Engineering Machines that Learn

We are studying the emerging discipline of Machine Learning Engineering by investigating best practices for developing software systems that include ML components. In this article, we share the research motivation and approach, some initial results, and an invitation to help us by taking our 7-minute online survey on ML Engineering best practices. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is undeniably experiencing a new wave of attention, energy, and sky-high expectations. This wave is driven by the abundance of data that is generated in our connected, digital society, and by the low-barrier availability of enormous computational resources. Among various AI-techniques, Machine Learning (ML) in particular has come to play a key role.
