Towards optimal experimentation in online systems

The Unofficial Google Data Science Blog

If $Y$ at that point is (statistically and practically) significantly better than our current operating point, and that point is deemed acceptable, we update the system parameters to this better value. Figure 2: Spreading measurements out makes estimates of model (slope of line) more accurate. And sometimes even if it is not[1].)

Analytics On The Bleeding Edge: Transforming Data's Influence

Occam's Razor

From 2006: Is Real-Time Analytics Really Relevant? ). In our in-flight optimization journey thus far, we have worked to identify signals that are believable, and identifying at which point they become believable (ex: statistically significant). You have the start of a fabulous in-flight optimization engine.

Our quest for robust time series forecasting at scale

The Unofficial Google Data Science Blog

For us, demand for forecasts emerged from a determination to better understand business growth and health, more efficiently conduct day-to-day operations, and optimize longer-term resource planning and allocation decisions. Selection and aggregation of forecasts from an ensemble of models to produce a final forecast.

Data Science, Past & Future

Domino Data Lab

how “the business executives who are seeing the value of data science and being model-informed, they are the ones who are doubling down on their bets now, and they’re investing a lot more money.” He was saying this doesn’t belong just in statistics. Key highlights from the session include. Transcript. Tukey did this paper.

Building a Named Entity Recognition model using a BiLSTM-CRF network

Domino Data Lab

In this blog post we present the Named Entity Recognition problem and show how a BiLSTM-CRF model can be fitted using a freely available annotated corpus and Keras. The model achieves relatively high accuracy and all data and code is freely available in the article. How to build a statistical Named Entity Recognition (NER) model.

Using random effects models in prediction problems

The Unofficial Google Data Science Blog

KUEHNEL, and ALI NASIRI AMINI In this post, we give a brief introduction to random effects models, and discuss some of their uses. Through simulation we illustrate issues with model fitting techniques that depend on matrix factorization. Random effects models are a useful tool for both exploratory analyses and prediction problems.
