SLIs for ML Models

Lightning Talk: SLIs for ML Models

Presenter: Sunandan Barman, Production Engineer, Meta Platforms

Abstract:

As machine learning (ML) models become increasingly critical to business operations, ensuring their reliability and performance is paramount. This talk explores the challenges of implementing Service Level Objectives (SLOs) for ML models and presents best practices for defining and monitoring custom SLOs that account for ML model specifics.

Using a case study, we demonstrate how implementing SLOs can lead to significant improvements in model accuracy and inference latency. Attendees will learn how to create effective SLOs for their ML models and improve the overall reliability and performance of their machine learning services.
By attending this talk, you will gain a clear understanding of how to ensure the reliability and performance of your ML models, and how to define and monitor SLOs to achieve this goal.
