Introducing a new platform

• Starts with the motivation, then presents the target state

• Motivation:

  Siloed development ---> Redundant WET code   |
                      --> Less robust codebase | --> Suboptimal, slow model builds
                      --> Tribal knowledge     |

• What do we want to achieve?

1. The power of collaboration

- Flexible, standardised workflows to make it interoperable and easy to adopt
- Culture of collaboration to make it inviting to contribute 

2. Centre of excellence

- Machine learning best practices
- Software engineering principles

• Tools:

dataioutils: 
Joy
WIFD: a package for describing and validating data quality constraints
mltrain
mlplot
blanc
mltasks
lazyscribe: a lightweight package for model experiment logging.
