Ship ML like it matters.
Now in its 6th iteration, we are back to answer the core question: Can a student team take a model from dataset → deployment → monitoring in one semester and create a real product? Can they wire up evals, CI/CD, and cost controls that hold up under scrutiny? Want to see ML that’s actually measurable?

Yes. Come watch it happen - live.

See 30 graduate teams from Northeastern University demo production-minded ML systems: streaming/batch pipelines, model testing, canary + rollback, drift detection, LLMOps with eval harnesses and guardrails, dashboards for latency/cost/SLA, and more. No slide fluff, working systems with hard constraints and real trade-offs.

What You’ll See

ML & GenAI that’s measurable: predictive models, retrieval quality, failure cases, and how they fixed them.
Pipelines that survive reality: lineage, reproducibility, data contracts.
CI/CD for models: tests, canaries, rollbacks, contracts.
Observability that matters: latency budgets, drift alerts, SLO dashboards.
Cost wins: quantization, caching, autoscaling, and utilization.

Who Should Come

ML/AI & Platform Engineers • Data/Infra • SRE/DevOps • Product/Tech Leads • Founders • Recruiters • Anyone serious about shipping ML.
