The rules of business are being rewritten because of abundant data and compute power, and machine learning research and incubation projects are everywhere. Less common, and far more valuable, is the innovation unlocked once you bring machine learning out of research and into production. But how do you easily build and operationalize machine learning systems at scale?

Dinesh Nirmal explains how real-world machine learning reveals assumptions embedded in business processes and in the models themselves that cause expensive and time-consuming misunderstandings.

This keynote is sponsored by IBM.
