    You Ask, I Answer: Most Exciting 2020 Marketing Trend?

    Laura asks, “What is the industry trend you’re most excited about in 2020?”

    The continued growth and practicality of artificial intelligence, of course! Three specific areas:
    – Continued growth in natural language processing
    – Exciting new trends in audio, especially music composition
    – More pre-trained models for everything

    The three areas I’m worried about:
    – Interpretability and explainability
    – Bias
    – Misuse/malicious use

    In today’s episode, Laura asks, What is the industry trend you’re most excited about in 2020? Well, the continued growth and the practicality of what’s happening in artificial intelligence and machine learning and in marketing data science force.

    There’s three specific trends that I think are so exciting and have been exciting for quite some time.

    Number one, continued growth in natural language processing.

    2018 was sort of a watershed year for a lot of natural language processing in 2019 brought some of the largest models available that we can use to process text, to understand it better to be able to in some cases, generated and that is stuff that I expect to see continue in 2020 not just at the cutting edge of research but at the ability for the average machine learning practitioner to access it and deploy it.

    So by that i mean it’s it’s relatively friendly, relatively easy to use it is not the incredibly challenging you know, super high tech stuff although that that stuff is exciting too.

    But for the average well versed practitioner in data science and machine learning to be able to pick up something in NLP and use it.

    Number two, there are some really amazing things happening in the world of audio with wavenet a few years back and now Mel net bunch of other technologies that are making it easier for machines to understand audio, particularly the spoken word and Then able to replicate it and synthesize it.

    And this is some amazing stuff again, there’s if you look at the milnet demo, you can listen to a machine synthetically generate voices, synthetic degenerate music.

    I think music composition is has come a long way and continues to accelerate.

    It’s not going to replace humans anytime soon.

    But it’s getting there.

    And it I would say it’s at the point now where AI can generate, like elevator music, right? stuff if you put it on in the elevator like no one would be offended.

    But certainly it’s not going to win any Grammys.

    But as with all things in, in machine learning, the technology improves, the models get better.

    And whereas two years ago, it was it sounded like something like your three year old would You’re hammering pots and pans with spoons.

    Now it sounds like elevated music.

    So expect in time for it to become a credible alternative for people who want access to music composition and don’t have the skills themselves can’t play an instrument but can direct or conducting an orchestra of machines.

    Number three, and this is a bit more esoteric, but there will be more and better pre trained models in 2020.

    We saw within the natural language processing field open AI is GPT to released its mega model, the 1.5 billion hyper parameter model in 2019.

    And that was a really big deal for that company because that was the model they were so concerned about falling into the wrong hands.

    And they said they didn’t see any evidence of its its use and partly because it’s such a beast try and get to us.

    But one of the major Overall meta trends and AI in the last couple of years has been, instead of generate your own models, pick up a pre trained model and then fine tune and expect to see more of that happening in music, image recognition, video, natural language processing, good old fashioned statistical computing all these things.

    We’re seeing more and better models for better just you pick it up and you work with it.

    Now, there are some challenges with that in the chat.

    One of the big challenges, of course, is that you are relying on a pre trained model and you you don’t know for sure how that model was trained.

    You after take on faith to some degree, the model was trained well, so that’s going to be a consideration.

    Which brings me to three trends I’m concerned about number one is interpreter ability and explain ability, the ability for machine learning and AI practitioners to explain what is the models are doing, which is really important and something that The industry is struggling with and will struggle with for some time.

    Partly because interpretability is so much more expensive than explain ability, but is the gold standard for being able to say, watch and see what the machine is doing any step of the process.

    Number two, the things I’m worried about is, is bias.

    And this goes hand in hand with interpretability.

    If we don’t know what the machine is doing, we don’t know if it’s doing something wrong.

    There have been many, many, many examples of machines making decisions that on the surface seem okay.

    But when you get inside the model, or when you see the post hoc results, you’re like, That’s not right.

