There is one topic that’s always my twitter Achilles heel: stats “vs” ML debates. Their existence frustrates me and I can never help myself. So, a few months back, I promised myself that the next time one came up, instead of entering the scrum, I’d just write a post. So.. 1/3https://twitter.com/JFutoma/status/1222837860803497984 …
great writeup..that last part about using stat methods to run evals is golden. only thing i'd add is the fact that systems that ultimately hit prod are usually a combination like multi arm bandits. is that stat?ml? does it even matter?
