We started Know Your Data last year while still working on TensorFlow.js when we realized that ML developers and researchers weren’t spending enough time looking at and cleaning their datasets. So we set out to build a tool that would visualize machine learning datasets.

We are very excited to announce Know Your Data, a tool that we’ve been working on for over a year. We’ve been using it inside Google and today we're sharing a beta version. Try it here → knowyourdata.withgoogle.com Here is a thread with a few features of the tool: 1/8

A case study on the Coco Captions dataset shows how simple statistics can often reveal unintentional bias in the data collection and annotation process. The analysis was done by
@cephaloponderer
,
@blahtino
and
@alexhanna
using the knowyourdata.withgoogle.com tool.

Check out a case study with Know Your Data — a dataset exploration tool introduced earlier this year at Google I/O — that highlights how biases can be traced to both dataset collection and annotation practices. goo.gle/3CzY0WQ

Interested in working with the PAIR team at Google on projects like Know Your Data? Apply here, we're hiring! And yes, "full stack": we really care about folks thinking about the intersection between UX / frontend and large scale data munging. careers.google.com/jobs/results/1

Thank you 🙏 for graduating a research tool to a full fledged production service. I’ve learned so much about prod at Google in the last couple of months from all of you!

I'm grateful to work at a company that rolls up its sleeves to fight ML bias. I formed a 20% Reliability/Productivity team to launch #KnowYourData at scale: knowyourdata.withgoogle.com. Just another day in my @LifeAtGoogle #wearehiring #sre #engprod #fightmlbias #GooglePAIR #GoogleIO

Thank you for your ideas and suggestions on the tool, and especially the nPMI idea which became the Relations tab!

New really cool tool from Google to analyze your datasets. I was able to help with this and I'm sad not to be there for this announcement. It's neat and useful, and has a lot more awesome stuff on the roadmap. twitter.com/googledevs/sta…

With KYD we aim to raise the bar for publishing a dataset. Just like research papers come with reproducible code, we want datasets to be accompanied by an interactive tool. We also hope that dataset owners will use the tool to improve their datasets.

We want people from wider backgrounds to have access to ML technologies, so we launched a beta of Know Your Data for
@TensorFlow
Datasets. We hope for your feedback to make the tool usable not only by ML researchers, but also by PMs, engineers, and other decision makers.

It’s so important to have mini, educational version of an ML model, especially since it lends itself to interactive visualizations that can help us understand it better. Looking forward to seeing those visualizations come out!

I wrote a minimal/educational GPT training library in PyTorch, am calling it minGPT as it is only around ~300 lines of code: github.com/karpathy/minGPT +demos for addition and character-level language model. (quick weekend project, may contain sharp edges)

A really nice tool for debugging language-based models! Goes to show you the potential when visualization experts partner with domain (NLP) experts! It’s 🔥

We make a ton of engineering and human decisions when building even the simplest ML models. This podcast breaks those decisions down, step by step, giving us a fresh perspective on ML.

🎙️Super excited to launch a new project with @dweinberger! “Tic-Tac-Toe the Hard Way” is a 9 episode introductory podcast about the human choices that go into making machine learning systems. More at pair.withgoogle.com/thehardway/

Finalization is advancing to stage 4 (ready for inclusion to the standard)! This is super relevant to libraries that are using WebGL and WASM, such as TensorFlow.js where we do manual memory management. tidy() is here to stay but Weakrefs will help a lot with one-off tensor leaks

ECMAScript excitement 😉 Today TC39 advanced these features to Stage-4 🎉 - Intl.ListFormat - Intl.DateTimeFormat: dateStyle & timeStyle - Logical Assignment (&&= ||= ??=) - Numeric Separators (1_000) - Promise.any & AggregateError - WeakRefs & FinalizationRegistry

International students: I know how resilient you can be. I was one of you. Work with your peers and schools to figure out a plan so your visa stays valid. Use your resilience to minimize the damage. Give the US another chance. I will use my voice and my vote and we will fix this.
