Companies that understand how to apply AI will scale and win their respective markets over the next decade. That said, delivering on this promise and managing machine learning projects is much harder than most people anticpate. Many organizations hire teams of PhDs and data scientists, then fail to ship products that move business metrics. The root cause is often a lack of product strategy for AI, or the failure to adapt their product development processes to the needs of machine learning systems. This talk will cover some of the common ways machine learning fails in practice, the tactical responsibilities of AI product managers, and how to approach product strategy for AI.
Peter Skomoroch, former Head of Data Products at Workday and LinkedIn, will describe how you can navigate these challenges to ship metric moving AI products that matter to your business.
Peter will provide practical advice on:
* The role of an AI Product Manager
* How to evaluate and prioritize your AI projects
* The ways AI product management differs from traditional product management
* Bridging the worlds of design and machine learning
* Making trade offs between data quality and other business metrics
Artificial Intelligence for Product Managers by former Yahoo! PMProduct School
Jobs requiring artificial intelligence skills in the US has grown 450% in the last five years. Corporations are seeking relentlessly for product leaders who can utilize AI technologies on their products and services to improve the company’s bottom line or top line. It's called the Fourth Industrial Revolution, and it is happening right here, right now.
However, as a Product Manager, how do you gain the necessary knowledge to analyze, understand, plan, and design products based on artificial intelligence technologies? Since you cannot get a college degree in AI Product Management, how do you adapt to this rapid change? In this talk, Adnan helped to answer these questions.

A Framework for Navigating Generative Artificial Intelligence for EnterpriseRocketSource
Generative AI has dominated the headlines recently, which has caused many enterprises to put a full stop to implementing this technology until they can understand what’s behind the glitz and glamour. What if we shifted the conversation? What if the focus became a fresh, incremental approach to embracing the opportunities with generative artificial intelligence to keep organizations moving upward on the S Curve of Growth?
Brands stay relevant and solve complex problems by testing the barometer for one thing — will a new strategy, tool, or piece of technology improve humanity?
Human connections are more vital than using shiny new tools or technology. As your teams work to steer clear of the temptation to do what everyone else is doing in uniform, this post will highlight how to stand out, compete, and do so with less risk in today’s world of generative AI overload.
Today, I will be presenting on the topic of
"Generative AI, responsible innovation, and the law."
Artificial Intelligence has been making rapid strides in recent years,
and its applications are becoming increasingly diverse.
Generative AI, in particular, has emerged as a promising area of innovation, the potential to create highly realistic and compelling outputs.
Chat GPT 4 can pass the American state bar exam, but before you go expecting to see robot lawyers taking over the courtroom, hold your horses cowboys – we're not quite there yet. That being said, AI is becoming increasingly more human-like, and as a VC we need to start thinking about how this new wave of technology is going to affect the way we build and run businesses. What do we need to do differently? How can we make sure that our investment strategies are reflecting these changes? It's a brave new world out there, and we’ve got to keep the big picture in mind!

Model governance in the age of data science & AIQuantUniversity
As more and more open-source technologies penetrate enterprises, data scientists have a plethora of choices for building, testing and scaling models. In addition, data scientists have been able to leverage the growing support for cloud-based infrastructure and open data sets to develop machine learning applications. Even though there are multiple solutions and platforms available to build machine learning solutions, challenges remain in adopting machine learning in the enterprise. Many of the challenges are associated with how machine learning process can be formalized. As the field matures, formal mechanism for a replicable, interpretable, auditable process for a complete machine learning pipeline from data ingestion to deployment is warranted. Projects like Docker, Binderhub, MLFlow are efforts in this quest and research and industry efforts on replicable machine learning processes are gaining steam. Heavily regulated industries like financial and healthcare industries are looking for best practices to enable their research teams to reproduce research and adopt best practices in model governance. In this talk, we will discuss the challenges and best practices of governing AI and ML model in the enterprise
This talk overviews my background as a female data scientist, introduces many types of generative AI, discusses potential use cases, highlights the need for representation in generative AI, and showcases a few tools that currently exist.

Executive Briefing: Why managing machines is harder than you thinkPeter Skomoroch
Companies that understand how to apply machine intelligence will scale and win their respective markets over the next decade. That said, delivering on this promise is much harder than most executives realize. Without large amounts of labeled training data, solving most AI problems isn’t possible. The talent and leadership to bridge the worlds of product design, machine learning research, and user experience are scarce. Many organizations will tackle the wrong problems and fail to ship successful AI products that matter to their customers.
Pete Skomoroch explains how to navigate these challenges and build a business where every product interaction benefits from your investment in machine intelligence.
This talk was presented at the 2019 Strata Data Conference in London.
Topics include:
Who defines the data vision and roadmap in your organization?
Who is accountable for building and expanding your competitive moat?
Investing in foundational data infrastructure, training, logging, and tools
Fostering executive support for exploration and innovation, including user-facing data product and algorithm development
How to evaluate new machine intelligence projects and develop a portfolio that delivers

