Arthur Presents: Recommender Systems with Jacopo Tagliabue
<p>Jacopo Tagliabue is currently the founder of Bauplan and an adjunct professor of ML Systems at NYU. He was also the co-founder and CTO of Tooso, a NLP / IR startup in San Francisco acquired by Coveo. He led Coveo’s AI and MLOps roadmap from scale-up to IPO, and built out Coveo Labs, an applied R&D practice rooted in collaboration, open source, and open science.</p><p>Jacopo recently joined us at Arthur HQ for a chat with our Chief Scientist John Dickerson about:</p><ul><li>His experience from founder to acquisition through IPO</li><li>What it’s like integrating an MLOps team into a larger company</li><li>His new company, Bauplan</li><li>Predictions for the future of natural language, and what’s overhyped in the space</li><li>How recommender systems will impact the workforce, politics, and elections</li></ul><br/><p>Watch the video, including Jacopo’s presentation prior to the Q&A, on YouTube: <a href="https://youtu.be/EAjoTnyVGFs" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/EAjoTnyVGFs</a> </p><p>Learn more about Arthur: <a href="https://www.arthur.ai " rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.arthur.ai </a></p><p>Learn more about Jacopo: <a href="https://jacopotagliabue.it/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://jacopotagliabue.it/</a> </p><p>—</p><p>[1:36] Tell us a bit about yourself, your path to tech, NLP, Tooso, what it was like going through an IPO, etc.</p><p>[3:21] What is it like integrating an MLOps team into a larger company? And how does MLOps scale during that scale-up phase?</p><p>[5:21] You’ve done a lot of publicity around talking about enabling applied research at a reasonable scale or at a startup scale. Not at Microsoft or Google scale—at a strong company, but not one with the deepest pockets in the world. Would you like to share any learnings from that?</p><p>[9:37] Do you have suggestions for somebody going from zero to one building out their own MLOps stack right now?</p><p>[12:08] Were there any learnings or feedback from the community regarding RecList that you’d like to share or that impacted future versions?</p><p>[13:35] I know you’re founding a new company. Want to share a quick sentence or two on that?</p><p>[14:41] What’s hot or what’s overhyped right now in natural language? Any short- or long-term predictions?</p><p>[18:27] Audience Q&A</p><p>[18:36] How do you think about the causal effects of multiple recommendations, one after another, like a banded-style evaluation? Do you think that’s the kind of thing that only big tech companies need to care about, or is the kind of thing that smaller companies should think about in the evaluation of the recommendation systems?</p><p>[20:04] What’s the most exciting opportunity you see in recommender systems in the coming years?</p><p>[21:23] You mentioned you had a contentious opinion about using ChatGPT to do model deployment. Can you expand on that? </p><p>[22:17] What do you think about offline policy evaluation?</p><p>[24:20] I know we’re talking a lot about how language models will change the workforce at large and put people out of their jobs and things like that. How do you think that advances in recommendations will impact larger career changes and workforce things? </p><p>[26:05] What about recommending in the political space and how that is impacting elections, democracy, things like that?</p>

Arthur Presents: The Future of MLOps with Diego Oppenheimer
<p>Diego Oppenheimer is an entrepreneur, product developer, and investor with an extensive background in all things data. He’s currently a Partner at Factory HQ and was previously an EVP at DataRobot as well as the founder & CEO of Algorithmia. Diego recently joined Arthur’s CEO, Adam Wenchel, for a fireside chat where they talked about:</p><ul><li>His founder journey at Algorithmia, which paved the way as one of the first MLOps companies</li><li>His thoughts on the ChatGPT and LLM hype, and how he sees that playing out in the next few years</li><li>The tooling needed to support those adopting foundation/language models</li><li>His opinions on the term “LLMOps”</li><li>What is currently missing from MLOps architecture that would allow people to scale their model production</li><li>The safety risks and pros/cons of government involvement with AI</li></ul><br/><p>Watch the video of the Diego's fireside chat on YouTube: <a href="https://bit.ly/40oDOSe" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://bit.ly/40oDOSe</a></p><p>Learn more about Arthur: <a href="https://bit.ly/40JXiC5" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://bit.ly/40JXiC5</a> </p><p>[1:22] As someone who has been deeply involved in the AI world for a long time, what’s your take on the current foundation model/LLM explosion? How big of a deal is it? </p><p>[2:12] Do you think the set of people who are going to be interacting with and using this technology will grow beyond the traditional ML engineers and data scientists?</p><p>[4:01] Tell us a little bit about Factory and what you all are doing. </p><p>[6:42] Before Factory, tell us a little bit more about your founder’s journey at Algorithmia.