Towards optimal experimentation in online systems

The Unofficial Google Data Science Blog

To find optimal values of two parameters experimentally, the obvious strategy would be to experiment with and update them in separate, sequential stages. However, if we experiment with both parameters at the same time we will learn something about interactions between these system parameters.

Further Exploration #14: 3D Treemaps That Use Extrusion

The Data Visualisation Catalogue

The goal here is to ease comprehension of software systems by representing them as a city that can be traversed and interacted with. In the paper, Combining Interactive Hierarchy Visualizations in a Web-Based Application , there’s a colourful example of a 3D Treemap used to visualise a dataset called ‘influenza’.

Note: A test set of 19,500 such analogies was developed by Tomas Mikolov and his colleagues in their 2013 word2vec paper. Instead, we recommend using the bokeh library to create a highly interactive—and actionable—plot, as with the code provided in Example 11.11.
