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.
