Machine Learning (ML) is increasingly applied across various domains, addressing tasks such as predictive analytics, anomaly detection, and decision-making. Many of these applications share similar underlying tasks, offering potential for systematic reuse. However, existing reuse in ML is often fragmented, small-scale, and ad hoc, focusing on isolated components such as pretrained models or datasets without a cohesive framework. Product Line Engineering (PLE) is a well-established approach for achieving large-scale systematic reuse in traditional engineering. It enables efficient management of core assets like requirements, models, and code across product families. However, traditional PLE is not designed to accommodate ML-specific assets—such as datasets, feature pipelines, and hyperparameters—and is not aligned with the iterative, data-driven workflows of ML systems. To address this gap, we propose Machine Learning Product Line Engineering (ML PLE), a framework that adapts PLE principles for ML systems. In contrast to conventional ML reuse methods such as transfer learning or fine-tuning, our framework introduces a systematic, variability-aware reuse approach that spans the entire lifecycle of ML development, including datasets, pipelines, models, and configuration assets. The proposed framework introduces the key requirements for ML PLE and the lifecycle process tailored to machine-learning-intensive systems. We illustrate the approach using an industrial case study in the context of space systems, where ML PLE is applied for data analytics of satellite missions. Full article
