1/ Some folks at Stripe built ModelingCovid.com. While no model is perfect, it does three things a bit differently: (1) goes to extensive lengths to fit a sensible parametric model to observed data (both medical and mobility);

Nice post by @_rchang about real-life ML, beyond “laptop data science”
I just published “Getting Better at Machine Learning” medium.com/@rchang/getting-b…, which summarizes my recent learnings on how to approach real-life ML projects. #pydata #rstats #machinelearning

I would say metrics and evaluation are critical for not only modeling, but also for most analyses, research, data-driven decision making.
Some advice for people getting into data science/machine learning/AI/etc: metrics and evaluation are the most important thing. Know how to evaluate your model and how to measure and explain its performance over time. Know in which situations it does well or poorly, and why.

Completely agree w this thread. We have a hybrid embedded model @stripe (based on the exp of LI and many other companies), which I like to think of as combining the best of both centralized and decentralized. teapawt.org/gjreda/status/10175109…

I always consider that the shape of the future is in our hands. The past is past and can’t be changed, but the future has not yet arrived. Young people have the opportunity and responsibility to shape it by creating a better world.
