would love to learn a new language but with time constraints I'll stick to my strength which is R. But I challenge myself to use only the base language and not install any additional packages. Because I like pain?

Maintaining ML models is like doing laundry -- it never ends! @juliasilge with the harsh realities of data science life.

ML has both software AND statistical properties. Failures in statistical performance can be *silent*.

Data drift (inputs changing) and concept drift (feature vs outcome relationships changing) are sneaky sources of changes over time.

Watch out - deploying a model may cause drift via feedback loops!

The slides are so good: https://juliasilge.github.io/ml-maintenance-2023/#/title-slide
