This data alone does not make any sense unless it’s identified to be related in some pattern. Data mining is the process of discovering these patterns among the data and is therefore also known as Knowledge Discovery from Data (KDD). Machine learning provides the technical basis for data mining.

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.

But the fact that a service could have millions of users and billions of interactions gives rise to both big data and methods which are effective with big data. Of particular interest to LSOS data scientists are modeling and prediction techniques which keep improving with more data. known, equal variances).

In this article we discuss why fitting models on imbalanced datasets is problematic, and how class imbalance is typically addressed. Further, imbalanced data exacerbates problems arising from the curse of dimensionality often found in such biological data. Data mining for direct marketing: Problems and solutions.

Variance reduction through conditioning Suppose, as an LSOS experimenter, you find that your key metric varies a lot by country and time of day. And since the metric average is different in each hour of day, this is a source of variation in measuring the experimental effect. Obviously, this doesn’t have to be true.

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.
