Explaining black-box models using attribute importance, PDPs, and LIME

Domino Data Lab

In this article we cover explainability for black-box models and show how to use different methods from the Skater framework to provide insights into the inner workings of a simple credit scoring neural network model. The interest in interpretation of machine learning has been rapidly accelerating in the last decade. See Ribeiro et al.

The trinity of errors in financial models: An introductory analysis using TensorFlow Probability

O'Reilly on Data

An exploration of three types of errors inherent in all financial models. At Hedged Capital , an AI-first financial trading and advisory firm, we use probabilistic models to trade the financial markets. All financial models are wrong. Clearly, a map will not be able to capture the richness of the terrain it models.

Some of these ‘structures’ may include putting all the information; for instance, a structure could be about cars, placing them into tables that consist of makes, models, year of manufacture, and color. With a MySQL dashboard builder , for example, you can connect all the data with a few clicks. Viescas, Douglas J.

Experiment design and modeling for long-term studies in ads

The Unofficial Google Data Science Blog

by HENNING HOHNHOLD, DEIRDRE O'BRIEN, and DIANE TANG In this post we discuss the challenges in measuring and modeling the long-term effect of ads on user behavior. We describe experiment designs which have proven effective for us and discuss the subtleties of trying to generalize the results via modeling.

MLOps and the evolution of data science

IBM Big Data Hub

Machine learning (ML), a subset of artificial intelligence (AI), is an important piece of data-driven innovation. Machine learning engineers take massive datasets and use statistical methods to create algorithms that are trained to find patterns and uncover key insights in data mining projects. How the models are stored.
