Many organizations start their machine learning (ML) journey with high hopes, but the lived experiences of many ML practitioners tell us that the journey of delivering ML solutions is riddled with traps, quicksand, and even seemingly insurmountable barriers. When we peel back the hype and the glamorous claims of being the sexiest job of the 21st century, we often see ML practitioners bogged down by burdensome manual work, team silos, and complex, brittle and unwieldy solutions.
This hinders the delivery of value to customers and also frustrates an organization’s investments and ambitions in AI.
To address these challenges, Effective Machine Learning Teams draws on the authors’ experience across real-world data and ML projects to distill the proven techniques that will help your teams reduce friction, shorten feedback cycles and deliver value reliably when building ML solutions.
