Uncertainties: Statistical, Representational, Interventional

The Unofficial Google Data Science Blog

by AMIR NAJMI & MUKUND SUNDARARAJAN Data science is about decision making under uncertainty. Some of that uncertainty is the result of statistical inference, i.e., using a finite sample of observations for estimation. But there are other kinds of uncertainty, at least as important, that are not statistical in nature.

The Lean Analytics Cycle: Metrics > Hypothesis > Experiment > Act

Occam's Razor

To win in business you need to follow this process: Metrics > Hypothesis > Experiment > Act. We are far too enamored with data collection and reporting the standard metrics we love because others love them because someone else said they were nice so many years ago. That metric is tied to a KPI.

Skomoroch proposes that managing ML projects are challenging for organizations because shipping ML projects requires an experimental culture that fundamentally changes how many companies approach building and shipping software. Without large amounts of labeled training data solving most AI problems is not possible.

AI Product Management After Deployment

O'Reilly on Data

From a technical perspective, it is entirely possible for ML systems to function on wildly different data. For example, you can ask an ML model to make an inference on data taken from a distribution very different from what it was trained on—but that, of course, results in unpredictable and often undesired performance. I/O validation.
