Drawing from extensive experience in data engineering and machine learning, coupled with hands-on work in the emerging field of GenAI, we will provide insights into the fundamental differences and similarities between these two domains. We'll delve into the core components of a mature MLOps platform, highlighting processes like data preparation, model training, and deployment. Then, we'll contrast these with the emerging architecture of GenAI, exploring concepts of observability, guardrails, and model evaluation techniques. This talk aims to equip you with a deeper understanding of where the focus lies in MLOps—emphasizing operational efficiency and model lifecycle management—and in GenAI—highlighting the demands of AI-driven solutions in production. Whether you're a student, a newly minted professional, or a seasoned expert, this session will provide valuable perspectives on integrating these technologies into your workflow, fostering both operational robustness and creative AI capabilities.

Building LEGO Castles Instead of Sandcastles: A Tale of Modularity in Data & ML Systems Anton Gollbo - Data/ML Engineer, Netlight Building reliable and scalable machine learning systems is challenging, especially when workflows rely on fragile, tightly coupled scripts and notebooks. These "sandcastle-like" systems—where every component depends on the exact state of the whole—break easily, slowing down iteration and making debugging painful. Without clear modularity, small changes can cause unintended failures, leading to rigid, hard-to-maintain pipelines that don't scale well. To address this, we shift towards a LEGO-like approach, where ML systems are built from small, interchangeable, and testable components. By designing modular pipelines with well-defined boundaries—such as independent data processing, feature engineering, model training, and evaluation steps—our goal is to create flexible and reusable workflows. This talk explores the journey from tightly coupled systems to composable architectures, showing how modular design enables faster iteration, greater reliability, and long-term scalability in ML development. Speakers Bio: Anton is a consultant at Netlight, bringing extensive experience from data and machine learning projects. His professional journey has taken him through various stages of the data and ML lifecycle, cultivating an interest in constructing systems that are both data-intensive and designed for easy testing and modularity. – About the event Date: March 27th , 17:30 - 20:30 Location: Netlight Consulting AB, Regeringsgatan 25, 111 53 Stockholm.

In case of any urgent changes please leave us a note via [email protected] . Don't forget to bring your ID for the security check. Agenda: 18:00 - 18:05 - Meeting boarding 18:05 - 18:10 - A few words about PyData 18:10 - 18:50 - Building RAG Systems for Enterprises by Mateusz Hordyński 18:50 - 19:35 - Unlocking Efficiency: AI-Driven Email Classification for Salesforce Customer Support by Michał Papaj & Marek Blok 19:35 - Finger food! & Networking About "Building RAG Systems for Enterprises" Operationalizing Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems at scale presents unique challenges, including the need for seamless integration, customization, and adaptability to diverse organizational requirements. Let's discuss lessons we've learned from deploying these solutions, explore essential tools every RAG developer should have at their disposal, and identify common pitfalls to avoid. I'll also explain why we've decided to open-source ragbits—our collection of foundational building blocks for GenAI applications. Mateusz Hordyński - bio I'm a software engineer who specializes in creating big data architectures for both cloud and on-premises setups. Currently, I'm a Technical Leader at deepsense.ai, where I design generative AI applications and build data pipelines to support them. I'm also the lead maintainer of the open-source project db-ally. Outside of work, I try to live the digital nomad lifestyle, which has taught me how to work remotely from some pretty weird office setups. About "Unlocking Efficiency: AI-Driven Email Classification for Salesforce Customer Support" As the shipping and logistics industry continues to adopt artificial intelligence to enhance operational efficiency, companies like Hapag-Lloyd are exploring innovative applications of AI to automate tasks, optimize logistics, and improve customer support. This presentation begins with a brief introduction to the AI initiatives that Hapag-Lloyd is engaged in, followed by a case study on one of the key areas of focus for our company which is the efficient classification of the high volume of emails we receive daily. This classification task is crucial for effective customer support in Salesforce (SF) but our current setup struggles with accurate classification of emails, leading to performance problems. Our analysis of internal data reveals significant imbalances in classes distribution, performance differences across areas and languages, and the need for improved data preprocessing. The limitations of Salesforce's built-in classification models, including the lack of preprocessing, limited training case selection, and blackbox models, led us to explore the development of a custom model. We will present our adventure towards development of an improved custom AI-driven email classification model, including the creation of a ground truth dataset and leveraging BERT. Our results show promising improvements in classification accuracy, and we will discuss our plans for integrating our custom model with Salesforce. Michał Papaj - bio Michał Papaj is a Data Scientist at Hapag-Lloyd. His current focus is on vessel schedule maintenance, although he has been involved in a range of AI projects over the past two years. Prior to joining Hapag-Lloyd, Michal worked at Intel, where he contributed to the development of speech-to-text solutions. He holds a Ph.D. in the area of Digital Signal Processing. Marek Blok - bio Marek Blok is a Data Scientist at Hapag-Lloyd, who for almost two years has been developing AI solutions for berth load prediction and customer email classification. Prior to joining Hapag-Lloyd, Marek worked at the Gdańsk University of Technology, where he completed a PhD and DSc in Digital Signal Processing, with a focus on standard and ML-aided digital signal processing and analysis of telecommunication signals.
