Accurate Predictive Modeling with Maarit Widmann - ML 061
Ready to dive DEEP into predictive modeling? You’ve come to the right podcast. In this episode, Ben and Michael sit down with Maarit Widmann, a data scientist whose bread and butter is making models more accurate. They discuss how to effectively use confusion matrices and other tools, why you need to avoid THIS misconception to get accurate churn rates, and the BIG question you should be asking if your data seems off.
“If your model is failing, it’s probably been adding up for two weeks already. Instead of monitoring the accuracy, monitor the features. Ask ‘is the data changing?’”
- Maarit Widmann
In This Episode
1) The THREE techniques to help simplify these advanced concepts for beginners in the ML space (and why they need to know this stuff!)
2) Why you need to remember THIS misconception to avoid getting inaccurate churn rates from your models
3) How to effectively use confusion matrices, down sampling, and other popular tools for your models (and the biggest mistakes developers are making today)
4) The REAL question you need to ask yourself if your data seems off (and how this question helps prevent fraud!)

Mani provides us with strategies and tactics to get Deep Work time and how to get our minds into that focused state for hours at a time.
He has read hundreds of books that have taught him the secrets to getting more done by getting into this state.
He starts by telling us how he was passed over for a promotion at Qualcomm in favor of someone younger and less experienced and how that inspired him to figure out what the other guy was doing differently. He learned that he needed to get more done with the time he was spending on his projects.
The trick? Deep Work!
Deep Work is the ability to spend uninterrupted, focused time on a task to bend your entire mind toward the goal.

The 3 Essentials for Successful Job Outcomes - BONUS
Chuck dives into the 3 essentials for getting the next successful outcome you want in your career. Whether that's something simple like a raise or something more complex like going freelance, you can achieve it by working on 3 main areas.
First, building skills. The most obvious type of skills you'll need is technical skills. However, don't neglect your people skills and your organizational skills as well since you're often paid for how you work with people and enhance their work and how you put your work together in the most efficient ways.
Second, building relationships. Often other people will be able to help you find the opportunities or will be the ones to make the decisions that impact your ability to get the outcome you want. Having good relationships is key to having good outcomes.
Third, building recognition. Being known for being valuable in important ways allows you to leverage the skills you have to build better relationships and create opportunities to get what you need to get the outcomes you want by giving people what they want. A podcast is a great way to do all three. Chuck explains exactly how that works in this podcast and goes deeper as part of the Dev Influencers Accelerator.

BONUS: How Charles Max Wood Started Podcasting -- And You Can Too
Charles Max Wood goes into the origin story of his podcasting career and how it relates to his programming career. He starts with his interest from a young age in technology and his dreams of being a radio DJ. He moves quickly through college and into his first job after college where he was introduced to podcasts by a co-worker who had purchased an iPod.
He calls out several mentors like Gregg Pollack, Eric Berry, Nate Hopkins, Cliff Ravenscraft, David Brady, Dave Jackson, and many more.
He then explains what he'd do differently if he were starting today.

He has read hundreds of books that have taught him the secrets to getting more done by getting into this state.
He starts by telling us how he was passed over for a promotion at Qualcomm in favor of someone younger and less experienced and how that inspired him to figure out what the other guy was doing differently. He learned that he needed to get more done with the time he was spending on his projects.
The trick? Deep Work!
Deep Work is the ability to spend uninterrupted, focused time on a task to bend your entire mind toward the goal.
Other developers call it "Flow" or "the Zone."
