Abstract

Validation of machine learning algorithms is crucial to ensure that they perform correctly in production environments. In this roundtable, we will discuss the importance of validating algorithms and strategies to ensure that they function well on new, unseen data. The discussion will be based on the speaker’s experience as a data scientist at Gong and will include an opportunity for attendees to share their own experiences and strategies for validating machine learning algorithms in real-world situations.