    So bias is a major concern.

    And it’s one that the industry is making strides on.

    But the industry as a whole is not going fast enough.

    Not just fast enough to allay some of the fears that people have.

    And, and set aside the misconception that’s important.

    And number three, and by far the one I’m most concerned about in 2020, because it is an election year is the misuse or malicious use of artificial intelligence technology for things like deepfakes is the most popular cited example not the one that I think is probably the most prevalent.

    I honestly think that bots with minimal natural language processing capabilities are much bigger problem because there’s so much easier to scale deepfakes don’t scale well.

    Right.

    deepfakes require a lot of computational power.

    And yes, you can rent it for pennies on the dollar from like a Google Cloud or something.

    But to do so, then also makes you not anonymous, right? Because once you sign into something like when a big text clouds every single thing you do is tracked and can be identified but long for So in a lot of cases, if you’re doing something malicious, you need to be doing it in the dark away from the prying eyes of every major tech company ever.

    So things like, you know, mass armies of Twitter bots and Facebook bots and things are a much more practical application.

    And very easy, very cheap.

    And they have the ability thanks to the hyper partisan world that we live in, to really manipulate people.

    And it’s not the machines fault that humans are gullible and that humans like to have confirmation bias out the wazoo.

    But it’s the machines enable hostile actors to do more faster and better.

    And, at least in the context of the United States of America, our defenses have been largely dismantled the last couple years with the abolition of the cyber security Council and things like that.

    So we are in a case where AI can be maliciously used.

    And that’s very concerning to me as a practitioner because, again, we want people to trust this technology.

    If the technology is being used for malicious means really hard to build trust around it.

    So that’s sort of the opposite of is exciting trend.

    That’s the the most worrying trend but that’s what we have to look forward to in 2020.

  • You Ask, I Answer: Planning Out 2020 Marketing Strategy?

    You Ask, I Answer: Planning Out 2020 Marketing Strategy?

    Lauren asks, “I’m planning out 2020 and I’m curious….what tools do you use? Is there a template, worksheet, planner, or process that you swear by?”

    For marketing, I take my Google Analytics traffic from the last couple of years and run a predictive analytics algorithm to forecast next year’s traffic. Then I look at the traffic numbers, plus my existing conversion rates, to determine whether I’ll be ahead or behind goals for the year ahead, by channel (email, social, etc.) and make plans to fix the weak spots and double down on the good spots. Watch the video for a walkthrough.

    What follows is an AI-generated transcript. The transcript may contain errors and is not a substitute for watching the video.

    Christopher Penn 0:07 In today’s episode Lauren asks, I’m planning out 2020.

    I’m curious, what tools do you use? Is there a template, a worksheet planner or process that you swear by? for marketing? Yes.

    What I swear by is using predictive analytics to forecast forward what’s likely to happen so that I can make decisions whether I like what I’m looking at or not.

    This is based on Google Analytics data because Google Analytics is probably one of our most reliable sources of data for marketing is it has its issues as all systems do.

    But if you can work around those issues, and extract the data out in and put it into more advanced statistical software for analysis, it’s incredibly valuable.

    What you can do with it is just astonishing.

    So let’s actually let’s take a look at an example here first, before We do anything else actually want to bring up? One of the more important things to do is do traffic driver analysis to figure out what is it that zoom to fit here? What matters.

    Because if you don’t know what matters, what’s working in your analytics, then you can’t make any decisions from it.

    So looking at your goals and your goal values in Google Analytics, assuming you’ve got good goals set up, what is making those goals happen.

    Now, again, Google Analytics stores all this data for you.

    It’s just got to get it out and process it.

    So in this case, this is a customer journey mapping from my website.

    And the size of the numbers indicates the importance of any given channel.

    So here, medium drove 7% of the conversions to my website.

    That’s interesting.

    I didn’t actually know that.

    So that’s something to keep in mind.

