What a Machine Learning Scientist does
Develops new machine learning models and methods, working closer to research than a typical data scientist or ML engineer. The machine learning scientist reads and extends the literature, designs experiments, trains and evaluates models, and works with engineers to bring the successful ones into products. Problems are often open-ended, such as improving a recommender, a language model, or a forecasting system beyond known baselines.
