Abstract

With recent advances in computational power, machine learning is positioned to change the way we interact with the world around us. Likewise, a surge of well-maintained machine learning libraries has made it possible for engineers to use machine learning models with minimal background. However, many find that using machine learning responsibly in your company can be harder than it seems. Here, we will discuss some of the challenges that can arise when working with data.
