Machine Learning
This open-source platform tracks machine learning experiments, models, and their performance metrics.
What is MLflow?
Quiz
These are specific metrics that are used to evaluate the success of a business or project?
What is Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)
Quiz
This mathematical space, inspired by quantum mechanics and used in quantum ML, represents classical data in high-dimensional Hilbert spaces.
What is a quantum embedding space?
These values explain individual predictions by showing how each feature contributes positively or negatively to a specific prediction.
What are SHAP values?
This Git-based feature in Azure DevOps allows teams to efficiently manage and collaborate on code, supporting branching strategies like GitFlow, with built-in policies to ensure that pull requests meet certain criteria, such as code reviews, successful builds, and required approvals before merging.
What is Branch Policies?
The portion of the total market that a business can realistically reach with its limited resources
What is the Service Addressable Market (SAM)
AltaML is created as a combination of which terms?
What is Alberta and Machine Learning? (sorry Toronto office people!)
This computational technique, heavily utilized in particle physics experiments repeatedly samples random processes to simulate complex particle interactions.
What is a Monte Carlo simulation?
This phenomenon occurs when highly correlated predictor variables compete to share importance, causing Random Forest feature importance measures to underestimate the true impact of these correlated features.
What is feature importance dilution (or feature masking)?
What is the term for the deployment strategy where changes in software version are rolled out to a small subset of users before making it available for everyone?
What is Canary Release?
A clause in most executive employment contracts that ensures a significant severance package for executives
What is Golden Parachute?
Name someone who is currently with AltaML (including executives, staff, and associates) who has military experience
What is Darren Evans (from the Calgary Office) or Christian Levan (from the Toronto Office)?
Inspired by quantum tunneling, this optimization algorithm probabilistically escapes local minima by allowing jumps to higher-energy states, useful for training ML models on highly complex, non-convex problems.
What is Quantum Annealing?
In Random Forest, this technique randomly selects subsets of data and features when building each tree to reduce correlation and improve performance.
What is bagging?
A visual project management tool that displays project tasks over time, showing the start and finish dates
What is Gantt Chart?
This type of optimization problem, commonly used in quantum machine learning and quantum computing, formulates tasks as minimizing binary quadratic functions, enabling efficient solutions on quantum annealers.
What is a Quadratic Unconstrained Binary Optimization (QUBO) problem?
In severely imbalanced datasets, this specialized technique trains each decision tree within the Random Forest using balanced bootstrap samples, ensuring minority classes are equally represented during learning.
What is balanced (stratified) subsampling?
This Azure DevOps feature allows you to track progress by visualizing the flow of work items across stages, enabling teams to identify bottlenecks, cycle times, and optimize delivery pipelines through customizable workflows and boards.
What is Kanban?
Business Calculation Question
AltaML is working with a company to evaluate the performance of their recent marketing campaign. The company has the following financial details for the campaign:
Campaign Revenue: $500,000
Campaign Costs: $200,000
Additional Costs (including advertising, product promotions, etc.): $100,000
Calculate the company's Return on Investment (ROI) for the campaign. Assume that there are no other costs or extraordinary items involved.
What is 66.7%?
(3.3m in estimated cost savings!!!!)
Quantum diffusion models enhance classical ML diffusion methods by leveraging this uniquely quantum phenomenon, characterized by particles probabilistically tunneling through energy barriers, improving the exploration of data distributions.
