WEBINAR:Building data pipelines that drive highly predictive, resilient models - 19 April 2022

 

Building data pipelines that drive highly predictive, resilient models What: A free online webinar exclusively for IT Pros When: Tuesday, April 19th, 12:00 PM EDT Where: From the convenience of your personal computer  Register Now Predictive performance and resiliency are equally important requirements for model operationalization. Users would rather have resilient models with “good” performance than models that show high predictivity at training and testing, but underperform when deployed, and require frequent tuning. Of the multiple impactors of performance and resilience, it is well known that training data has an outsize impact on predictivity, and data drift is a major influencer of resilience. In this webinar Anindya Datta, Founder and CEO of Mobilewalla, will discuss two strategies to improve accuracy and resiliency of models: Enriching first party data to create effective training data sets that possess adequate breadth, depth and scale Using the concept of data stability to reduce the impact of data drift and produce resilient models from scratch In discussing these strategies, we will address the following questions: Why machine learning models often underperform in production How data enrichment can improve model performance The concept of data stability, and how it can be used proactively Discuss how feature transformation and selection is so critical to model resilience

101 DATA SCIENCE with Cheat Sheets (ML, DL, Scraping, Python, R, SQL, Maths & Statistics) by Anushka Bajpai via @Medium

Data Science is an ever-growing field, there are numerous tools & techniques to remember. It is not possible for anyone to remember all the functions, operations and formulas of each concept. That’s why we have cheat sheets and summaries. They help us access the most commonly needed reminders for making our Data Science journey fast and easy.

This is really like a one-stop-shop for cheatsheets - definitely worth a bookmark, a printout, adding to Evernote or whatever is your choice for preserving something important.
