• Abstract: This chapter is written with the Data Scientist or MLOps professional in mind but can be used as a resource for policy makers, reformists, AI Ethicists, sociologists, and others interested in finding methods that help reduce bias in algorithms. I will take a deployment centered approach with the assumption that the professionals reading this work have already read the amazing work on the implications of algorithms on historically marginalized groups by Gebru, Buolamwini, Benjamin and Shane to name a few. If you have not read those works, I refer you to the "Important Reading for Ethical Model Building" list at the end of this paper as it will help give you a framework on how to think about Machine Learning models more holistically taking into account their effect on marginalized people. In the Introduction to this chapter, I root the significance of their work in real world examples of what happens when models are deployed without transparent data collected for the training process and are deployed without the practitioners paying special attention to what happens to models that adapt to exploit gaps between their training environment and the real world. The rest of this chapter builds on the work of the aforementioned researchers and discusses the reality of models performing post production and details ways ML practitioners can identify bias using tools during the MLOps lifecycle to mitigate bias that may be introduced to models in the real world.

  Large Language Model (LLM) inference is rapidly evolving, presenting a unique blend of opportunities and challenges.

This framework identifies the bottlenecks when deploying LLMs on hardware devices and provides a clear understanding of practical problems.

  Learn From Model (LFM) focuses on the research, modification, and design of foundation models (FM) based on the model interface. The study of LFM techniques can be broadly categorized into five major areas: model tuning, model distillation, model reuse, meta learning and model editing. This paper gives a comprehensive review of the current methods based on FM from the perspective of LFM.
