ML in the real world, Reinforcement Learning, and Freelancing tips
Datamachines by Pau Labarta Bajo
Hi guys 👋
In the real world, ML is a tool to solve business problems. Your starting point is always a business problem, and then the data. Once these 2 elements are clearly defined, you are tempted to move to the fun part and start building models.
Wait a second.
Before that, please take a careful look at the data. Explore it, understand it better, and try to improve its quality. Data quality is one of the most powerful levers you can play with to improve your results.
Having said this, lots of ML practitioners completely skip this step and start building models.
Why?
Because they think data exploration is a slow manual process.
And they are wrong.
To help you explore your datasets in a matter of seconds, I wrote a hands-on tutorial and a GitHub repo you can start using for your ML projects.

Happy data exploration!
And happy week,

How to test ML models in the real-world
How often do you test ML models in a Jupyter notebook, get good results, but still cannot convince your boss that the model should be used right away?
Or maybe you manage to convince her and put the model in production, but you do not see any impact on business metrics?
Luckily for you, there are better ways to test ML models in the real world and to convince everyone (including you) that they add value to the business.
In this article you will learn what these evaluation methods are, how to implement them, and when should you use each.
