The Coming Wave of ML Systems

Description

Summary

• AI and ML products now permeate every aspect of our digital lives–from recommendations of what to watch, to divining our search intent, to powering increasingly-present virtual assistants in consumer and enterprise settings.
• While quality improvements are the main focus of traditional ML and AI research, a second and arguably less well understood benefit of machine learning is that it can dramatically reshape the practice of building applications.
• To understand what might be next, perhaps we can take a page from computing history?
• The goal of this post is to introduce the Stanford MLSys Seminar Series to hopefully engage more of the community around ideas to build these systems.
