Also, happy to share our learnings of working with a social media customer. For them, key motivation was to understand where the model is failing and hence, understand how to improve it. They started with offline experiments with focus on improving AUC but the graph saturates pretty quickly. While an incremental model improvement didn't lead to a sizeable change in offline metrics, it can impact retention of a certain user group and hence, overall revenue. They are using us to get insights on online experimentation. They have defined custom measures to monitor the distribution of model outputs and are able to determine the difference in model's performance much more effectively as compared to relying on changes in business metrics like retention, revenue, etc. This helps them to find out poor-performing cohorts and roll-out model improvements in weeks, not months. Would also love to hear what issues you ran into?
