Data versioning

“Data versioning is like flossing. Everyone agrees it’s a good thing to do, but few do it.” ~ Chip Huyen, Designing Machine Learning Systems Unlike code versioning, it is a lot more difficult to implement data versioning in data science / machine learning projects. It is because of the following reasons: ➡️ Data is often… Continue reading Data versioning

Concept drift vs data drift vs covariate drift

Do you always get confused among concept drift vs data drift vs covariate drift like me? The diagram (from a research paper, https://arxiv.org/abs/1511.03816) provides a clear illustration of the different terms. In summary, concept drift in data refers to changes in environmental conditions that differ from the original environmental conditions under which a model is… Continue reading Concept drift vs data drift vs covariate drift

MLU-Explain : Visual explanation of ML concepts

A very cool website from Amazon that explains various machine learning concepts using interactive and visual essays. https://mlu-explain.github.io/ Using simple and interesting examples, the website really brings to life many core concepts in machine learning and makes them accessible to more people. This reminds me of how I learned physics during my high school era.… Continue reading MLU-Explain : Visual explanation of ML concepts

ML system design – problem definition & consulting

I recently started reading the excellent book called Designing Machine Learning Systems by Chip Huyen. In the first few chapters, the book illustrated very clearly the differing stakeholder expectations of an ML system, by using a restaurant recommendation app as an example. Data scientists / ML engineers ➡️ Want a model that recommends the best… Continue reading ML system design – problem definition & consulting
