Level 3 (Apply)

  • Apply existing machine learning techniques to new problems and datasets.
  • Evaluate the outcomes and performance of machine learning systems.
  • Identify issues and recommend improvements to machine learning systems and the data they use.

Level 4 (Ensure)

  • Given a well-described problem and dataset, assess whether machine learning is likely to provide an effective solution.
  • Implement algorithms developed by others.
  • Advise on the effectiveness of specific techniques, based on project findings and wider research.
  • Contribute to the development, evaluation, monitoring and deployment of machine learning systems.
  • Understand and apply rules and guidelines specific to the industry, and anticipate risks and other implications of modelling.
  • Design, implement, test and improve machine learning architectures and systems.
  • Select techniques based on a breadth of knowledge of the strengths, weaknesses and expected performance of different approaches.
  • Establish good practice in the development, evaluation, monitoring and deployment of machine learning systems.

Level 5 (Strategise)

  • Lead the development of new approaches and organisational capabilities to design, train, and evaluate machine learning systems.
  • Set standards and guidelines for the application and traceability of machine learning systems to business problems, and oversees their implementation.
  • Design and oversee organisational policies on the creation, training and use of machine learning systems.
