I love using bandits in online systems. They are easy to understand conceptually, easy to implement, and allow you to explore a bigger policy space than you would be able to using a simple A/B test. They work great when the interpretability required is low, and window of opportunity for…

Experimentations are the bread and butter of most great product companies (albeit google takes it up a notch-where you could call it insanity). Experiments need to be designed with rigor so that there is confidence that the changes are right for the customers and the business as well.While Randomized controlled…

Coming up with a great set of metrics is an art in itself — they can lead to better Product Decision, makes it easier to align all stakeholder, and discovery around how your product is being used. Each Product will have 3–5 Key Metrics, that can provide a holistic view…

Two weeks earlier, we launched Cutouts on producthunt ( We were in product hunt’s top 5 product of the day! Check us out here.) We got a lot of requests from people to write about building a ML model for browser- so here we are! We wanted designed cutouts to…

My friend works at a company where they were still using email for their day to day communication, and where suffering from huge communication gaps. (Emails getting missed, important messages getting lost in the thread, no transparency). I suggested them to try out the free version of Slack, and they…

1) The innovation Empower Data Analyst/Software Engineer/Data Scientists to build state of the art computer vision solutions 2) Why do it? (The real pain) Current deep learning methods require a huge amount of data and compute. Most Companies can benefit from having some kind of in-house CV related algorithms. Yet the expertise and money required to build a production-grade solution…

The top metric at Kubric for the Data Science team is — “How do we reduce the amount of time spent by a designer on doing grunt work?”. We want to eliminate the grunt work that goes into micro-editing and quality checks so that designers can work on the stuff…

Tensorflow object detection API is a powerful tool for creating custom object detection/Segmentation mask model and deploying it, without getting too much into the model-building part. TF has an extensive list of models (check out model zoo) which can be used for transfer learning. One of the best parts about…

Variational Dropout was introduced by Yarin Gal as a mean to estimate uncertainties in prediction by neural networks. While this blog isn’t about variational dropout(Follow Yarin Gal’s Blog post for that), it is about the results that I saw while playing around with Variational dropout. If you are aware of…
