Hi all,
Long time no see! Six years ago, I moved to Ontario, where the bagels taste like dust and the poutine comes with shredded mozzarella. I'll be back in Montréal in August for RE'26, and the tutorial we're running might be of interest to some of you if you plan to attend RE this year.
**Validating Requirements of Machine Learning Pipelines with Justification Models**
Monday, August 17, 09:00 to 12:30, Room E2021, ÉTS
It's hands-on and aimed at anyone who builds, audits, or governs ML pipelines. We'll show how to capture the rationale behind pipeline design using justification models and the jPipe language (
https://www.jpipe.org/), then wire that validation into your CI/CD workflow so decision drift gets caught early instead of during an audit. You'll leave with an approach you can try on your own pipeline.
The conference itself runs August 17 to 21 at ÉTS, and we'll be there Monday/Tuesday, so if you're around, come for the tutorial (there will be goodies), or simply to say hi between sessions!
Cheers
Seb
