Measure Twice, Model Once

Conferences Machine Learning Modeling ODSC Speaker East 2021posted by ODSC Community February 4, 2021

Supervised machine learning is essentially classification: ball vs strike; dog vs cat vs horse vs cow; etc. For these types of problems, the most fundamental question is always: can I create an accurate and generalized model (classifier) from the data I have collected? Today, the only... Read more

Insights Discovery in Data Science Through Novel Machine Learning Approaches

Conferences Machine Learning Modeling ODSC Speaker East 2021posted by Kirk Borne January 28, 2021

Learn about: Insights Discovery in Data Science Through Novel Machine Learning Approaches, in an upcoming talk. I have always appreciated the unusual, unexpected, and surprising in science and in data. As famous science author Arthur C. Clarke once said, “The most exciting phrase to hear in science,...

Understanding the Mechanism and Types of Recurrent Neural Networks

Machine Learning Modeling Uncategorized Recurrent Neural Networks RNNposted by ODSC Community December 15, 2020

There are numerous machine learning problems in life that depend on time. For example, in financial fraud detection, we can’t just look at the present transaction; we should also consider previous transactions so that we can model based on their discrepancy. Using machine learning to solve such problems is called sequence learning, or sequence... Read more

The Machine Learning House

Machine Learning Modeling AI Plusposted by Jon Krohn December 14, 2020

To be an outstanding data scientist or ML engineer, it doesn’t suffice to only know how to use ML algorithms via the abstract interfaces that the most popular libraries (e.g., scikit-learn, Keras) provide. To train innovative models or deploy them efficiently in production, an in-depth appreciation... Read more

Improving Experimental Power Through CUPAC

Machine Learning Modeling Control Using Predictions As Covariatesposted by ODSC Community November 25, 2020

Article originally posted here at Doordash, reposted with permission. In this post, we introduce a method we call CUPAC (Control Using Predictions As Covariates) that we successfully deployed to reduce extraneous noise in online controlled experiments, thereby accelerating our experimental velocity. Rapid experimentation is essential to... Read more

Why TensorFlow Will Stand Out on Your Resume in 2021

Data Visualization Deep Learning Machine Learning TensorFlowposted by Alex Landa, ODSC November 23, 2020

You have likely heard about TensorFlow in the machine & deep learning circles for quite a while now, and for good reason. This Google-developed framework excels where many other libraries don’t, such as with its scalable nature designed for production deployment. With that, here are just... Read more

Retraining Machine Learning Models in the Wake of COVID-19

Machine Learning Modeling COVID 19posted by ODSC Community November 18, 2020

Originally posted here by Doordash, with permission. The advent of the COVID-19 pandemic created significant changes in how people took their meals, causing greater demand for food deliveries. These changes impacted the accuracy of DoorDash’s machine learning (ML) demand prediction models. ML models rely on patterns... Read more

Teaching KNIME to Play Tic-Tac-Toe

Machine Learning Modeling KNIME Reinforcement Learningposted by ODSC Community November 13, 2020

In this blog post I want to introduce some basic concepts of reinforcement learning, some important terminology, and show a simple use case where I create a game playing AI in KNIME Analytics Platform. After reading this, I hope you’ll have a better understanding of the... Read more

Improving Online Experiment Capacity by 4X with Parallelization and Increased Sensitivity

Machine Learning Modeling Doordashposted by ODSC Community November 12, 2020

Originally posted here by Doordash. Data-driven companies measure real customer reactions to determine the efficacy of new product features, but the inability to run these experiments simultaneously and on mutually exclusive groups significantly slows down development. At DoorDash we utilize data generated from user-based experiments to... Read more
