Following the great interest in continuing the work of the HLG-MOS Machine Learning Project, UK Office of National Statistics (ONS) is launching the Machine Learning Group 2021. The new ML group will focus on developing and implementing ML for official statistics (see slides below for presentation and live survey conducted during the HLG-MOS ML Project webinar)

The Journey
Moving from idea to valid solution (demonstration)
Moving from valid solution to production (Operationalisation)
Workstream 1: Support current studies towards production; welcome new studies in other processes (e.g. record linkage) and/or data sources (e.g. satellite data)
Supported by
Quality (accuracy, timeliness, efficiency, explainability and reproducibility)
Workstream 7 : Create/maintain a network of data science unit leaders; Workstream 8: Beyond 2021: How can we better prepare for next 2-5 years? What technology and data sources can we expect? What skills will we need?
