Presentation:
Hardcore Data Science in Practice

What does it take to put data science into practice? Machine Learning courses usually focus mostly on the algorithms at hand, but there are a lot more aspects to consider if you want to “do Data Science” at a big company like Zalando. In this talk I cover different aspects like how to go from a basic algorithm to a production system, how to set up cross-functional engineering and data science teams, cultural differences between exploratory work from data scientists and system building work from classical engineering, and how to close the gap from a business product to a machine learning problem.
