Panel: The Purpose of Machine Learning
In the machine learning world, there is no shortage of buzzwords. Each trend follows the next in rapid succession, during the panel we will discuss how and when our panelists decide to pick up on a trend and when to focus on proven technology. We delve into these decisions based on their definition of success and company goals.
During the session, we hope to find promising trends to pick up on and to pinpoint the similarities and differences between a data scientist and a software engineer in terms of achieving business value.
