Deep dives

Fast Integration of Machine Learning into Production

In traditional science, the norm was that research would take years or decades before making its way into production. However, in the field of machine learning, we are witnessing a much faster cycle where research is being applied to production in just a matter of months or even days. This rapid integration between science and production is seen as the main driver for the speed of progress in machine learning, and it is hoped that this cycle continues in the future.
