Machine learning and data science are full of best practices and important workflows. Can we extrapolate these to our broader lives? Eugene Yan and I give it a shot on this slightly more philosophical episode of Talk Python To Me.
<br/>
<br/>
The seven lessons:
<br/>
<br/>
1. Data cleaning: Assess what you consume
<br/>
2. Low vs. high signal data: Seek to disconfirm and update
<br/>
3. Explore-Exploit: Balance for greater long-term reward
<br/>
4. Transfer Learning: Books and papers are cheat codes
<br/>
5. Iterations: Find reps you can tolerate, and iterate fast
<br/>
6. Overfitting: Focus on intuition and keep learning
<br/>
7. Ensembling: Diversity is strength<br/>
