Big data ML best practice



A grab bag of links I have found pragmatically useful in the topsy-turvy world of ML research. Here, where even though we have big data about the world, we still have small data about our own experimental models of the world, because they are so computationally expensive.

The Turing Way by the Alan Turing institute covers many reproducible research/open notebook science ideas which includes some tips applicable to ML research.
