Machine Learning & Design: a New Frontier in Product Development Talk abstract
Machine Learning has exploded onto the product development scene over the past 5 years. Challenges have arisen for companies building products based on ML components as agreed upon best practices do not yet exist. Similar to how standard development models have changed over time from a waterfall model to an agile one, the model for development of ML based products is quickly changing. We will explore some of the customer-focused techniques and design patterns that can be used by teams building ML products to increase the likelihood of product success. About the speaker