About the webinar
It’s no secret that a well-organized product catalog becomes extremely crucial as consumers look for a more rich and consistent online experience while E-shopping. Often, the task of digitizing the catalog of the fast-moving and large volume products becomes daunting due to insufficient, erroneous and fragmented data.
This leads us to the question: If E-commerce and fashion companies need to be agile and consumer-friendly, then why are so many still using the same product catalog management methods that were devised years ago? The manual product classification and data attribution process are only leading to an increased risk of error and time delay affecting the brand reputation. Also, leading to lost sales opportunities due to incomplete or inaccurate product records that don’t really reflect the actual product.
In this webinar, we will discuss how to efficiently manage machine learning projects without tech headaches by plugging in your data and building your models instantly.
What you'll learn
- How E-commerce companies are using AI to drive more sales and seamless customer experience
- Know the secret sauce of automating time-intensive, repetitive steps to quickly build models
- Demo: A deeper understanding of the end-to-end machine learning workflow for a fashion product catalog management using Skyl.ai

[DSC Europe 22] The Making of a Data Organization - Denys HolovatyiDataScienceConferenc1
Data teams often struggle to deliver value. KPIs, data pipelines, or ML driven predictions aren't inherently useful - unless the data team enables the business to use them. Having worked on 37 data projects over the past 5 years, with total client revenue clocking at about $350B, I started noticing simple success factors - and summarized those in the Operating Model Canvas & the Value Delivery Process. With those, I branched out into what I call data organization consulting and help clients build their data teams for success, the one you see not only on paper but also in your P&L. In this talk, I'll share some insight with you.
We explain the history of our agile organization with a focus on the latest round of evolution of our Product and Engineering organization, moving from business-oriented feature teams to mission teams.
Successful artificial intelligence enables organizations to capture the thought process of top performers and deploy it as a virtual coach. Combining artificial intelligence with expert knowledge, metadata generation, auto-classification, and taxonomy management delivers great knowledge transfer.

Why there is a need for Customer 360 and what the proposed cloud based solution is. We cover the stages of strategic marketing and how Oracle BI can help.
Machine learning drove massive growth at consumer internet companies over the last decade, and this was enabled by open software, datasets, and AI research. For many problems, machine learning will produce better, faster, and more repeatable decisions at scale. Unfortunately, building and maintaining these systems is still extremely difficult and expensive. As more machine learning software moves to production, many of our traditional tools and best practices in software development will change.
Pete Skomoroch walks you through what you need to know as we shift from a world of deterministic programs to systems that give unpredictable results on ever-changing training data. To navigate this world powered by nondeterministic data-dependent programs, we’ll also need a new development stack to help us write, test, deploy, and monitor machine learning software.
Presented at OSCON Portland July 18, 2019
Warren Buffet would often think of companies as castles with a competitive moat protecting the business. Products or companies that figure out how to build and leverage differentiated data assets will be best positioned to win their respective markets. This talk describes the properties of a good data moat, why it matters, and how to go about building them within your organization.
Talk from the first O'Reilly Strata, Feb 2011. Learn how to leverage data exhaust, the digital byproduct of our online activities, to solve problems and discover insights about the world around you. We will walk through a real world example which combines several datasets and statistical techniques to discover insights and make predictions about attendees at O'Reilly Strata.
Includes a preview of some of the technology behind LinkedIn Skills, which I launched in a Keynote with DJ Patil the following day.

Practical Problem Solving with Data - Onlab Data Conference, TokyoPeter Skomoroch
Practical problem solving with data involves more than just visualization or applying the latest machine learning techniques. Intuition, domain knowledge, and reasonable approximations can mean the difference between a successful model and a catastrophic failure. Good problem solvers deeply analyze available data, improvise solutions using their unique assets, anticipate outcomes and issues, and adapt their techniques over time.
Practical problem solving with data involves more than just visualization or applying the latest machine learning techniques. Intuition, domain knowledge, and reasonable approximations can mean the difference between a successful model and a catastrophic failure. We’ll dive into some best practices I’ve extracted from solving real world problems like computing trending topics, cleaning election data, and ranking experts on social networks.
New analysts or engineers are often lost when textbook approaches fail on real world data. Drawing inspiration from problem solving techniques in mathematics and physics, we will walk through examples that illustrate how come up with creative solutions and solve problems with big data.
As large datasets come together exciting and unexpected things can happen. Human behavior is high dimensional, so combining many diverse datasets is critical to revealing actionable insights.

PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.
"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

2. Product Management for AI
Peter Skomoroch - @peteskomoroch
Rev 2 Data Science Leaders Summit, NYC - May 24, 2019
3. Background: Machine Learning & Data Products
Peter Skomoroch
@peteskomoroch
• Co-Founder and CEO of SkipFlag, Enterprise AI
startup acquired in 2018 by Workday
• 18+ years building machine learning products
• Principal Data Scientist, ran Data Products team at
LinkedIn. ML & Search at MIT, AOL, ProfitLogic
• Co-Host of O’Reilly AI Bots Podcast, Startup Advisor
5. Machine Learning Projects are Hard
• The transition to machine learning will be about 100x harder than the
transition to mobile apps
• Some of the biggest challenges are organizational, not technical
• Data driven companies like Google and Facebook have a strategic
advantage building ML products based on their data & compute assets,
large user population, tracking & instrumentation, and AI talent
6. The Role of an AI Product Manager
Image source: Martin Eriksson https://www.mindtheproduct.com/2011/10/what-exactly-is-a-product-manager/
• An AI Product Manager (PM) has
core product skills (strategy,
roadmaps, prioritization, etc.)
along with an intuitive grasp of
ML
• They help identify and prioritize
the highest value applications for
machine learning and do what it
takes to make them successful
7. Good AI Product Managers Have Data Expertise
• Know the difference between easy, hard, and impossible machine
learning problems
• Even if something is feasible from a machine learning perspective,
the level of effort may not justify building the feature
• Know your company’s data inside and out including quality issues,
limitations, biases, and gaps that need to be addressed
• Develop an intuitive understanding of your company’s data and how
it can be used to solve customer problems
8. How to evaluate and prioritize your AI projects
• Start with your mission and strategic objectives, and select projects
that align well with those goals
• LinkedIn mission: “Connect the world's professionals to make them
more productive and successful”
• Example strategy: “To be the professional profile of record”
• Get everyone in a room, group project ideas by theme and make “T-
shirt sized” estimates (L/M/S) of impact and difficulty for each idea.
• Rank and prioritize projects by ROI where possible
10. ML Adds Uncertainty to Product Roadmaps
• PMs are often uncomfortable with expensive ideas that have an
uncertain probability of success
• Many organizations will struggle to justify the expense of projects
that require significant research investment upfront
• Some ML products may need to be split into time boxed projects that
get to market in a shorter time frame
• What can you productize now vs. much later on?
• Keep track of dependencies on other teams and have a “Plan B”
11. If you only do things where you know
the answer in advance, your company
goes away.
Jeff Bezos
Founder, Chairman & CEO of Amazon.com
• Machine Learning shifts
engineering from a deterministic
process to a probabilistic one
• Take intelligent risks
• Most successful ML products are
experiments at massive scale
• Companies driven by analytics
and experimental insights are
more likely to succeed
Experimental Culture
12. ML Product Development Process
1. Verify you are solving the right problem
2. Theory + model design (in parallel with UI design)
3. Data collection, labelling, and cleaning
4. Feature engineering, model training, offline validation
5. Model deployment, monitoring & large scale training
• Iterate: repeat process, refine live model & improve
• 80% of effort and gains come from iterations after shipping v 1.0
• Use derived data from the system to build new products
14. Every single company I've worked at
and talked to has the same problem
without a single exception so far —
poor data quality, especially tracking
data
Ruslan Belkin
VP of Engineering, Salesforce.com
• Guide user input when you can
• Use auto suggest fields
• Validate user inputs, emails
• Collect user tags, votes, ratings
• Track impressions, queries, clicks
• Sessionize logs
• Disambiguate and annotate
entities (company names,
locations, etc.)
Data Quality & Standardization
15. Testing Machine Learning Products
• Algorithm work that drags on without integration in the product where it can
be seen and tested by real users is risky
• Ship a complete MVP in production ASAP, benchmark, and iterate
• Beware unintended consequences from seemingly small product changes
• Remember the prototype is not the product - see what happens when you
use a more realistic data set or scale up your inputs
• Real world data changes over time, ensure your model tests and
benchmarks keep up with changes in underlying data
• Machine learning systems tend to fail in unexpected ways
17. Flywheel Effects & AI Products
• Users generate data as a side effect of
using most software products
• That data in turn, can improve the
product’s algorithms and enable new
types of recommendations, leading to
more data
• These “Flywheels” get better the more
customers use them leading to unique
competitive moats
• This works well in platforms, networks or
marketplaces where value compounds
* https://medium.freecodecamp.org/the-business-implications-of-machine-learning-11480b99184d
18. Final Thoughts
• Machine learning products are hard to
build, but within reach of teams who
invest in data infrastructure
• Some of the biggest challenges are
organizational, not technical
• Good product leaders are a key factor in
shipping successful ML products
• Find a machine learning application with
a direct connection to a metric your
organization values and ship it
