Drug Discovery Needs AI To Discover More Treatments

Smart Data Collective

Current R&D Models Provide Diminishing Returns. In a report on the failure rates of drug discovery efforts between 2013 and 2015, Richard K. Now, picture the same process using heuristic models, machine vision, and artificial intelligence. Artificial intelligence can help us take better care of those we’ve left behind.

Towards optimal experimentation in online systems

The Unofficial Google Data Science Blog

Experiments, Parameters and Models At Youtube, the relationships between system parameters and metrics often seem simple — straight-line models sometimes fit our data well. That is true generally, not just in these experiments — spreading measurements out is generally better, if the straight-line model is a priori correct.

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.

Changing assignment weights with time-based confounders

The Unofficial Google Data Science Blog

Instead, we focus on the case where an experimenter has decided to run a full traffic ramp-up experiment and wants to use the data from all of the epochs in the analysis. When there are changing assignment weights and time-based confounders, this complication must be considered either in the analysis or the experimental design.

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. The choice of space $cal F$ (sometimes called the model ) and loss function $L$ explicitly defines the estimation problem. This is often referred to as the positivity assumption.
