Wallach: Investigating correct model predictions helps contextualize how models treat certainty
“I don't know if there are necessarily any sort of general purpose, like this is going to fix everything kind of solutions, but I would say yes, digging into why your model is making certain predictions, even when those predictions are correct, can kind of help…”

Achin: Complex machine learning models can be interpreted using modern techniques
“I would argue, though, that even very complicated models can be interpreted using modern techniques.”

Insight
Machine learning models often predict outcomes without explaining why they happen
“The models that you can create can often tell you what might happen, but they can't always tell you why.”

Insight
Training dedicated models for distinct cohorts beats fitting general models
“If there's a strong enough use case for a different cohort or segment like new users, typically it'll make more sense just to train a new model rather than trying to shoehorn it into a general model.”

Pinterest wants non-coding data scientists to deploy ML models to production
“And to get to a point where we can have people that are data scientists that don't even code, that can just build models and be able to deploy those to production. So that's really what we want to get to within Pinterest as well.”

Assertion Not checkable as stated
Pinterest uses 50 machine learning models in its pin safety pipeline
“And so, there's a, that whole pipeline has got like about 50 different machine learning models in itself.”

Douetteau: Model auditing and regulation are bigger enterprise bottlenecks than ML performance
“In, in some use cases, it's not machine learning per se, or the performance of machine learning models that is the choke point in order to deliver value. It's the ability to actually meet the, meaning the regulatory, the regulation constraints, meaning literal…”

Insight
Biewald: Simple operational errors cause more model failures than data drift
“People talk a lot about data drift in the industry. And that's this idea that like, you know, like language changes over time and you want to know that it's changing and sort of like have your model you know, notice that and update it. But I guess like what I …”

Hitchcock: SurrealDB allows users to run AI models directly inside databases
“One of the pieces of functionality we have in CeruleeB is the ability to bring a model right inside the database so that you can run that model. It's a custom trade model or an off-the-shelf model. You can run that model right alongside your data.”
