Ensuring Accuracy and Reliability with ML Model Validation

As demand for machine learning (ML) grows, rigorous testing and quality assurance are crucial. ML models need quality training data and robust algorithms. Without thorough testing, inaccurate outcomes can occur, especially in sectors like healthcare, finance, and transportation. A 2023 ScienceDirect report found data leakage in 294 academic publications across 17 disciplines, highlighting the need to address this issue in ML-based science.

RAG vs Fine-Tuning: Navigating the Path to Enhanced LLMs

RAG and Fine-Tuning are two prominent LLM customization approaches. While RAG involves providing external and dynamic resources to trained models, fine-tuning involves further training on specialized datasets, altering the model. Each approach can be used for different use cases. In this blog post, we explain each approach, compare the two and recommend when to use them and which pitfalls to avoid.

Think twice before you hire a QA engineer

When you’re ready to automate your manual tests, you might naturally think you need to hire someone with a technical skill set who specializes in automating end-to-end tests. That is, you might think you need to hire a QA engineer. It’s not an unreasonable assumption. But for many startups, it’s the wrong thing to do. QA engineers are quite expensive (in more ways than one), bottleneck release processes with their complex tooling, and can present other types of business risks.
