"Doing large scale ML in production is hard" Everyone who's tried
This talk is focussed on ML Systems. Especially the less obvious pitfalls, which have caused us troubles at Spotify.

This talk assumes a certain level of familiarity with ML: You'll get the most out of if you've some experience with applied ML, ideally on production systems.