    Google organic search from Google itself.

    65% of my conversions in the last two months, that’s a huge number.

    That’s actually a little concerning.

    Because if I am not diversifying my traffic sources, I am vulnerable to a massive algorithm changes that could substantially diminish my ability to attract new audiences.

    So that’s a little concerning.

    It’s good, I guess, but not great.

    An email, about 6% of my conversions, give or take YouTube actually looking good, you know, small but but real growth, their traffic from Trust Insights, which I’m happy to see.

    There’s a Moodle instance here, which is interesting.

    Moodle is a online course management software.

    So someone has a link to my website in one of their courses.

    And that’s pretty cool.

    We also see the usual suspects here, Facebook, LinkedIn, and so on and so forth.

    Those channels are not referring nearly as much traffic to me.

    So I have a pretty good sense of you know, referral traffic particularly from medium organic search and email are sort of the three channels I need to pay attention to.

    So let’s go over to a traffic forecast.

    So this is a traffic forecast.

    You can see the channel groupings here.

    The data is extracted using the our programming language, and then visualized in the software choice I use Tableau for this because I like tableau.

    So year to date, I’m getting about 20, almost 30,000 visitors a month from organic search, I’m getting about 2000 visitors a mother referral traffic 1300 social 1200 an email and granted this is this number is not file for this quarter because the court is not over yet.

    Looking forward.

    The predictive software that I’m using is indicating that I’m actually looking at a pretty substantial decline in organic search traffic.

    Let’s switches over to yearly view Looking at a deficit of about 20,000 visitors next year from organic certified referral traffic scoring, which is good by email and social traffic or about flat, but that organic search gap is really concerning.

    And it’s doubly concerning because a there’s a traffic loss here.

    But now, if we refer back to that customer journey mapping, right, this one here where we saw organic search being 66% of my traffic, that’s an uncomfortable place to be.

    So the question is now from a planning perspective going into 2020 do I diversify my traffic to try and make up for that gap? Do I double down on my search efforts and try and fix what’s wrong with my search strategy? Do I look for, for example, Bing is in my my customer journey about 2%? Do I do some optimization for being to try and diversify even my organic search sources? These are now questions that will form the basis of my 2020 planning.

    Now, knowing my website, knowing how I run it This is my personal site is not the company’s website is not something that is a strong commercial interest.

    I’m going to try to improve my email, I make sure that it continues to be valuable and and boost the numbers of visitors from email to my website.

    I’m going to continue to grow YouTube, I’m going to do a lot more on medium.

    Clearly I have to, and because it’s such a large portion and up because I don’t put pay, I don’t pay money to promote my personal website.

    I have to improve my organic search.

    There’s, if this was a company like Trust Insights, and I had ad budget, where I was willing to put in AD budget, I should say click, I could spend money on my website, but I don’t.

    Then I would want to try and bolster some of my strong points in organic search with some paid search.

    That would be a logical strategic thing to do.

    If this was a business in this case, it’s not because again, it’s a personal website.

    So I’m going to just strengthen what I can and look to diversify traffic sources away from organic search being so heavy for my site.

    So that’s the process, and the plan and the template that I used to do strategic planning.

    Because without this, you just kind of guessing like, oh, let’s do more of this and seem to work really well this this past year.

    Well know if you use well established statistical algorithms for forecasting time series forecasting, you can get a sense of what’s likely to happen, and then decide how important is a loss of traffic in this area? How important is the loss of traffic and this year? How important is the gain of traffic in this area? And then what do you choose to do from that? So that’s the process I personally would use and recommend.

    It does require, in this case, customs coast custom code to build the software that makes these predictions.

    But once you have it once you have the ability to do That forecasting, you can make data driven, well informed decisions.

    And in this case, if this was, if this was a company, I would know what’s likely to happen in the year to come, I would know where I’m going to be week, and then get ahead of that, right.

