Pie & AI: Amsterdam: Applying MLOps principles & fairness in production.

Pie & AI is a series of DeepLearning.AI meetups independently hosted by community groups. This event is hosted by event ambassador Brigita Bizjak. Special thanks to their support!

Talk 1: Applying MLOps principles to machine learning models for detecting financial crime

As gatekeepers of the financial system, banks play a crucial role in detecting financial crime. At the same time, criminals continuously reinvent their approaches to hide their activities among dense transaction data. In this talk, we will show how ABN AMRO Bank relies on machine learning solutions in a mature MLOps framework to remain vigilant. We will demonstrate some of our models and explain how we implemented MLOps principles in an open environment, using the example of Transaction Monitoring and covering e.g. supervised/unsupervised learning and model monitoring.

Using Azure and Databricks, our setup facilitates a gradual migration towards a model-driven landscape, driving change from the ground up in how the bank understands its clients to detect financial crime.

Speakers:

• Ivo Everts - Sr Strategic Architect at Databricks
• Saman Amini - Chapter Lead Machine Learning Engineer at ABN AMRO
• Lars Haringa - Machine Learning Lead at ABN AMRO

Talk 2: Can we bring Fairness to production?

What if you optimise for discriminatory power, but end up with unwanted discrimination? In a time where decisions become more automated, regulations are on the horizon, and AI is still maturing, let's talk about ethical implications of data products.

Speaker:

• Rik Helwegen - Data Scientist at Adyen
