Machine Learning is here today and is quickly becoming an expected skill of development teams. As a technical leader on your team you need to not only help your team learn how to do machine learning, but also select the right tools, integrate the tools into your tool chain, and understand how to deploy and version machine learning models.

This talk answers these questions using the Microsoft stack as an example. We will walk through my approach to integrating Machine Learning into a team. The topics covered include:

• Where to start, while minimizing investment and risk.
• The spectrum of tools from off the shelf to hand crafted.
• Packaging and deploying your model.
• Integrating your model into your system.
• Other considerations and risks.

You’ll leave with Cameron’s perspective on how to introduce a team to machine learning and how he recommends integrating machine learning into your software development toolkit.
