This blog post includes candid insights about addressing tension points that arise when people collaborate on developing and deploying models. Domino’s Head of Content sat down with Don Miner and Marshall Presser to discuss the state of collaboration between data science and data engineering. The blog post provides distilled insights, audio clips, excerpted quotes as well as the full audio and written transcript. Additional content on this topic will be forthcoming from additional industry experts.

Last week, Paco Nathan referenced Julia Angwin’s recent Strata keynote that covered algorithmic bias. This Domino Data Science Field Note dives a bit deeper into some of the publicly available research regarding algorithmic accountability and forgiveness, specifically around a proprietary black box model used to predict the risk of recidivism, or whether someone will “relapse into criminal behavior”.

Key highlights from Clare Gollnick’s talk, “The limits of inference: what data scientists can learn from the reproducibility crisis in science”, are covered in this Domino Data Science Field Note. The full video is available for viewing here.

In this guest post, Sean Owen, writes about three data situations that provide ambiguous results and how causation helps clarifies the interpretation of data. A version of this post previously appeared on Quora. Domino would like to extend special thanks to Sean for updating the Quora post for our blog.

Sivan Aldor-Noiman, VP of Data Science at Wellio (now part of The Kraft Heinz Company), presented “The Past/Present/Future + Myths of Data Science” at Domino. This blog post provides a few highlights from the interactive talk as well as the full video.

Derrick Higgins of American Family Insurance presented a talk, “Classify all the Things (with multiple labels): The most common type of modeling task no one talks about” at Rev. Higgins covers multilabel classification, a few methods used for multiclass prediction, and existing toolkits. This blog post provides highlights, the video, and a transcript of the talk.
