Test Driven Machine Learning - Detlef D Nauck, Chief Research Scientist, BT Technology

Data Scientists and machine learning specialists are familiar with testing principles during the model building phase like cross-validation, but they are often unfamiliar with test-driven software engineering principles. While testing a learned model gives an idea how well it might perform on unseen data this is not sufficient for model deployment. Trying to learn from test driven software development practices we look across the machine learning life cycle to understand where we need to test and how this c
