this article, Stu Bailey, Co-Founder and Chief AI Architect of ModelOp, discusses how financial services companies can easily validate multiple AI/ML models and reduce ML project costs by 30% through automation. ModelOps refers to the process of enabling data scientists, data engineers, and IT operations teams to collaborate and scale models across an organization. This drives business value by getting models into production faster and with greater visibility, accountability and control.
