But the next steps can be much harder.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Now the team must expose the algorithm to more \u2014 often many more \u2014 use cases. The stakes are high. The model can\u2019t go into production if it isn\u2019t able to navigate the greater complexity and diversity of this second stage,&#8221; the new report states.<\/p>\n<p>One of the obstacles with machine learning training data is that you can count on each additional use case requiring as much, or more\u00a0data than the single use case in the proof of concept.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;For example, when clients ask us to prepare the training data required to get to ROI, it is not uncommon for us to label and annotate hundreds of thousands or even millions of data items,&#8221; Alegion points out.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_22314\" style=\"width: 280px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-22314\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" wp-image-22314\" src=\"https:\/\/insidebigdata.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/shutterstock_1012126252-1-e1552928906193.jpg\" alt=\"machine learning training data\" width=\"270\" height=\"152\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-22314\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Alegion&#8217;s new report acts\u00a0as a &#8220;pre-flight checklist&#8221; for data science teams that are contemplating preparing their own machine learning training data.

The checklist can then serve as a tool to measure enterprises&#8217; level of preparedness for this type of endeavor.<\/p>\n<p>Alegion explains when interacting with clients, it often encounters similar scenarios. The project is often highly visible within the company, data science teams are trying to get the model to a level of confidence that will let them to put it into production, and they\u2019re preparing the training dataset themselves \u2014 witch can be an overwhelming task. Sometimes, this results in going over budget, and falling behind schedule.<\/p>\n<p>That said, there is a structure and checklist Alegion contends makes it easier to address creating machine learning data. This includes steps covering tools, people and skills. For example, do you have a task and workflow management platform? Or, do you know how many data specialists you need? Does your team have task and workflow design skills?<\/p>\n<p><em>To answer these questions and more, download the new report from Alegion, <a href=\"https:\/\/insidebigdata.com\/white-paper\/blueprint-machine-learning-training\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">&#8220;A Blueprint for Preparing Your Own Machine Learning Training Data,&#8221;<\/a> to walk through a checklist to review before helping your enterprise take the next step in machine learning.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Machine learning is often key to success for today&#8217;s institutions that rely heavily on data for success.
