Abstract

bots Deep learning deployment devops empirical study mlops Intelligent Agents or Systems Machine Learning
Machine learning (ML) operations or MLOps advocates for integration of DevOps- related practices into the ML development and deployment process. Adoption of MLOps can be hampered due to a lack of knowledge related to how development tasks can be automated. A characterization of bot usage in ML projects can help practitioners on the types of tasks that can be automated with bots, and apply that knowledge into their ML development and deployment process. To that end, we conduct a preliminary empirical study with 135 issues reported mined from 3 libraries related to deep learning: Keras, PyTorch, and Tensorflow. From our empirical study we observe 9 categories of tasks that are automated with bots. We conclude our work-in-progress paper by providing a list of lessons that we learned from our empirical study.
