RecSys, Topic Modeling and Agents: Bridging the GenAI-Traditional ML Divide

The rise of GenAI has led to a complete reinvention of how we conceptualize Data + AI. In this breakout, we will recontextualize the rise of GenAI in traditional ML paradigms, and hopefully unite the pre- and post-LLM eras. We will demonstrate when and where GenAI may prove more effective than traditional ML algorithms, and highlight problems for which the wheel is unnecessarily being reinvented with GenAI. This session will also highlight how MLflow provides a unified means of benchmarking traditional ML against GenAI, and lay out a vision for bridging the divide between Traditional ML and GenAI practitioners.
