Managing Successful Machine Learning Projects Machine learning projects are a different beast. You have to secure access to the required data, often from multiple siloed sources. You have to switch back and forth between research mode and execution mode. You have to delicately guide data exploration towards a well-defined machine learning objective. You have to align this machine learning objective with your business objectives. You have to ensure that any sensitive data is adequately protected. How do you tame this beast and lead your project to successful completion? In this presentation, Dr. Neeraj Kashyap will share some practical tips for succeeding at machine learning, gained from his years at Google and in healthcare. We will discuss the life cycles of healthy machine learning projects and unhealthy ones so that you can identify impending disasters and avert them before they get out of hand.