    So in sort of that this time next year, if I this was a company, it’s not, but if this is a company, I wouldn’t be sitting in my CEO, oops, sorry, we missed our targets by 20%.

    I would know in advance that we are likely to miss our targets and therefore can compensate for that by planning ahead with this type of software.

    So that’s the process.

    If you’d like help doing this again, something that my company does do.

  • You Ask, I Answer: Stopping Misuse of AI?

    You Ask, I Answer: Stopping Misuse of AI?

    Jesse asks, “How can we stop bad actors from using AI for malicious means, from deepfakes to surveillance to hijacking political systems?”

    The short answer is you can’t. AI isn’t a mystical, monolithic technology in a black box. AI is a collection of mathematical techniques, techniques in statistics and probability. Can you stop bad actors from using math, using spreadsheets? Of course not. Most AI is open-source technology, as it should be, so that the maximum number of people can benefit from it and work on it – and critically, oversee it. The more people using it, publishing their code, and inspecting others’ code, the better.

    What should be done about bad actors? The same thing that’s always been done: penalize them for the outcomes of their acts. Whether you use AI to commit a crime or just a handgun, you’ve still committed a crime and must be held accountable for it. A deepfake is still slanderous, and while the laws around them need to be fine-tuned, fundamentally we already agree, based on existing law, that fraudulent misrepresentation is a criminal act. A hostile government using AI to cause harm to citizens still has the same outcome as a hostile government using any other means – and we have plans and capabilities in place to deal with acts of war.

    In the business sphere, this line of thinking is important. AI isn’t magic – it’s math. The faster we can get over thinking it’s some unknowable magic, the faster we can take advantage of AI for business purposes. When you realize that natural language generation is just predicting what the next word in a sentence will be based on what the next word has been in the past in similar sentences, natural language generation suddenly becomes both obvious and exciting for what you could do with it.

    In today’s episode, Jesse asks, How can we stop bad actors from using AI for malicious means from deepfakes to surveillance to hijacking political systems? Well, the short answer is you can’t.

    AI is not some mystical monolithic technology in a black box, right? It’s just a collection of mathematical techniques.

    It’s desistance.

    And probability, what’s the probability This is a picture of a cat or a dog? What’s the probability that the word I just said was cat or dog? Ai is just math.

    Now it is math that is assembled in programming code.

    And that math can get very sophisticated higher orders of calculus and linear algebra, and many other subsets of statistics and probabilities.

    But at the end of the day, it really is still just mathematics.

    Can you stop bad actors from using math? Can you stop them from using spreadsheets? Can you stop bad actors from using Adobe Photoshop? No, of course not.

    Ai also is mostly open source code open source technology as it should be.

    You want people using open source technology as much as possible.

    For two reasons.

    One, you want the maximum number of people to benefit from it and work on it work with it.

    You know, people shouldn’t have to pony up a million dollars just to work on a technology if a high school kid downloads our studio or rodeo, the Python environment, they should be able to for free code with it and create new things and use existing technology to accelerate their projects.

    That’s how innovation happens by allowing people to use advancements in science technology.

    So we want that open source technology will some bad people Download it and use it.

    Yes, that’s a given some bad people will download and use spreadsheets right.

    But the societal benefit far outweighs the societal negatives.

    The second reason you want to be open source and this is really, really important and was sort of the topic of heated topic from the 1990s.

    till about the 20, early part of this decade is that closed source code is very difficult to inspect is very difficult to know if there are backdoors or bugs that have not been disclosed or holes in the system that people can take advantage of.

    And that’s what bad actors will definitely do when your technology is open source.

    Everybody can look at the code.

    Everybody can oversee it.

    The more people who are using open source AI, and publishing their code and publishing their libraries, the better because everyone else can look at it.

    You know, who’s who has the expertise in the field.

    You saw him say that the Isn’t look right, or there’s no fairness metric in there.

