Description

The capabilities of Machine Learning and Data Science algorithms are improving very quickly and promise to positively impact many sectors of our lives. However, a lot of this potential is hard to realize in practice. Large engineering organizations can afford to build their own Machine Learning systems that allow them to develop and exploit these algorithms for real-world problems. However, small and medium-sized companies struggle to move past the proof-of-concept stage and find the right tools and processes to develop, deploy and monitor ML-centered products reliably. Challenges revolve around product definition, data collection, training in the low-data regime, tracking and operations, reliable deployment, and ethical implications. 

    Giacomo will review these challenges and a few strategies for small or medium-sized organizations to fully realize the potential of ML in real-world applications.
