  • Strategies For Building A Product Using LLMs At DataChat

    Strategies For Building A Product Using LLMs At DataChat
    Mar 3 2024
    Summary Large Language Models (LLMs) have rapidly captured the attention of the world with their impressive capabilities. Unfortunately, they are often unpredictable and unreliable. This makes building a product based on their capabilities a unique challenge. Jignesh Patel is building DataChat to bring the capabilities of LLMs to organizational analytics, allowing anyone to have conversations with their business data. In this episode he shares the methods that he is using to build a product on top of this constantly shifting set of technologies. Announcements Hello and welcome to the Machine Learning Podcast, the podcast about machine learning and how to bring it from idea to delivery. Your host is Tobias Macey and today I'm interviewing Jignesh Patel about working with LLMs; understanding how they work and how to build your own Interview Introduction How did you get involved in machine learning? Can you start by sharing some of the ways that you are working with LLMs currently? What are the business challenges involved in building a product on top of an LLM model that you don't own or control? In the current age of business, your data is often your strategic advantage. How do you avoid losing control of, or leaking that data while interfacing with a hosted LLM API? What are the technical difficulties related to using an LLM as a core element of a product when they are largely a black box? What are some strategies for gaining visibility into the inner workings or decision making rules for these models? What are the factors, whether technical or organizational, that might motivate you to build your own LLM for a business or product? Can you unpack what it means to "build your own" when it comes to an LLM? In your work at DataChat, how has the progression of sophistication in LLM technology impacted your own product strategy? What are the most interesting, innovative, or unexpected ways that you have seen LLMs/DataChat used? What are the most interesting, unexpected, or challenging lessons that you have learned while working with LLMs? When is an LLM the wrong choice? What do you have planned for the future of DataChat?

  • Improve The Success Rate Of Your Machine Learning Projects With bizML

    Improve The Success Rate Of Your Machine Learning Projects With bizML
    Feb 18 2024
    Summary Machine learning is a powerful set of technologies, holding the potential to dramatically transform businesses across industries. Unfortunately, the implementation of ML projects often fail to achieve their intended goals. This failure is due to a lack of collaboration and investment across technological and organizational boundaries. To help improve the success rate of machine learning projects Eric Siegel developed the six step bizML framework, outlining the process to ensure that everyone understands the whole process of ML deployment. In this episode he shares the principles and promise of that framework and his motivation for encapsulating it in his book "The AI Playbook". Announcements Hello and welcome to the Machine Learning Podcast, the podcast about machine learning and how to bring it from idea to delivery. Your host is Tobias Macey and today I'm interviewing Eric Siegel about how the bizML approach can help improve the success rate of your ML projects Interview Introduction How did you get involved in machine learning? Can you describe what bizML is and the story behind it? What are the key aspects of this approach that are different from the "industry standard" lifecycle of an ML project? What are the elements of your personal experience as an ML consultant that helped you develop the tenets of bizML? Who are the personas that need to be involved in an ML project to increase the likelihood of success? Who do you find to be best suited to "own" or "lead" the process? What are the organizational patterns that might hinder the work of delivering on the goals of an ML initiative? What are some of the misconceptions about the work involved in/capabilities of an ML model that you commonly encounter? What is your main goal in writing your book "The AI Playbook"? What are the most interesting, innovative, or unexpected ways that you have seen the bizML process in action? What are the most interesting, unexpected, or challenging lessons that you have learned while working on ML projects and developing the bizML framework? When is bizML the wrong choice? What are the future developments in organizational and technical approaches to ML that will improve the success rate of AI projects?

In this episode Colin Priest explains how FeatureByte is applying generative AI models to the challenge of building and maintaining machine learning pipelines. Announcements Hello and welcome to the Machine Learning Podcast, the podcast about machine learning and how to bring it from idea to delivery. Your host is Tobias Macey and today I'm interviewing Colin Priest about applying generative AI to the task of building and deploying AI pipelines Interview Introduction How did you get involved in machine learning? Can you start by giving the 30,000 foot view of the steps involved in an AI pipeline? Understand the problem Feature ideation Feature engineering Experiment Optimize Productionize What are the stages of that process that are prone to repetition? What are the ways that teams typically try to automate those steps? What are the features of generative AI models that can be brought to bear on the design stage of an AI pipeline? What are the validation/verification processes that engineers need to apply to the generated suggestions? What are the opportunities/limitations for unit/integration style tests? What are the elements of developer experience that need to be addressed to make the gen AI capabilities an enhancement instead of a distraction? What are the interfaces through which the AI functionality can/should be exposed? What are the aspects of pipeline and model deployment that can benefit from generative AI functionality? What are the potential risk factors that need to be considered when evaluating the application of this functionality? What are the most interesting, innovative, or unexpected ways that you have seen generative AI used in the development and maintenance of AI pipelines? What are the most interesting, unexpected, or challenging lessons that you have learned while working on the application of generative AI to the ML workflow? When is generative AI the wrong choice?
