how about a George Box quote corollary: "no data is clean, but most is useful". #tdwiaccelerate
Finished my workshop on automl + GenAI at #MLWeek last week. I'm loving being able to introduce ideas into prompts for Claude and/or ChatGPT to do things I love doing but rarely see and get code to execute (it wrote over 6000 lines of code for me to use in demos...I created these within a few hours). One example is using ISLE (minitab.com/content/dam/www/…) which compresses GBM ensembles: reducing # of trees and tends to be more accurate on hold-out data. Prompt->code->run it.
Appreciate the insights on why LLMs struggle with breaking news.
I wonder how many humans are employed to fix them? This is why I recommend to those who ask me to not use LLMs open loop for mission critical tasks without human validation.

🧠 Predictive or generative AI? Why not both.
Join Dean Abbott at #MLWeek for a session on hybrid AI for retail fraud detection.

Read my latest in @Forbes: When #machinelearning fails to detect misinformation, medical conditions or spam, the cost of each error is subjective. Here’s how to apply #predictiveAI nonetheless. forbes.com/sites/ericsiegel/…

Read my latest @Forbes article. Stakeholders involved with #predictiveAI must ramp up on a semi-technical understanding that comes down to 1) what's predicted, 2) how well, and 3) what's done about it. forbes.com/sites/ericsiegel/… #bizML
I'll be back at Machine Learning Week, EU, this year in Munich! Changing my workshop to an AutoML/Predictive AI/Generative AI topic this time.
Hope to see many of you there!

👇 Devastating new paper. The lack of reliable world models will forever hobble LLMs (exactly as I conjectured in 2019).
Can language models be used as world simulators? In our ACL 2024 paper, we show -- not really.
GPT-4 is only ~60% accurate at simulating state changes based on common-sense tasks, like boiling water.

So glad you found it so helpful! Thanks for your comments and questions during the workshop.
Had an incredible time at @MLWeekUS ! The session on predictive and generative AI by @deanabb were truly insightful. Excited to apply what I've learned and see where this cutting-edge tech takes us next! #MLWeek #AI #MachineLearning
Onsite edition of #SanDiego #KNIME Data Connect will take place on Jan 9, 2024 at Extended Studies Center 5701 Hardy Ave San Diego, CA, 5PM onwards.
This event will showcase real world examples from practising marketing data scientists and Analyzing the customer journey from end to end using KNIME.
This is intended to be a monthly meetup, some in-person and some virtual.
