Abstract: Recently, machine learning (ML) techniques have been introduced into various domains. This study focuses on projects for the development of ML-based service systems in which ML techniques are applied to enterprise functions. In these projects, constructing reusable knowledge on projects that develop ML-based service systems is important to effectively implement such projects. Here, the collection of insights and development of architecture and design patterns for ML-based service systems are considered. We propose a method for collecting insights by referring to a development model based on project practices and developing patterns for ML projects as an enterprise architecture model. Through a practice, we attempt to collect insights as best practices and construct design patterns for ML projects using the proposed method.

Keywords: Machine learning, ML service system, best practice, pattern
