The speakers discuss the challenges faced by machine learning teams developing solutions for medical applications due to regulatory burdens. They highlight the importance of robustly describing the system and validating ML systems to meet performance parameters. They also address the impact of software supply chain management on accuracy, reliability, and cybersecurity in healthcare.
Summary
Software systems power much of the modern world. For applications that impact the safety and well-being of people there is an extra set of precautions that need to be addressed before deploying to production. If machine learning and AI are part of that application then there is a greater need to validate the proper functionality of the models. In this episode Erez Kaminski shares the work that he is doing at Ketryx to make that validation easier to implement and incorporate into the ongoing maintenance of software and machine learning products.
