Bringing an AI Product to Market

O'Reilly on Data

Product Managers are responsible for the successful development, testing, release, and adoption of a product, and for leading the team that implements those milestones. Without clarity in metrics, it’s impossible to do meaningful experimentation. Ongoing monitoring of critical metrics is yet another form of experimentation.

Designing A/B tests in a collaboration network

The Unofficial Google Data Science Blog

We present data from Google Cloud Platform (GCP) as an example of how we use A/B testing when users are connected. Experimentation on networks A/B testing is a standard method of measuring the effect of changes by randomizing samples into different treatment groups. This simulation is based on the actual user network of GCP.

Methods of Study Design – Experiments

Data Science 101

Researchers/ scientists perform experiments to validate their hypothesis/ statements or to test a new product. Suppose we want to test the effectiveness of a new drug against a particular disease. Bias can cause a huge error in experimentation results so we need to avoid them. REFERENCES. McCabe & B. About the Author.

Towards optimal experimentation in online systems

The Unofficial Google Data Science Blog

If $Y$ at that point is (statistically and practically) significantly better than our current operating point, and that point is deemed acceptable, we update the system parameters to this better value. Our main tools are the difference-of-convex-programs paradigm[9] and the embedded conic solver[10]; the reference [11] is also very useful.

Understanding Simpson’s Paradox to Avoid Faulty Conclusions

Sisense

This is an example of Simpon’s paradox , a statistical phenomenon in which a trend that is present when data is put into groups reverses or disappears when the data is combined. It’s time to introduce a new statistical term. A new drug promising to reduce the risk of heart attack was tested with two groups.

What you need to know about product management for AI

O'Reilly on Data

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. This has serious implications for software testing, versioning, deployment, and other core development processes. Machine learning adds uncertainty.

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.
