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.

All you need to know for now is that machine learning uses statistical techniques to give computer systems the ability to “learn” by being trained on existing data. Machine learning adds uncertainty. Underneath this uncertainty lies further uncertainty in the development process itself.

the weight given to Likes in our video recommendation algorithm) while $Y$ is a vector of outcome measures such as different metrics of user experience (e.g., Crucially, it takes into account the uncertainty inherent in our experiments. Figure 2: Spreading measurements out makes estimates of model (slope of line) more accurate.

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.

LLMs like ChatGPT are trained on massive amounts of text data, allowing them to recognize patterns and statistical relationships within language. The AGI would need to handle uncertainty and make decisions with incomplete information. NLP techniques help them parse the nuances of human language, including grammar, syntax and context.

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. For each of them, write down the KPI you're measuring, and what that KPI should be for you to consider your efforts a success. Measure and decide what to do.

For example, imagine a fantasy football site is considering displaying advanced player statistics. A ramp-up strategy may mitigate the risk of upsetting the site’s loyal users who perhaps have strong preferences for the current statistics that are shown. One reason to do ramp-up is to mitigate the risk of never before seen arms.
