Danielle Dean, Technical Director of Machine Learning at iRobot, presents the “Optimizing ML Systems for Real-World Deployment” tutorial at the May 2021 Embedded Vision Summit.
In the real world, machine learning models are components of a broader software application or system. In this talk, Dean explores the importance of optimizing the system as a whole–not just optimizing individual ML models.
Based on experience building and deploying deep-learning-based systems for one of the largest fleets of autonomous robots in the world (the Roomba!), Dean highlights critical areas requiring attention for system-level optimization, including data collection, data processing, model building, system application and testing. She also shares recommendations for ways to think about and achieve optimization of the whole system.
