Abstract:

Both the AutoML community, and the wider ML community continue to focus on a very narrow set of tasks for ML, that are quite removed from everyday challenges of a Data Scientist. I will give a brief tour of what I see as mismatches in both tasks and available datasets between practitioners and ML researchers, with pointers to some explorations I have done in recent years, and areas where I think more datasets and more research are necessary.
