Keynote by Christian Kästner - From Models to Systems: On the Role of Software Engineering for Machine Learning
Building production systems with machine learning components is challenging and many projects fail when moving into production even when showing initial success with training machine-learned models. Unfortunately data science education focuses narrowly on data analysis, machine-learning algorithms, and model building but rarely engages with how the model may be used as part of a system. Engineering aspects beyond deploying models are often ignored or underappreciated, including requirements engineering, user experience design, planning and testing integration with non-ML components, and planning for evolution, leading to poor outcomes in many real-world projects. Software engineers and data scientists often clash in teams due to different goals, processes, and expectations, finding it hard to effectively coordinate and integrate work. In this talk, I argue for the important roles that software engineers have in machine learning projects that want to move beyond a prototype model. I argue that truly a system-wide perspective is needed if we want to have any hope at making meaningful progress on safety, usability, fairness, or security. I explore the common collaboration problems and discuss strategies to overcome them. This talk is a call for more and better education in this space at the intersection of software engineering and machine learning, as well as for more system-wide research on building software systems with machine-learning components.
