Sensemaking Practices in the Everyday Work of AI/ML Software Engineering
This paper considers sensemaking as it relates to everyday software engineering (SE) work practices and draws on a multi-year ethnographic study of SE projects at a large, global technology company building digital services infused with artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) capabilities. Our findings highlight the breadth of sensemaking practices in AI/ML projects, noting developers' efforts to make sense of AI/ML environments (e.g., algorithms/methods and libraries), of AI/ML model ecosystems (e.g., pre-trained models and "upstream"models), and of business-AI relations (e.g., how the AI/ML service relates to the domain context and business problem at hand). This paper builds on recent scholarship drawing attention to the integral role of sensemaking in everyday SE practices by empirically investigating how and in what ways AI/ML projects present software teams with emergent sensemaking requirements and opportunities
Challenges in Representation Learning: A report on three machine learning contests
The ICML 2013 Workshop on Challenges in Representation Learning focused on
three challenges: the black box learning challenge, the facial expression
recognition challenge, and the multimodal learning challenge. We describe the
datasets created for these challenges and summarize the results of the
competitions. We provide suggestions for organizers of future challenges and
some comments on what kind of knowledge can be gained from machine learning
competitions.Comment: 8 pages, 2 figure
Characteristics of Feedback that Influence Student Confidence and Performance during Mathematical Modeling
This study focuses on characteristics of written feedback that influence students’ performance and confidence in addressing the mathematical complexity embedded in a Model-Eliciting Activity (MEA). MEAs are authentic mathematical modeling problems that facilitate students’ iterative development of solutions in a realistic context. We analyzed 132 first-year engineering students’ confidence levels and mathematical model scores on aMEA(pre and post feedback), along with teaching assistant feedback given to the students. The findings show several examples of affective and cognitive feedback that students reported that they used to revise their models. Students’ performance and confidence in developing mathematical models can be increased when they are in an environment where they iteratively develop models based on effective feedback
