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. And we can keep repeating this approach, relying on intuition and luck. Why experiment with several parameters concurrently?

What Is DataOps? Definition, Principles, and Benefits

Alation

DataOps as a term was brought to media attention by Lenny Liebmannin 2014, then popularized by several other thought leaders. Technical environments and IDEs must be disposable so that experimental costs can be kept to a minimum. Over the past 5 years, there has been a steady increase in interest in DataOps.

To Balance or Not to Balance?

The Unofficial Google Data Science Blog

In an ideal world, experimentation through randomization of the treatment assignment allows the identification and consistent estimation of causal effects. Identification We now discuss formally the statistical problem of causal inference. We start by describing the problem using standard statistical notation.

Although it’s not perfect, [Note: These are statistical approximations, of course!] At the time—in 2014—the three were colleagues working. We waved our finger in the air to select 64, so some experimentation and optimization are warranted at your end if you feel like it. Example 11.6 Pennington, J., GloVe: Global vectors.
