How To “Ultralearn” Data Science: deep understanding and experimentation, Part 4

KDnuggets

In this fourth and final part of the ultralearning data science series, it's time to take the final steps toward developing a deep understanding of the fundamentals and learning how to experiment -- the two aspects that are the ultimate keys to ultralearning.

6 trends framing the state of AI and ML

O'Reilly on Data

Our analysis of ML- and AI-related data from the O’Reilly online learning platform indicates: Unsupervised learning surged in 2019, with usage up by 172%. Deep learning cooled slightly in 2019, slipping 10% relative to 2018, but deep learning still accounted for 22% of all AI/ML usage. Growth in ML and AI is unabated.

Reflections on the Data Science Platform Market

Domino Data Lab

Before we get too far into 2019, I wanted to take a brief moment to reflect on some of the changes we’ve seen in the market. In 2018 we saw the “data science platform” market rapidly crystallize into three distinct product segments. Proprietary (often GUI-driven) data science platforms. Reflections.

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. Our experimentation platform supports this kind of grouped-experiments analysis, which allows us to see rough summaries of our designed experiments without much work.
