What Professional Machine Learning Engineers ACTUALLY Do

Ғылым және технология

Most people will only show you the highlights of their job, today we will look at what professional Machine Learning Engineers actually do in their life.
We will not only look at the many positive things Machine Learning Engineers experience but also the not-so-positive side, and be honest. And I will share many things you don't know about the job and what differences the many data roles may make to this.
If you enjoyed this video, I would be excited to connect on Twitter or LinkedIn.

    00:00 Most videos about the life of a machine learning engineer show only the highlights, but the reality is that they spend most of their time behind a desk, working on a computer. 00:59 A typical day for a machine learning engineer involves a morning stand-up meeting with the team, discussing problems and plans for the day. There may also be additional discussions and collaboration with team members on infrastructure and project-related issues. 03:27 The day is usually divided between meetings and coding, with meetings involving discussions with stakeholders about model performance, technical discussions about infrastructure, and planning for future projects. 04:53 The job titles in the field of data can vary greatly, and it's important to understand the different roles and levels of variation within a company before joining. 05:23 The distribution of tasks in a machine learning engineer's day can vary, with a mix of machine learning project work, infrastructure work, support, and meetings. These proportions can fluctuate depending on the stage of a project or other factors. 06:22 Machine learning engineers often work on the same type of ML problem for a long time, focusing on a specific domain or use case. They also work on someone else's code base and tend to settle on specific tools and technologies. 07:51 Documentation is an important part of the job, including writing documentation in Confluence, writing emails and messages, and documenting progress and decisions in JIRA. 08:51 Real-world data is often messy and noisy, requiring a lot of data cleaning and dealing with unexpected issues. Finding clear correlations and solutions can be challenging, and many projects may not have the desired outcome. 10:19 Despite the challenges, being a machine learning engineer is still considered one of the best jobs in the world, but it's important to acknowledge the imperfections and not pretend that everything is perfect.

    Hey Sandro, I am looking for a piece of advice. I am a mid level automation QAE in a large company. I want to believe I am pretty technical and in my role I have a lot to do with coding. I’ve been working on transitioning into SDET role, but with AI becoming a the biggest deal in AI I am considering taking a ML bootcamp and trying to land a role as ML SDE. I don’t have a computer science degree and learned everything myself and by working. Do you think it’s realistic to get an ML Engineers role with my background after taking a comprehensive bootcamp?

    What is the value of even trying to solve these real-life problems if, most of the time, there is no solution, no correlation? If my work is not being used, will I risk getting fired?

    Good question, maybe the video is a bit too harsh from that perspective. While very often the correlations that everyone hopes are very strong are a lot weaker than expected (due to various forms of noise, or just generally people being quite optimistic about what they do next). The correlations everyone trivially expects to exist have usually already been exploitet, which led me to the statements in this video, it's not that everything is random, it is just that lot more noise exists in the real world then we would expect. For the value perspective: it is often a lot of value gained, and process optimization or next steps that can be inferred from your work, also the outcome current data may not be enough is a good outcome, because you can optimize the process for your next evaluation in 6months, and killing bad projects early or rephrasing them is valuable in itself. Additionally when dealing with multiple millions ( as most business hiring data scientists etc. do) a few .% are already worth a lot😉

    Hi Maestro, hope you are doing well. I just wanted to ask, if I do masters in computer science...can I have a prospect of becoming ML engineer in the future? P.S. I believe that without becoming a good software engineer, I can't become a good ML engineer. So asked.

    I would say yes i do, but it depends a bit on what 'model building' means. Do i design fully new Ml architectures from scratch -> no. Do i build ml systems that use multiple state of the art algorithms and combine/train and put them into production -> yes. For the rest in between i would say sometimes

    I'm getting my BS in data science currently and will be moving on to get my masters in machine learning. I'm not doing it for all the "fun things" in fact I would dread having to do those things that people consider fun. I'm pursuing this path because I want to sit behind a desk for 6 hours a day (preferably remote work from home) because I've had jobs where I had to wake up at 3 in the morning drag myself to work just to work in the rain at 15 degrees Fahrenheit.
