Klaviyo Data Science Podcast EP 56 | Evaluating AI Models: A Seminar (feat. Evan Miller) 45:29

21 weeks پیش45:29

45:29

This month, the Klaviyo Data Science Podcast welcomes Evan Miller to deliver a seminar on his recently published paper, Adding Error Bars to Evals: A Statistical Approach to Language Model Evaluations ! This episode is a mix of a live seminar Evan gave to the team at Klaviyo and an interview we conducted with him afterward. Suppose you’re trying to understand the performance of an AI model — maybe one you built or fine-tuned and are comparing to state-of-the-art models, maybe one you’re considering loading up and using for a project you’re about to start. If you look at the literature today, you can get a sense of what the average performance for the model is on an evaluation or set of tasks. But often, that’s unfortunately the extent of what it’s possible to learn —there is much less emphasis placed on the variability or uncertainty inherent to those estimates. And as anyone who’s worked with a statistical model in the past can affirm, variability is a huge part of why you might choose to use or discard a model. This seminar explores how to best compute, summarize, and display estimates of variability for AI models. Listen along to hear about topics like: Why the Central Limit Theorem you learned about in Stats 101 is still relevant with the most advanced AI models developed today How to think about complications of classic assumptions, such as measurement error or clustering, in the AI landscape When to do a sample size calculation for your AI model, and how to do it About Evan Miller You may already know our guest Evan Miller from his fantastic blog , which includes his celebrated A/B testing posts, such as “How not to run an A/B test.” You may also have used his A/B testing tools , such as the sample size calculator. Evan currently works as a research scientist at Anthropic. About Anthropic Per Anthropic’s website : You can find more information about Anthropic, including links to their social media accounts, on the company website. Anthropic is an AI safety and research company based in San Francisco. Our interdisciplinary team has experience across ML, physics, policy, and product. Together, we generate research and create reliable, beneficial AI systems. Special thanks to Chris Murphy at Klaviyo for organizing this seminar and making this episode possible!

How we protect invention and ingenuity: Patents Writing software often involves taking known patterns, combining and shaping them, and adding needed context or specialization related to the problem we’re trying to solve. Sometimes, that means writing something that’s effectively been written by someone else before. But sometimes, that means creating something new. What should you do in a case where you’ve genuinely created something new? Perhaps more importantly, how do you know when you’re in that situation? This month, we explore one of the best tools to help answer both questions: the patent process. Listen along with your fearless co-hosts and a member of Klaviyo’s legal team to learn about what a patent is, why getting them matters, and how to get your own novel work patented, along with: Tips to keep in mind when applying for a patent Knowing which software you should try to patent How to get your organization to buy into patents For the full show notes, including who's who, see the ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Medium writeup ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ .…

Welcome to the November episode of the Klaviyo Data Science Podcast for 2024! In years past, November episodes reflected the chaotic Black Friday/Cyber Monday season by examining unique challenges of readiness, scale, and fundamental changes happening with little to no warning, as well as how those challenges were handled; this November is no different. What happens when two of the largest email platforms make sweeping changes to their spam filters, providing a few short months of notice? Stress, uncertainty, and an opportunity for individuals and organization to rise to the challenge. In this month’s episode, we talk with analysts, engineers, and product managers to discuss Klaviyo’s journey to meet Yahoo and Google’s new Email Delivery Requirements — aka Yahoogle, the colloqial name for a new set of rules that must be followed by email senders to have their emails make it to inboxes and not go straight to the junk bin.

As most data scientists will tell you, there is no such thing as the single best model or the perfect model . Some work well in some circumstances but poorly in others, some present a specific tradeoff between factors like flexibility and explainability that is only useful in certain settings. Some are best set up to handle specific types of data that don’t arise in every single project. But at the same time, most data scientists would acknowledge that some models manage to stand out. Maybe it’s nostalgia, maybe it’s how powerful they are in some settings, maybe it’s another factor entirely — but for one reason or another, most data scientists will admit they have a soft spot for some models. That’s what we’re here to discuss this month: what is your favorite model?

How real marketers use data science We spend a lot of time on this podcast talking about how to build data science solutions. Implicit in many of those conversations is perhaps the most fundamental truth of product design and development: we build data science solutions because people use them. We aren’t doing this just for fun — the reason we spend so much time, effort, and energy to refine our solutions is that it actually matters to real people. This month, we talk to some of those people. In particular, we sat down with two members of the team at Made In Cookware ( http://madeincookware.com/ ) to discuss what makes their business unique, how they approach understanding and marketing to their customers, and how data science and AI help them do all of that. You’ll hear about: What kitchen knives can teach you about product design and development Which type of pan you should use to cook a steak, and how that can help you understand customer segmentation How AI saves real marketers real time while also giving them better results About Made In Made In Cookware (Made In) is a premium cookware brand based in Austin, TX. Founded in 2017 but born of a 4th-generation, family-owned kitchen supply business, Made In creates best-in-class cookware developed in partnership with the world’s finest chefs and foremost craftsmen. Today, you’ll find Made In products in more than 2,000 restaurants, in the hands of James Beard Award-winning chefs at Michelin-starred restaurants across the country, and in the kitchens of home cooks everywhere.

