I once saw a discussion on LinkedIn about a fraud detection model that had been built but never used. The model worked — it was expensive — but it just simply didn’t get used because the humans in the loop were not incentivized to use it.

 

It was on this very thread that I first met Salesforce Director of Product Management Pavan Tuvu, who chimed in on the thread about a similar experience he went through. When I heard about his experience, I asked him if he would share it with you and he agreed. So, today on the Experiencing Data podcast, I’m excited to have Pavan on to talk about some  lessons he learned while designing ad-spend software that utilized advanced analytics — and the role of the humans in the loop. We discussed:

  • Pavan's work protecting large-dollar advertising accounts from bad actors by designing a ML system that predicts and caps ad spending. (6:10)
