Abstract
The development of machine learning (ML) enabled applications in industrial settings is reported to be challenging. Prominent and experienced data-driven online organizations, like Google, are increasingly sharing knowledge of best practices and toolchains for developing ML-enabled applications. However, little is known about the state of the practice in other types of organizations. In this talk, I will present the results of our works on the state of practice in selected organizations from Sweden and Finland. The result shows a high adoption rate of some practices and tools, especially in the management of ML model experiments. However, the field needs to define and establish practices and tools for the end-to-end testing of ML systems and monitoring of ML models in production.
