The document discusses machine learning in industry. It describes a machine learning continuum with 5 steps from ad-hoc algorithms to deep neural networks. It discusses using data as a specification to iteratively make robots safer by increasing safety 2x, 10 times. It also mentions upcoming publication of a "Data as a specification" manifesto and conducting peer-reviewed analysis. The document is a presentation about machine learning approaches at a company that delivers packages via autonomous robots.

14. It’s almost always a machine learning continuum

15. Solving complex problems
that don't have a well defined solution space

16. Data as a Specification

17. Use case:
Three years ago, we understood that we need to make
robots 1000x safer for the business to be viable

18. Solution:
Make robots 2x safer 10 times.
Use the data as a guiding principle in every step.

20. Change the operating principles

23. Software engineering 1.0
i.e. write some code

24. Software engineering 2.0
i.e. machine learning

25. Change or add hardware

26. Or even change the law of the country

27. Data as a specification
manifesto will be published soon

28. Peer-reviewed analysis
