TL;DR ChatGPT has no sense of humor about vegan eggs How do I get a chicken to lay vegan eggs? ChatGPT: Unfortunately, it is not possible to get a chicken to lay vegan eggs as vegan eggs are made without the involvement of any animal or their by-products, including the chicken itself. Vegan eggs are …
*=Authors contributed equally Machine learning (ML) models can fail in unexpected ways in the real world, but not all model failures are equal. With finite time and resources, ML practitioners are forced to prioritize their model debugging and improvement efforts. Through interviews with 13 ML practitioners at Apple, we found that practitioners construct small targeted …

With the growing popularity of intelligent assistants (IAs), evaluating IA quality becomes an increasingly active field of research. This paper identifies and quantifies the feedback effect, a novel component in IA-user interactions: how the capabilities and limitations of the IA influence user behavior over time. First, we demonstrate that unhelpful responses from the IA cause …
In our previous blog, we identified the three layers to network data monetization. These were the data layer, the analytics layer and the automation layer. To address the network data value tree successfully, we must address the complexities of these three layers, which are essential for automated operations in telco. In the next part we …
