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. In isolation, the $x_1$-system is optimal: changing $x_1$ and leaving the $x_2$ at 0 will decrease system performance.

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. Prediction Intervals A statistical forecasting system should not lack uncertainty quantification.

Data Science, Past & Future

Domino Data Lab

He was saying this doesn’t belong just in statistics. It involved a lot of work with applied math, some depth in statistics and visualization, and also a lot of communication skills. The problems down in the mature bucket, those are optimizations, they aren’t showstoppers. Tukey did this paper. Roll the clock out.

Building a Better Tomorrow with Open Source Analytics Tools

Sisense

Originally created in 2006, it’s one of the most popular open source BI tools. Between the language undergirding it and the power of its architecture, Hadoop has found a sizable following, tackling core BI tasks like statistical analytics and Big Data processing, including handling huge volumes of data from fleets of IoT sensors and more!

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

Domino Data Lab

statistical model-based techniques – Using Machine Learning we can streamline and simplify the process of building NER models, because this approach does not need a predefined exhaustive set of naming rules. The process of statistical learning can automatically extract said rules from a training dataset. The CRF model.
