Setting up for success with ML
Everything is labelled as AI these days. We want to get past the marketing and dig into the details of when teams should investigate AI solutions, the pitfalls that they need to look out for and the best practices for ensuring successful outcomes. Moderated by Adam Bermingham, this panel will discuss when and where to best leverage machine learning for maximum product team productivity.
Knowledge Is Power. Make Machine Learning Your Superpower
Spotify has used Machine Learning solutions in its products since the early days. Recommending content is the most obvious place where Machine Learning solutions flourished at Spotify early on. We had seen the benefits of ML powered solutions and had a large appetite for delivering more value to our customers. But we also saw the costs of democratizing Machine Learning solutions across the organization. We knew that Machine Learning solutions require a conscious, informed decision by all stakeholders of a product. So how did Spotify promote exploration and conscious use of Machine Learning? We will share 3 lessons learnt a year of running a Machine Learning training for all members of RnD from product to research, to engineering and design.
