What you need to know about product management for AI

O'Reilly on Data

Machine learning adds uncertainty. This has serious implications for software testing, versioning, deployment, and other core development processes. Underneath this uncertainty lies further uncertainty in the development process itself. Models within AI products change the same world they try to predict.

Towards optimal experimentation in online systems

The Unofficial Google Data Science Blog

Crucially, it takes into account the uncertainty inherent in our experiments. To find optimal values of two parameters experimentally, the obvious strategy would be to experiment with and update them in separate, sequential stages. It is a big picture approach, worthy of your consideration.

Getting ready for artificial general intelligence with examples

IBM Big Data Hub

AGI, sometimes referred to as strong AI , is the science-fiction version of artificial intelligence (AI), where artificial machine intelligence achieves human-level learning, perception and cognitive flexibility. The AGI would need to handle uncertainty and make decisions with incomplete information. What are the types of AGI?

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.

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

Occam's Razor

Sometimes, we escape the clutches of this sub optimal existence and do pick good metrics or engage in simple A/B testing. Testing out a new feature. Identify, hypothesize, test, react. But at the same time, they had to have a real test of an actual feature. You don’t need a beautiful beast to go out and test.

Changing assignment weights with time-based confounders

The Unofficial Google Data Science Blog

This post considers a common design for an OCE where a user may be randomly assigned an arm on their first visit during the experiment, with assignment weights referring to the proportion that are randomly assigned to each arm. There are two common reasons assignment weights may change during an OCE.

Estimating causal effects using geo experiments

The Unofficial Google Data Science Blog

Similarly, we could test the effectiveness of a search ad compared to showing only organic search results. A geo experiment is an experiment where the experimental units are defined by geographic regions. Such regions are often referred to as Generalized Market Areas (GMAs) or simply geos. by turning campaigns off).
