Building ML Products in Cross Functional Teams
These days the idea that Machine Learning (ML) will bring benefits to a company and its product is largely considered common knowledge. However realizing the promise of ML is not a given, and requires careful consideration of the business outcomes that are to be achieved, coordination of the stakeholders involved, and navigation of the potential pitfalls.
At SmartNews, Product, ML Engineering, Platform Engineering, and Business Development work closely together to attack tricky ML problems.
Join us for a talk about some for the challenges we have faced, and lessons we have learned collaborating in a cross-functional environment to ship great ML-powered products.
This event will be conducted in English.
Looking forward to seeing you all.