    You didn’t think about that? Or what are you doing that for and be able to flag and detected.

    There is tremendous progress happening in AI for using it to detect malicious use of AI, deep fakes, fake natural language generation, faked audio, fake video, you name it.

    A number of organizations doing very good work on detecting misuse or malicious use of artificial intelligence.

    So we want that and that and that is enabled by having the technology be open source.

    So what do we do about the bad actors? The same thing we’ve always done with bad actors, right? You penalize them for the outcomes of their acts, whether use AI to commit a crime or a handgun, you still committed a crime right? And you still have to be held accountable for it.

    That’s just the way things work or the way things should work ideally, right? A deepfake where you map somebody’s face on to a different person’s body.

    And have them do things that they didn’t do and say things they didn’t say, That’s still slanderous.

    Right? That is still a fundamentally a fraudulent misrepresentation of that person.

    Right? We do have some work to do about refining the laws around these technologies, but fundamentally, we already agree based on existing law, that fraudulent misrepresentation is a criminal act.

    Right.

    If a hostile government’s using AI to cause harm to citizens, that still has the same outcome as a hostile government causing harm using any other means, right? If a hostile government convinces a whole bunch of people not to use vaccines, that’s fundamentally the same as a hostile government deploying a biological weapon.

    The outcome, dead citizens from from biological weapons or biological means is the same.

    And we already have plans and capabilities in place to deal with an act of war that involves biological weapons.

    In fact, it has been long standing policy for the United States government to treat nuclear, biological and chemical weapons is equivalent.

    And so you’re used one the other ones are on the table for us.

    Now in the business sphere, this line of thinking is really important for businesses for marketing.

    AI is not magic.

    It is not magic, it is math.

    And the faster we can get over thinking that AI is some unknowable magic, the faster we can take advantage of it for business purposes, when you realize that neural networks are just a way of doing large scale computation crunching really big spreadsheets really quickly.

    It it does take the magical way.

    It certainly takes the marketing angle away like misuse of spreadsheets is like you would never see that in that right.

    Yay, everything uses spreadsheets.

    The same is true of AI.

    When you realize that natural language generation, it’s just predicting the next word in a sentence based on what the previous word is and in the past based on the data you gave the AI to learn From Well, the next word is typically been in sentences similar to that, right? natural language at that point it loses the magic.

    It’s suddenly both obvious like, Oh, yeah, I’m just this is just a probability by say, wildlife.

    What is the likely the next word, there’s a bunch of options.

    But based on that technique, that sentence, you can make some pretty good predictions.

    Probably not wildlife sausage, right? It’s probably like Wildlife, Sanctuary Wildlife Preserve Wildlife Federation, but not wildlife rutabaga doesn’t make sense.

    At that point, natural language generation becomes obvious and exciting, not because the technology is cool, but because of what we can do with it.

    Clay Shirky has a great saying from there, again for the early part of the decade.

    When a tech when a technology becomes technologically uninteresting, suddenly it becomes decidedly interesting because now people will understand it and know it and can start using it.

    And that’s the hump that a lot of people need.

    Get over for AI.

    Once you understand it’s not magic, it’s just math.

    And we’ve been doing math for a while, suddenly you start to say, Okay, now I understand what I can use this thing for, and how to use it to stop bad actors.

    Use it to identify bad actors and use it to advance the cause of humanity.

    So really good question, complex question.

    This is this answer could go on for very long time.

    But that’s the short answer.

  • You Ask, I Answer: Bots and the Future of Customer Experience?

    You Ask, I Answer: Bots and the Future of Customer Experience?

    Bernie asks, “Do you see chatbots being effective in building and growing the relationships between the brand and audience in 2020?”

    Bots are a tactic, a tool. The question is, how effective are they at enhancing the overall customer experience? Right now, they’re a form of automation and as such are best suited for repetitive, predictable tasks. What in your customer journey is incredibly repetitive on the part of the customer?

