🥜 Meta’s Clever Idea to Handle Uncertainty in ML models
Was this email forwarded to you? Sign up here 📝 EditorialInterpretability is one of the most important areas of the new generation of machine learning (ML) platforms. Within the space of interpretability, nothing requires more attention than handling uncertainty in ML models. Uncertainty is one of the top factors that breaks the performance of ML models and one that is particularly difficult to model. After all, how can you effectively plan for things you haven’t seen before? Dealing with uncertainty in the real world forces us to think in terms of probabilities. Can we use probabilistic programming languages (PPL) to improve interpretability in ML models? Meta (Facebook) thinks we can and should. This week, Meta (Facebook) AI Research (FAIR) released Bean Machine, a PPL optimized for estimating uncertainty in outputs from ML models. Essentially, Bean Machine can take into account the impact that random events can have on the outputs of the predictions. More specifically, Bean Machine uses generative models to automatically learn the unobserved properties of ML models. Not surprisingly, the FAIR team chose PyTorch as the initial implementation of Bean Machine, which guarantees native interoperability with the rest of the ecosystem. PPLs have always been an important component of the ML ecosystem but using PPLs to improve interpretability in ML models is a super clever idea. We hope to see FAIR iterations on the Bean Machine release in the near future. 🔺🔻 TheSequence Scope is our Sunday free digest.
