Nikhil Garg, Software Engineering Manager at Quora, for one, notes that \u201cmost would agree that the single biggest bottleneck for all machine learning is software engineering. We all collectively in the tech industry are still figuring out the best practices, tools, abstractions, and systems that can enable large organizations to innovate in machine learning at a huge data scale.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>J\u00e9r\u00f4me Selles, Director of Data Science at Turo, agrees, and argues that overly high expectations could even be damaging. In a recent interview with us, he noted that \u201cwhen it comes to applications of machine learning, the expectations are usually very high. The full lifecycle of a machine learning project is not necessarily well understood and that can drive disillusion within an organization and for their users.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Nikhil and J\u00e9r\u00f4me will be presenting alongside more than 20 other experts from world-leading organizations at the upcoming <a href=\"https:\/\/theinnovationenterprise.com\/summits\/machine-learning-summit-san-francisco-2017\/schedule?utm_source=Inside+BIGDATA&amp;utm_medium=PR&amp;utm_term=Schedule&amp;utm_campaign=ML+SF+2017\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Machine Learning Innovation Summit<\/strong><\/a>, which will take place this June 5-6 at the Marriott Union Square in San Francisco.

They will cut through the hype to demonstrate how real businesses can utilize machine learning to their advantage and boost their bottom line.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>This event is only in its second year, and with speakers from the likes of Uber and Google, we hope to build on last year\u2019s attendance of 150 to really provide businesses with a greater knowledge and understanding of how they can use machine learning to its full potential,\u201d said Elliot Pannaman, curator of the event.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Secure your Silver, Gold or Diamond pass <a href=\"https:\/\/theinnovationenterprise.com\/summits\/machine-learning-summit-san-francisco-2017\/registration?utm_source=Inside+BIGDATA&amp;utm_medium=PR&amp;utm_term=Registration&amp;utm_campaign=ML+SF+2017\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>here<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><i><em>Sign up for the free insideBIGDATA\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/insidebigdata.com\/newsletter\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">newsletter<\/a>.<\/em><\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Businesses are ultimately still at an early stage with their machine learning adoption and understanding its capabilities.