In many ways, 2023 was the year of AI in tech, which is a double-edged sword. On the one hand, the basic technology is straightforwardly exciting — but on the other hand, with seemingly every technology solution scrambling to integrate a thin wrapper around ChatGPT, it’s hard to stand out in a saturated environment. This month on the Klaviyo Data Science Podcast, we dive into a case study of how to build AI products, SegmentsAI, and discuss the principles that go into making sure your AI-powered product shines — and, more importantly, actually helps your customers. You’ll hear about: How to know when AI is the right solution for the problem The unique technical challenges that come with building an AI product, from user testing to validation The answer to the AI chicken-and-egg problem “Why do this, why build another LLM feature? It seems like every website is rushing to get their name next to AI... How you break through the noise is to actually provide value to people, not novelty.

Welcome back to the Klaviyo Data Science podcast! This episode, we dive into… The question is slightly tongue-in-cheek, but only slightly. Data science is a new field — while many people today are graduating with degrees in data science, the same was not true a decade ago. Many of the people who work (and will work) as data scientists were not classically trained as a data scientist, but as something else. This month, we examine that process: the process of working in a field that’s distinct from data science and becoming a data scientist. We discuss several parts of that journey, including: What attracts someone to data science in the first place How to approach gaining the technical skills you need to get a data science job How similar some parts of the data scientist job are to washing dishes Where do data scientists come from?“You really need to practice using these tools. I did my best to come up with excuses to use data science techniques in all my projects… maybe instead of trying to automate a workflow in Excel VBA, I’d try to automate it in python instead.” - Steven Her, Data Scientist Read the full writeup on Medium !…

Welcome back to the Klaviyo Data Science podcast! This episode, we dive into… Back by popular demand: data science is a broad, deep field with an extraordinary amount to learn, and we’re here to help you learn it. We asked four members of the Data Science team at Klaviyo what one of their favorite data science books was, and we got four different answers. Listen on if you’ve wanted to know more ways to learn about: How to think about and employ the Bayesian framework (and corgis) Learning intro-to-intermediate coding skills necessary for data science work The theory that drives natural language processing The mindset of a data scientist in general “it gives you a different lens to apply to different problems. And sometimes taking that different lens, suddenly a problem that was really hard to formulate using traditional frequentist statistics or machine learning techniques, suddenly it can be really easy to frame in this other way” - Tommy Blanchard, Senior Data Science Manager Read the full writeup on Medium !…

Listen to the full episode on Anchor , or in your favorite podcast distribution platform! Welcome back to the Klaviyo Data Science podcast! This episode, we dive into… Starting from scratch We’ve talked about a lot of aspects of data science on this podcast — building software features, conducting research, learning new methods and skills, recruiting new members — but there’s one we’ve always avoided: building a new team from the ground up. A large reason for that is personnel — while your cohosts may be intrepid, they are not experts in this area. This month, we bring on two people who are: Eric Silberstein and Ezra Freedman, who founded the Data Science team at Klaviyo. We draw on their wealth of experience, knowledge, and lessons learned the hard way while founding a young team. As you might expect, these lessons extend beyond data science teams in particular — whether you’re founding another team or starting a new business, or looking to join a team in its early stages, you might be able to learn from our discussions, such as: How setting concrete goals is key for a new team How to think about your first hire, and your next five How to steer a team through large organizational changes while maintaining its culture and essence “When you view the world, do you think of it as ‘if-then’ statements, or do you tend to think of it as some sort of function to optimize? Our team needed both.” - Eric Silberstein, VP of Data Science Read the full writeup on Medium !…

Welcome back to the Klaviyo Data Science podcast! This episode, we dive into… When the data science world changes When you work in data science, it’s inevitable that the world will change for you. Sometimes it’s due to global events, macroeconomic trends, or sudden shifts in consumer behavior. Other times it’s due to new features added by a commonly-used piece of software. When your lifeblood is data, all of these can be equally shocking and disruptive. This month, we discuss one of the latter cases: the changes to the world of email marketing data brought about by the iOS 15 privacy updates. We bring on a panel of product managers, data scientists, and software engineers to discuss: How one software update can drastically alter your data landscape How to do research while the world is changing, and how to test your conclusions while the ground truth is still in flux How using different sources of data can help you adapt your product to a new reality “That was the biggest thing I came out of this with. Being first doesn’t really matter if what you’re delivering isn’t the right solution for your customers”— Nader Fotouhi, Lead Product Manager Read the full writeup on Medium !…

Welcome back to the Klaviyo Data Science podcast! This episode, we dive into… 2022 Year in Review As the new year starts, we take a look back at 2022. We spoke to 8 data scientist and people who work closely with data scientists, and we asked them all the same question: what is the coolest data science thing you learned about in 2022? You’ll hear about fascinating data science topics, including: Advances in AI, NLP, and data science in general in 2022 How understanding data science and ML operations makes a recruiter’s job easier New ways to classify models, visualize data, and play video games “I think these models have been really good for a long while. It’s a snowball effect of people realizing they’ve been good and seeing how much cool stuff can be built with them.” - Robert Huselid, Data Scientist Read the full writeup on Medium !…
