Description
Detecting data drift, although far from solved-for tabular data, has become a common approach to monitor ML models in production. For Natural Language Processing (NLP) on the other hand the question remains mostly open. In this session, we will present and compare two approaches. In the first approach, we will demonstrate how by extracting a wide range of explainable properties per document such as topics, language, sentiment, named entities, keywords and more we are able to explore potential sources of drift. We will show how these properties can be consistently tracked over time, how they can be used to detect meaningful data drift as soon as it occurs and how they can be used to explain and fix the root cause. The second approach we will present is to detect drift by using the embeddings of common foundation models (such as GPT3 in the Open AI model family) and use them to identify areas in the embedding space in which significant drift has occurred. These areas in embedding space should then be characterized in a human-readable way to enable root cause analysis of the detected drift. We will compare the performance and explainability of these two methods and explore the pros a…

ReleasesDatabricks launches across the Data + AI stack in 90 seconds
Databricks announced LTAP to unify lakebased and lakehouse data, eliminating ETL and enabling a single copy of data for analytical and operational needs. They also introduced Unity AI Gateway for governance, Genie Ontology for enterprise knowledge graphs, and open-sourced Omniant for managing multiple coding agents.
ReleasesIntroducing Omnigent: The Ultimate Meta-Harness for AI Agents
Omnigent is a new open-source meta-harness for AI agents that provides a unified interface for composition, control, and collaboration across multiple models and agent workflows. It enables stateful, data-centric policies for guardrails and allows real-time sharing and steering of live agent sessions with teammates.
NewsHow DEFRA and Natural England Accelerate Peatland Restoration with AI and Databricks
DEFRA and Natural England utilize AI and Databricks to accelerate peatland restoration by automating the mapping of peatland features and peat dams across England. This technology significantly reduces the time required for mapping, enabling faster identification and restoration of these crucial carbon-storing habitats.
NewsAI Stack Explained in 3 Layers (LLM, Agent Harness, Omnigent)
The AI stack now includes a third layer, the meta harness, which sits above individual agent harnesses. This meta harness, exemplified by Databricks' open-sourced Omnigent, allows for routing queries to appropriate agents and orchestrating tasks across multiple agents, enabling seamless interaction and context sharing between them.