    • Getting basic information
    • Asking for help
    • Finding resources on your website
    • Greeting and proactively introducing known resources

    What are bots NOT good at?

    • Handling anomalies and exceptions
    • Rich natural language queries and conversations
    • Dealing with unhappy customers

    The perception is that bots are simply a money-saving, job-cutting step for many companies to take to avoid spending money on customer experience. However you choose to deploy them or any other tactic, know that you want to avoid playing into this perception at all costs if you measure by things like NPS score.

    That said, over the next year, expect natural language processing to continue improving, pretrained AI models to continue growing in complexity, and chatbot software to continually be easier for brands to deploy.

    In today’s episode Bernie asks, do you see Chatbots being effective and building and growing the relationships between the brand and audience in 2020? So Chatbots are a tool right there a tactic? The question really is, the question should be, how effective is a chat bot at enhancing the overall customer experience? Remember that a chat bot is really nothing more than piece of software, right that piece of software that interacts with customers at a certain point in the customer experience.

    Most of the time, they are used in two places they’re used in upper funnel introductions and end of journey customer support customer relationship management, their form of automation and as such, because they are an automation they are best suited for high repetitive, highly predictable tasks.

    So the real question is, what does your customer experience look like? What does your customer journey look like? What steps in that customer journey are highly repetitive on the part of the customer not on our part.

    Again, with all customer experience technologies, we want to make sure that we are looking at things from the perspective of the customer and improving things from their perspective, not from ours.

    The perception for good or ill is that Chatbots are a money saving job cutting technology that companies used to avoid spending money on customer service and avoid spending money on customer experience and reduce headcount.

    There is some truth to that, right? however you choose to deploy Chatbots or any customer experience technology.

    You want to avoid playing into that perception, right? You want to use the tools for what they’re best at.

    Not use them to cut costs, you want to use them to enhance the customer experience not take away from it.

    So what are What are Chatbots? Good for? Right? What’s repetitive getting basic information? Right? What are your hours? That’s that’s a question that is well suited for a bot.

    Basic asking for help.

    So a bot that can say it like, if you’re here for help, how can we help? Do you want someone to call you to ask someone to email you do want to do a live chat, whatever the case is, you can use the box to reach out and ask people how they want to be helped.

    Probably not tried to, you know, build a massive botnet to help on behalf of the customer.

    Unless you know that there is just there’s one thing that everybody needs help with.

    You probably should fix that thing first.

    Third is finding Resources bots are really good at helping somebody navigate especially if you got a large website, you have a large support catalog if you have a like, say you’re a consumer products company, and there’s, you know, 500 frequently asked questions and manual pages and stuff on your website, a bot is really good at helping somebody skip the navigation, as long as the natural language processing was good and say like, I need help with the manual for these new headphones, you know, the Model X 722 had headphones, and the bot should if it’s well programmed to be able to find that content for the customer, and get it to them and forth of courses that bots are really good at greeting and proactively introducing known resources.

    So as part of that introductory phase when the customer first comes to the website, the bot to be able to say Hey, welcome.

    Here’s some things that people commonly look for.

    What can I help you with that way? realize this bot is here to help the customer experience to help them get to their answers faster.

    That’s really what they’re good at is get people to an answer faster.

    What are they bad at? Well, bots are really bad at handling anomalies and exceptions, right? When somebody writes in says, Hey, I got the new Xm 22 headphones and they caught on fire.

    That is an exception.

    I hope it’s an exception.

    That’s something that again should not be something that the software should we try and handle that’s something that ideally if there if a bot is well constructed to has anomaly, an exception detection and set and immediately routes to a human to help out bots today, even with really good models are still not great at natural language queries and conversations, right? There’s still a tremendous amount of training that has to happen now it’s getting much, much better two years ago, I would have said they were terrible natural language processing period, but they are Much, much better than it used to be, they’re still not as good as a person.

