How to work with monitoring black-box systems ‘in the wild’

Over the past 10 years, I have worked on developing deep learning models for wearable EEG, specifically focusing on the ‘toy case’ of high precision sleep monitoring. The past few years, this has culminated in exciting projects, studying how sleep changes over time for people with psychiatric illness, chronic pain, or NASA and ESA astronauts visiting the International Space Station. During these studies, we have collected a lot of experience with how to work with monitoring black-box systems ‘in the wild’.

In this talk, I will share some of these experiences, and discuss which interesting machine learning challenges lay ahead.
