Key lessons from our ML practitioners
- Transfer learning with DSM
The use of multiple regularization techniques while optimizing the feature map for target tasks helps avoid the overall drop in performance and negative transfers when applying transfer learning to Domain Specific Models.
- Model fine-tuning is key
Tuning models during and post training through quantization and pruning could reduce model size by a factor of 4 & improves speed without impacting precision which is critical to AI on edge devices.
- The inevitable dimensionality
Having a good sense for the data and working with business domain experts to analyze and evaluate every move could help in avoiding the curse of dimensionality while training classifiers in high-dimensional spaces.
From model-centric to data-centric Machine Learning
AI system today consist mainly of machine learning algorithms that manipulate and process data to build predictive models. While continuously working on ML models and trying different techniques to optimize neural networks is critical to the success of AI products; improving data quality and data labeling process is found to be of a greater importance to AI initiatives.
Consistency of data collection and the manual labeling of the data could make all the difference in setting "the Ground Truth" in data sets for machine learning algorithms.
While our team puts a lot of emphasis on every step of the lifecycle of our machine learning products, including model architecture, model training, error analysis & iterative improvements, we also design project-specific frameworks and processes for data acquisition, augmentation and labeling that significantly impacts model accuracy when tested in production against real-world scenarios.
