Turning machine learning research into products for industry
Turning machine learning research into products for industry

Abstract: 

Reza Zadeh details three challenges on the way to building cutting-edge ML products, with a focus on computer vision, offering examples, recommendations, and lessons learned. 1) Since ML is all about approximation, it can be difficult to assess when a research result is good enough for the industry. 2) Building systems that scale ML models in production is a challenge on its own. Although a model may work in the lab, scaling it to millions of users may be impossible without further research. 3) Building good user interfaces for ML products is crucial. Since ML researchers often don’t have a background in user-focused design, they tend to underestimate the importance of good UX design.
