Retraining

A neural network perspective on learning, unlearning and relearningPhoto by Mary Blackwey on UnsplashIn a rapidly changing world, humans are required to quickly adapt to a new environment. Neural networks show why this is easier said than done. Our article uses a perceptron to demonstrate why unlearning and relearning can be costlier than learning from scratch.IntroductionOne of the positive side effects of artificial intelligence (AI) is that it can help us to better understand our own human intelligence. Ironically, AI…

Keke Palmer‘s ex-partner Darius Jackson has filed a response to the actress’ request for a domestic violence retraining order. In November, Palmer was granted temporary sole custody of their 9-month-old child, as well as a temporary restraining order, after she accused Jackson of physical and emotional abuse. In a response obtained by Rolling Stone, Jackson disagreed with the requested orders, including contact limitations and terms of child custody and visitation. The documents find Jackson claiming that Palmer…

Retraining churn models presents unique challenges that need special attentionPhoto by CrowN on UnsplashRetraining machine learning models, especially those focused on customer churn prediction, is an essential step to ensure their relevancy and accuracy over time. However, retraining churn models presents unique challenges that need special attention. Among the most notable is distinguishing between causal effects of interventions — identify customers who stayed due to the proactive retention program to target them…

Last Updated: May 31, 2023, 17:07 ISTHere's Why Indians Follow Left-Hand Driving While Americans Prefer The Right?The choice of driving side in a country is just one among many factors that can influence road safetyEver wondered about the reasons behind different countries driving on either the left or right side of the road? The answer lies in a combination of historical, cultural, and scientific factors. In the past, during the era of horse-drawn carriages, it was customary for people to keep to the left side of the…

Efficiently manage and deploy production models with MLflowPhoto by Karsten Winegeart on UnsplashGetting a working machine learning model deployed for user consumption is a great achievement. We see statistics showing that machine learning models often fail to make it into production, whether this is due to insufficient data, lack of direction or other reasons.Models which do make it into production still face many challenges as they require consistent attention in the forms of monitoring and retraining to ensure the…

Designing scalable architecture for online and offline continuous learning systemsEver since I read Chip Huyen’s Real-time machine learning: challenges and solutions, I’ve been thinking about the future of machine learning in production. Short feedback loops, real-time features, and stateful ML model deployments capable of learning online merit a very different sort of systems architecture that many of the stateless ML model deployments I work with today.Me thinking ‘bout stateful ML in Cozumel, MX — Image by AuthorFor…

Image by authorHow to move away from retraining at a set cadence (or not at all) in favor of a dynamic approachThis piece was co-authored by Trevor LaVialeWhile the industry has invested a lot in processes and techniques for knowing when to deploy a model into production, there is arguably less collective knowledge on the equally important task of knowing when to retrain a model. In truth, knowing when to retrain a model is hard due to factors like delays in feedback or labels for live predictions. In practice, many…

Jaguar Land Rover revealed its new program Wednesday called the “future skills programme,” aimed at retraining 29,000 of its workforce to acquire the skills to develop, manufacture, and service modern luxury electric vehicles. The British luxury automaker has significant plans to introduce all Jaguar Land Rover vehicles in EV form by 2030, making it critical that its employees are on board for the transition. In February 2021, Jaguar Land Rover announced a major initiative called “Reimagine,” revealing the…
