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.

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.

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

Occam's Razor

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. First, you figure out what you want to improve; then you create an experiment; then you run the experiment; then you measure the results and decide what to do.

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. When there are changing assignment weights and time-based confounders, this complication must be considered either in the analysis or the experimental design.

AI Product Management After Deployment

O'Reilly on Data

To support verification in these areas, a product manager must first ensure that the AI system is capable of reporting back to the product team about its performance and usefulness over time. Returning to previous anti-bias and AI transparency tools such as Model Cards for Model Reporting (Timnit Gebru, et al.)
