6 trends framing the state of AI and ML

O'Reilly on Data

Deep learning cooled slightly in 2019, slipping 10% relative to 2018, but deep learning still accounted for 22% of all AI/ML usage. PyTorch looks like a contender: it posted triple-digit growth in usage share rates in both 2018 and 2019. For example, the chatbots topic continues to decline, first by 17% in 2018 and by 34% in 2019.

Data Science and Beyond

This article is a short summary of my understanding of the definition of data science in 2018. Even better – I still get paid for being a data scientist. But what does it mean? What do I actually do here? It’s not all about machine learning. As I was wrapping up my PhD in 2012, I started thinking about my next steps.

Towards optimal experimentation in online systems

The Unofficial Google Data Science Blog

To find optimal values of two parameters experimentally, the obvious strategy would be to experiment with and update them in separate, sequential stages. Our experimentation platform supports this kind of grouped-experiments analysis, which allows us to see rough summaries of our designed experiments without much work.

AI in Analytics: The NLQ Use Case

Sisense

When the app is first opened, the user may be searching for a specific song that was heard while passing by the neighborhood cafe, or the user may want to be surprised with, let’s say, a song from the new experimental album by a Yemen Reggae folk artist. when the user actually meant to compare between Q1 2018 to the whole of 2017?
