1. Identifying Use Cases For Machine Learning Arnab Biswas arnabbiswas1@gmail.com arnabbiswas1
2. • Identify your organization’s “X” most important strategic goals • What problems are you facing in achieving those goals? • Would those be good problems for ML?
3. Sources To Identify Problems Good For ML • Manual Data Analysis Process • Rule based decision/prediction making using software Ref: https://www.datarevenue.com/en-blog/the-ai-machine-learning-usecase-checklist
4. Manual Data Analysis • Enlist the processes which need your team to spend lot of time on data analysis • For each process • Is this process of analyzing data highly repetitive? • Do you need to scale this process to achieve our strategic goals? • Do we have relevant data for that? Note : Higher volume processes are preferred Ref: https://www.datarevenue.com/en-blog/the-ai-machine-learning-usecase-checklist
5. Software decision-making • List all software processes that repeatedly makes a decision or a prediction based on a set of rules • Even excel or simple scripts should be considered as software • Are there too many rules? • Are the rules too complex? • Could a human expert make a better decision than the software? Note : Higher volume processes are preferred Ref: https://www.datarevenue.com/en-blog/the-ai-machine-learning-usecase-checklist
6. Types of data • Tabular Data (Information from Assets, Maintenance Records, Tickets) • Image (Photos, Maps, Videos) • Language (Details of a ticket, Customer Chat) • Audio (Recorded Calls)
7. Validate Use cases
8. Evaluate Use Cases High Risk High Effort Value Low Risk Low Effort Big bubbles at this corner are preferred Ref: https://blog.dominodatalab.com/data-science-use-cases/
9. Evaluation Criteria • Value • Value of the knowledge gained by solving the use case using ML • Effort • Order of magnitude of the problem • Risk • Is the data predictive enough? • Is the volume of data sufficient? • Is the technique time tasted?