</p><p>[8:36] What were customer conversations like back in 2014 when no one was talking about MLOps?</p><p>[9:48] A lot of investment is now going toward companies that are automating certain current human-based workflows through LLMs, and some are a very tiny layer on top of OpenAI or another off-the-shelf foundation model. How do you see this playing out over the next 6-12 months and where will the value be created? Which companies will become the pillars?</p><p>[16:11] How do you see the “LLMOps” ecosystem growing and extending beyond MLOps?</p><p>[19:44] In Arthur’s 4-year journey, we’ve seen customers go from having just a handful of models in production to, in some cases, hundreds—and soon enough, they’ll have tens of thousands. What, in your opinion, breaks when it comes to MLOps at this kind of scale?</p><p>[21:36] What still frustrates you about the space and what can the community do to address some of that?</p><p>[23:19] Do you think what we’re seeing with foundation models will stay within the realm of unstructured data, or will we see it with structured data at some point as well?</p><p>[24:43] What do you think about clearing houses of shared models like HuggingFace? At what point can we stop creating so many similar models and just reuse existing ones that are close enough? </p><p>[26:19] What do you make of the head training wrappers for LLMs as a business model—basically creating domain experts for customers. Is this a short-lived trend?</p><p>[27:38] A letter came out recently from Elon Musk and some other AI folks, saying we should pause training on “giant models” for the next 6 months. What are your thoughts on that and how we should be thinking about AI safety with these models in general?</p><p>[30:31] If you could conjure up a startup to automate any part of your life using LLMs, what would you like to see?</p>

Arthur Presents: Differential Privacy with Dr. Rachel Cummings
<p>Joining us at Arthur HQ in this episode is Dr. Rachel Cummings, an Associate Professor of Industrial Engineering & Operations Research at Columbia University who is known for her principled and practical work in differential and data privacy, crossing machine learning and public policy. She sat down for a chat with our Chief Scientist John Dickerson about:</p><ul><li>Her work in differential privacy, which is at the intersection of academia, industry, and policy</li><li>How she got into the field of differential privacy, what she likes about it, and what she would change</li><li>Her advice for people interested in academia, policy, or differential privacy in general</li><li>What she’d say to present-day policymakers</li><li>What areas of tech she thinks are overhyped and risky, and her predictions for the next decade</li><li>Considerations around the tradeoff between privacy and accuracy</li></ul><br/><p><strong>Watch the video, including Rachel's research presentation prior to the Q&A, </strong><a href="https://bit.ly/3Ki7lHc " rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>on Youtube</strong></a>: <a href="https://bit.ly/3Ki7lHc" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://bit.ly/3Ki7lHc</a> </p><p><a href="https://bit.ly/40JXiC5" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Learn more about Arthur</a>: <a href="https://bit.ly/40JXiC5" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://bit.ly/40JXiC5</a> </p><p><a href="https://bit.ly/40Ml6oE " rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Learn more about Rachel</a>: <a href="https://bit.ly/40Ml6oE" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://bit.ly/40Ml6oE</a> </p><p>[2:48] Tell us more about yourself, what led you to Columbia and to economics/ML/differential privacy?</p><p>[5:11] What advice do you have for someone who wants to move into differential privacy and privacy research writ large, whether it’s an academic/research focus or a policy/communications focus?</p><p>[7:15] Do you have any advice for present-day policymakers?</p><p>[8:52] If you could change one thing about the field, what would it be?</p><p>[11:00] What are your predictions for the next 1-3 years? What’s overhyped right now? Do you have some hope for breakthroughs? Where can we see business impact or policy impact immediately?</p><p>[12:42] What are your predictions for the next 10 years? What are the biggest opportunities or things you would focus on if you were just getting into the field? </p><p>[14:57] What are some risks or things to look out for?</p><p>Audience Q&A</p><p>[16:21] Differential privacy’s goal is to not have to reason about background knowledge or prior belief, but people think about privacy in a manner that requires reasoning about priors. Is it possible that differential privacy is just not compatible with what people want from privacy? </p><p>[20:39] How do you see the areas of cryptography and differential privacy cooperating in the future?</p><p>[22:48] When you were structuring your research with your collaborators, were there particular industry verticals or companies that you had in mind as potential adopters or that you would be interested in partnering with as the research progresses further?</p>
