The Power of Data-Centric AI and MLOps

Data-centric AI and MLOps are two important concepts in the field of machine learning operations. While MLOps focuses on ML operations and can involve the model and infrastructure, data-centric AI is more academic and industry-oriented. One major difference between the two is that data-centric AI emphasizes the importance of improving data quality to enhance the AI pipeline. In contrast, MLOps encompasses a wider range of operations and infrastructure improvements. An example of the significance of data-centric AI is its effectiveness in improving machine learning with noisy data and labels, where methods that alter the data outperform methods that alter the model. This highlights the need to focus on improving data quality in certain machine learning problems.
