Model Development Lifecycle

About the webinar

The Model Development Lifecycle (MDL) details how data scientists and algorithm projects can comply with the algorithm charter in practice. The MDL is available for anyone to use under a creative commons licence and is designed to be quickly adapted to other users – it could be just what you need to move your algorithm implementation forward quickly. 

During this webinar we will discuss:

  • Exactly what is involved in implementing an operational algorithm in practice
  • Fairness, transparency, simplicity, co-design and change management as key components of a modern algorithm
  • Governance of algorithm projects to manage data science risks and opportunities
