The theme of this talk is centered around Machine Learning from an engineering perspective. Here, accuracy is often the least interesting aspect of model selection, and very few real-world use cases depend on some 0.01% improved accuracy on ImageNet. This talk will demonstrate a particular project at Ericsson for predicting mobility in telecommunications networks. The use case will be used as a demonstrator in terms of the impact of model selection on the final task, and the sometimes very large implications a seemingly simple model choice will make on the final solution. If time (and audience) permits, the speaker will also go through a custom wait-free implementation of a sparse graph utilizing approximate updates implemented for this particular use case.
