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.

What you need to know about product management for AI

O'Reilly on Data

In the best case scenario, the trained neural network accurately represents the underlying phenomenon of interest and produces the correct output even when presented with new input data the model didn’t see during training. Machine learning adds uncertainty. Models within AI products change the same world they try to predict.

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. Just as in ramp-up, making inferences while ignoring the complexity of time-based confounders that are present can lead to biased estimates.

CIOs press ahead for gen AI edge — despite misgivings

CIO Business Intelligence

If anything, 2023 has proved to be a year of reckoning for businesses, and IT leaders in particular, as they attempt to come to grips with the disruptive potential of this technology — just as debates over the best path forward for AI have accelerated and regulatory uncertainty has cast a longer shadow over its outlook in the wake of these events.

Variance and significance in large-scale online services

The Unofficial Google Data Science Blog

Unlike experimentation in some other areas, LSOS experiments present a surprising challenge to statisticians — even though we operate in the realm of “big data”, the statistical uncertainty in our experiments can be substantial. We must therefore maintain statistical rigor in quantifying experimental uncertainty.

Getting ready for artificial general intelligence with examples

IBM Big Data Hub

While leaders have some reservations about the benefits of current AI, organizations are actively investing in gen AI deployment, significantly increasing budgets, expanding use cases, and transitioning projects from experimentation to production. The AGI would need to handle uncertainty and make decisions with incomplete information.

Product Management for AI

Domino Data Lab

Pete Skomoroch presented “ Product Management for AI ” at Rev. 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.
