The presentation discusses the challenges faced by ML engineers at Meta in managing and deploying machine learning models in production. The speakers highlight the complexities of the stack of ML systems and the need for a holistic approach to reliability. They also discuss the importance of snapshot validation as the first line of defense to prevent bad quality snapshots from being deployed in the inference system.\r\n
\r\nThe authors then describe the journey of ML oncall improvements they have rolled out, including snapshot validation improvements, introducing the Model Operations Tool, and future plans such as intelligent recommendations, creating service level objectives on models, and more. They emphasize the importance of building empathy with the audience they are trying to solve the problem for, coding as the answer, and moving fast with safety.\r\n
\r\nOverall, the presentation provides valuable insights into the challenges and solutions for managing and deploying machine learning models in production at Meta.\r\n <\/p>\r\n<\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

badges. At this quantities, the attendee badges parts cost about $1.3 each, and the volunteer badges cost about $26 each.<\/p><p>Moreover, there’s some alternate suppliers and variations that help optimize for cost. I’ll share some of those once I figure out how to best format the spreadsheets to reflect that.<\/p><p>For example, for the volunteer badges, the TFT Display is the most expensive single part. Acquiring them from AliExpress offers a lower cost solution, the displays can be acquired at about $10 cheaper. Additional capabilities were also discovered using the newest Raspberry Pi Pico 2 and Pico 2W, which cost $5 and $7 respectively. These microcontroller solutions increase the parts cost by $1 to $3 respectively. So the volunteer badge parts cost can be obtained at around $20 each.<\/p><p>Note that bare PCBs and assembly are not being factored into this calculation costs. PCBWay sponsored the PCBs, so they had no cost for the conference. Assembly was done manually by volunteers. At high quantities (500 pieces), bare PCB cost is about $2 each. At lower quantities (i.e. 50 pieces), bare PCB cost is about $5 each.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div data-particle_enable=\"false\"

was to bring together a diverse selection of individuals and technical projects so people from around the country could learn best practices for technical projects and find inspiration for future work. We have noticed that students face many challenges when integrating technical work in their IEEE student branch activities when it comes to funding, project inspiration, and sourcing hands-on technical knowledge. The project showcase aimed to address these issues through bringing both simple and advanced projects together into one room so schools could learn how to effectively integrate technical work into their student branch activities.<\/span><\/p><h3><b>Beneficiaries<\/b><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This work benefits all students who attended the Rising Stars conference. In addition to giving the showcase participants an opportunity to present their work, attendees of the conference who were not presenting could also view the projects and ask questions about their design and development. The visitors of the showcase included students, young professionals, and many senior industry professionals.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">We also collaborated with IEEE EPICS, and all three of their sponsored projects who participated won awards in the showcase. It is too early to see the whole impact of this, but we hope that this provided publicity for EPICS and the opportunities available in their programs.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The schools that won awards also benefited, as we were able to provide monetary prizes thanks to funding from the IEEE Foundation. The 7 schools that won awards all received $200 in Amazon gift cards to use towards funding future student branch activities.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e07b2a7 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"e07b2a7\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-934f315 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"934f315\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"619\" height=\"199\" src=\"https:\/\/ieee-risingstars.org\/2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/winners.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-2411\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ieee-risingstars.org\/2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/winners.png 619w, https:\/\/ieee-risingstars.org\/2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/winners-370x119.png 370w, https:\/\/ieee-risingstars.org\/2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/winners-187x60.png 187w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 619px) 100vw, 619px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">2024 Project Showcase w\\Winners<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6c747b4 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"6c747b4\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6369b3f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6369b3f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3><b>Intended Outcomes<\/b><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The primary intended outcome of the event was to aid students in progressing the technical components of their IEEE branch activities. There were several avenues through which we aimed to achieve this.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Firstly, teams were meant to learn from each other how to best build projects in a university setting. Through seeing how other programs approached technical work, we hope that conversations between participants will lead to their own future work to become stronger. For example, there were 3 schools with Micromouse programs, and having them in the same room hopefully encouraged them to work together, share best practices, and potentially co-host competitions.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Secondly, visitors of the showcase could see what is possible in a university setting. There were schools from all over the country \u2014 and even one from Panama \u2014 demonstrating that technical achievement is possible in all kinds of contexts.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Third, students rarely have an opportunity to present their own work, especially when it comes to physical projects. Often, students attend talks where industry professionals or established professors present their research, but students do not often get to showcase their own achievements. The project showcase was meant to be that unique opportunity and give students the confidence to continue in their technical endeavors.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-02a3fd9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"02a3fd9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"256\" height=\"372\" src=\"https:\/\/ieee-risingstars.org\/2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/hydrationstation.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-2410\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ieee-risingstars.org\/2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/hydrationstation.png 256w, https:\/\/ieee-risingstars.org\/2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/hydrationstation-191x278.png 191w, https:\/\/ieee-risingstars.org\/2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/hydrationstation-41x60.png 41w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 256px) 100vw, 256px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">ASU Hydration Station Project<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8928160 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"8928160\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3><b>Assessment<\/b><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Although most of our objectives are non-quantifiable and long-term, we do believe that we were successful in achieving our goals. The feedback we received from participants and attendees was overwhelmingly positive, and the students seemed to greatly enjoy the opportunity to showcase their work.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">An unexpected outcome we noticed was that many schools indicated that the showcase was an important milestone for them and helped encourage them to get their project to a presentable state. For example, North Carolina State University (NCSU) learned to repackage their project (electric wheelchair assistance) into a more portable and robust form factor because they knew they would have to transport it from North Carolina to Nevada for the showcase. Texas A&M was another school that was just starting their first project, and it seemed like having the showcase as something they had been planning for since early Summer motivated them to put more effort into project development.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In total, we had 9 schools participate with a total of 20 projects. The participating schools were:<\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">UC Los Angeles (5 projects)<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">UC San Diego (5 projects)<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">University of Florida (3 projects)<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">UC Berkeley (2 projects)<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">UC Irvine (1 project)\u00a0<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">North Carolina State University (1 project)<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Arizona State University (1 project)<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Universidad Tecnol\u00f3gica de Panam\u00e1 (1 project)<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Texas A&M University (1 project)<\/span><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">We involved 6 judges in the event which included IEEE President Tom Coughlin, IEEE Region 6 Director Kathy Hayashi, and IEEE Foundation representative Eileen Heltzer.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The conference as a whole had 340 attendees and 17 sponsors, and we believe that a large portion of them visited the showcase thanks to its central location in the main conference hall.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bc01d58 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"bc01d58\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"454\" height=\"301\" src=\"https:\/\/ieee-risingstars.org\/2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/epics.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-2409\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ieee-risingstars.org\/2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/epics.png 454w, https:\/\/ieee-risingstars.org\/2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/epics-370x245.png 370w, https:\/\/ieee-risingstars.org\/2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/epics-90x60.png 90w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 454px) 100vw, 454px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">IEEE President Tom Coughlin talking with an EPICS project from Panama<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3fdb16f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"3fdb16f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3><b>Future Work<\/b><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">We had extremely positive feedback from the participants, judges, and volunteer staff.
