Towards optimal experimentation in online systems

The Unofficial Google Data Science Blog

If the relationship of $X$ to $Y$ can be approximated as quadratic (or any polynomial), the objective and constraints as linear in $Y$, then there is a way to express the optimization as a quadratically constrained quadratic program (QCQP). Crucially, it takes into account the uncertainty inherent in our experiments.

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. Quantification of forecast uncertainty via simulation-based prediction intervals.

Data Science, Past & Future

What I’m trying to say is this evolution of system architecture, the hardware driving the software layers, and also, the whole landscape with regard to threats and risks, it changes things. You see these drivers involving risk and cost, but also opportunity. They’re being told they have to embrace uncertainty.
