Title: Why do Machine Learning Projects Fail?
Abstract: Up to 85% of ML projects either fail to be deployed or do not live up their expected potential. In the critical infrastructure sector there are three key areas of expertise that are needed for success. The first area is the knowledge and expertise in machine learning tools and techniques. The other two, industrial domain knowledge and operational deployment expertise, are just as important in achieving operational success but are much less frequently considered. This presentation will discuss the impact of industrial domain knowledge and operational deployment expertise on ML projects using lessons learned from actual ongoing and completed projects.
