85% of Machine Learning projects fail (according to Gartner) and we want to talk about pivotal decisions you need to make that will make or break your ML project. The goal of this talk is to ignite conversation about delivering solutions to customers' problems in a world of imperfect data.
In the last 4 years we've been working on extracting value from the data OpenShift clusters stream. One of our projects goes live around DevConf (June 2023): predicting if an OpenShift cluster will have issues during its next upgrade and giving admins advise on what needs to be addressed.
