The Intuition Behind Uplift Modeling

Modeling Uplift Modelingposted by Nathaniel Jermain September 1, 2020

Businesses pay a lot of attention to the estimated return on investment from the marketing efforts (e.g. promotions, communications) they employ. Insights into the impact of marketing on their customers are critical to optimizing ROI. A/B testing is an approach well-understood and commonly applied to measure the impact of... Read more

Improving Data Quality for Superior Results

Conferences Modeling East 2019posted by Elizabeth Wallace, ODSC August 28, 2020

When you’re a data scientist, you see a problem, and you build a model to solve it. If it’s not as accurate as you were hoping, you tweak the model. But what if it’s the quality of your data causing skewed or flawed results? Kaitlin Andryauskas of Wayfair, wants... Read more

Why Causation Matters in Data Science

Modelingposted by ODSC Community August 18, 2020

Inferring causality is vital to deriving actionable insights in product data science, similar to more established fields like public policy. Without understanding the causal impact, we cannot make influential product changes that will alter outcomes or behaviors in-line with product or policy goals. In my experience, because of an...

An Intro to Gradual Magnitude Pruning (GMP)

Machine Learning Modelingposted by ODSC Community August 17, 2020

Welcome to Part 2 in Neural Magic’s five-part blog series on pruning in machine learning. In case you missed it, Part 1 gave a pruning overview, detailed the difference between structured vs. unstructured pruning, and described commonly used algorithms, including GMP. Few algorithms are better than GMP in overall results, and none beat... Read more

How to Explain Your ML Models?

Conferences Machine Learning Modeling ODSC Speaker Uncategorized Europe 2020 explainable AIposted by ODSC Community August 11, 2020

Explainability in machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming increasingly important. With the increased demand for explanations and the number of new approaches out there, it could be difficult to know where to start. In this post, we will get hands-on experience in explaining an ML model... Read more

Before Probability Distributions

Modelingposted by Diego Lopez Yse August 11, 2020

I decided to write this introduction to probability distributions with one clear purpose in mind: explain why do we use them, and apply real-life examples. When learning probability, I got tired of hearing about coins tosses, card games and numbered balls. Unless you only love to gamble (which is... Read more
