7 Machine Learning Best Practices

Netflix's famous algorithm challenge awarded a million dollars to the best algorithm for predicting user ratings for films. But did you know that the winning algorithm was never implemented into a functional model? Netflix reported that the results of the algorithm just didn't seem to justify the engineering effort needed to bring them to a production environment. At your company, you can create the most elegant machine learning model anyone has ever seen. That's no easy feat, which is why we're presenting you with seven machine learning best practices.
