Topic

Time for quality ML from event-based data

Abstract

Organizations have been trying to solve problems with ML for years and still it takes 7 - 18 months on average to go from idea to ML model in production. Those that make it are often forgotten and are underperforming or broken for years. But things are changing. Data platforms are maturing, and where success was difficult, it is getting within reach of many organizations.
 
We are now entering a new phase, however. There has been so much investment in the space over the years. We can now build and operate several classes of machine learning, predictably and reliably, and it is within reach of many of us, not just the Big Tech with their unlimited resources. Now is the time to think again about how we can solve the underlying business problems. 
 
Come hear about some top level trends. Be wary about building / rebuilding ML platforms. The costs and complexities are very high.
