I don’t like making predictions, so rest assured this is not another of a myriad of predictions articles that hit the media annually. Instead, let’s kick start the year with some definite plans and aspirations of companies in the business intelligence sphere. A great place for an insightful, real-world view of BI trends is my weekly #BIWisdom tweetchats with BI customers, vendors and consultants.

These are few points from an email I sent to members of the Data Science Sydney Meetup. I suppose other Kaggle beginners may find it useful. My first steps when working on a new competition are: Read all the instructions carefully to understand the problem. One important thing to look at is what measure is being optimised. For example, minimising the mean absolute error (MAE) may require a different approach from minimising the mean square error (MSE).

Occam's Razor

JANUARY 7, 2014

'Every indicator we have is that companies are investing more in every facet of analytics. Tools. People. Consulting. Processes.

A part of reason for this mis-match in value delivered is that there is a natural evolution that needs to occur.

Software leaders who are building applications based on Large Language Models (LLMs) often find it a challenge to achieve reliability. It’s no surprise given the non-deterministic nature of LLMs. To effectively create reliable LLM-based (often with RAG) applications, extensive testing and evaluation processes are crucial. This often ends up involving meticulous adjustments to prompts.
