Building models requires a lot of time and effort. Data scientists can spend weeks just trying to find, capture and transform data into decent features for models, not to mention many cycles of training, tuning, and tweaking models so they’re performant.

Notebooks are increasingly crucial in the data scientist's toolbox. Although considered relatively new, their history traces back to systems like Mathematica and MATLAB. This form of interactive workflow was introduced to assist data scientists in documenting their work, facilitating reproducibility, and prompting collaboration with their team members. Recently there has been an influx of newcomers, and data scientists now have a wide range of implementations to choose from, such as Jupyter Notebook, Zeppelin, R Markdown, Spark Notebook, and Polynote.

This article covers how to detect data drift for models that ingest image data as their input in order to prevent their silent degradation in production.

This Domino Data Science Field Note covers a proposed definition of interpretability and distilled overview of the PDR framework. Insights are drawn from Bin Yu, W. James Murdoch, Chandan Singh, Karl Kumber, and Reza Abbasi-Asi's recent paper, "Definitions, methods, and applications in interpretable machine learning".

This article provides insight on the mindset, approach, and tools to consider when solving a real-world ML problem. It covers questions to consider as well as collecting, prepping and plotting data.

This article covers a couple of key Machine Learning (ML) vital signs to consider when tracking ML models in production to ensure model reliability, consistency and performance in the future. Many thanks to Don Miner for collaborating with Domino on this article. For additional vital signs and insight beyond what is provided in this article, attend the webinar.
