Algorithms often need to remove some information to focus on what’s important, to separate the signal from the noise. Sometimes they do this literally: speech recognition algorithms, like those running inside Siri, Alexa and Cortana, first need to filter out your voice from the background noise before they can get to

organization, but a whole community. An example is the NLP community, which often uses a relatively standardized form of the pipeline. Historical efforts of the speech recognition community also have led to a standardized pipeline [90]. In some situations, whole AI communities might be facing the possibility that the current standard pipeline

needs to be changed. For example, the advance of deep learning caused a need for significant changes in the traditional speech recognition pipeline [90]. The ML pipeline’s ossification is compounded if data science and data engineering are in separate groups in the organization. In that situation
