AGENDA
6:00 - 7:00 PM — Check-in & Welcome Reception
7:00 - 7:30 PM — Lessons from Building a Real-World Adverse Media Pipeline
Adam Hill, Data Scientist, ComplyAdvantage
LLMs are magical, until they aren’t. Extracting adverse media entities might sound straightforward, but throw in hallucinations, inconsistent outputs, and skyrocketing API costs, and suddenly, that sleek prototype turns into a production nightmare.
Our adverse media pipeline monitors millions of articles a day, sifting through vast amounts of news to identify reports of crimes linked to financial bad actors, money laundering, and other risks. Thanks to GenAI and LLMs, we can tackle this problem in new ways, but deploying these models at scale comes with its own set of challenges: ensuring accuracy, controlling costs, and staying compliant in highly regulated industries.
In this talk, we’ll take you inside our journey to production, exploring the real-world challenges we faced through the lens of key personas you will find in every business. Expect practical insights, cautionary tales, and real-world lessons on making LLMs reliable, scalable, and production-ready.
7:30 - 8:00 PM — Alyx: Lessons Learned from Building and Evaluating a Production Agent
RL Nabors, Developer Relations, Arize AI
We have thousands of customers building agents every day and learn a lot from them, but we learned even more when we built Alyx, our in-product AI assistant for using Arize AX. In this talk we'll share the architecture of Alyx, missteps and roads not taken, and the techniques we used to build a high-quality, performant agent in production.
8:00 - 9:00 PM — Happy Hour & Networking