    And most of all, bots are really bad handling unhappy customers, right? If someone is angry or upset or frustrated, you want to get them to a human as quickly as possible.

    You do not want to try to get them to avoid talking to a human.

    Because that’s not why that person is there.

    One of the things that companies need to think about is that sometimes in some cases depending on how frustrating your product is, your human support almost has to have some like basic therapist training to help to help a person get out of an unhappy emotional state first before solving their problem.

    That is not something about can do, period.

    Now looking forward in 2020, what do we expect to happen? The last two years have been absolutely exceptional in what has happened to Natural Language Processing and our ability for machines to understand language.

    You’ve heard big news this year about Google’s BERT models, and open a eyes GPT to technology and many, many, many other pre trained models.

    Those are continuing to grow and complexity.

    Those are continuing to process data and language really well.

    And I expect that to be the case in 2020 as well.

    Making use of those pre trained models is getting better.

    The ability for people to simply download a massive pre trained model, tune it up a little bit for their use case and then deploy it has gotten substantially easier in the last year or so.

    And again, I expect that to continue and that that the impact of that is that you will be able to hit the ground running with a chat bot or any AI task that uses language much faster.

    Download the model, spend maybe a couple of days tuning it and immediately roll it out in production.

    Chatbots software continues to improve as well, it continues to get easier for people to deploy two years ago, you were rolling up your sleeves and coding.

    Right? That was just how you got a chat bot running.

    And one of the reasons why initial people who tried it out were like, Man, this is not for us because it’s a lot of work to support.

    Many services are getting much easier to use, drag and drop, or very, very simple code.

    I was sitting down with one of my kids over this past weekend, and we built a first our first bought in discord and it was very straightforward and you know, some basic Python to get it connected and stuff, super, super easy.

    Download template and just modify it.

    So bots are getting much easier for brands to deploy as well.

    So those are what we have to look forward to for the future of customer experience the future Chatbots in 2020, there are any number of things that could change that we can Can’t see right now.

    We may have a revolution in compute power.

    For example, if that happens, it could be a massive game changer.

    So some things to look forward to no matter what.

  • You Ask, I Answer: Data Quality and AI?

    You Ask, I Answer: Data Quality and AI?

    Sampurnakumar asks, “What level of data quality do you need for AI to be successful? Does it require the best data and best data usage to solve problems?”

    One of the problems with AI, conceptually, is that it’s seen as this mysterious entity that we don’t fully understand. Any qualified AI practitioner should immediately debunk this concept when possible, because AI as it is currently used in the commercial space is anything but mysterious. Substitute the word spreadsheet for AI and see how the question changes, because at its heart, AI is just math.

    Machine-Generated Transcript

    What follows is an AI-generated transcript. The transcript may contain errors and is not a substitute for watching the video.

    In today’s episode Sampurnakumar I think I got that right asks, what level of data quality Do you need for AI to be successful doesn’t require the best data and the best data usage to solve problems.

    So one of the problems with AI today, conceptually, is that it is seen as this mysterious entity that we don’t fully understand that it’s, you know, no one could understand what’s going on in the machine, which is patently untrue.

    Any qualified AI practitioner should immediately debunk this, this concept of we don’t know what’s going on inside the AI.

    Because AI is, at least as it is being used in commercial business applications.

    I’m sure there are some things in academia which people are still researching, hence, its research but for commercial use for things that we’re doing In business, if you don’t know what’s going on inside the box, you did it wrong.

    Right? Ai, particularly traditional machine learning, there’s no excuse for not knowing what the machine is doing.

    And so when we take the phrase AI away, one of the tricks that I like to do is to substitute the word spreadsheet, because at its core AI is just math, right? It’s nothing more than doing math, stats and probability.

    re ask that question, what level of data quality you need for spreadsheet to be successful? Right, that’s, that’s a lot easier to understand.

    Right? You need a minimum data quality, otherwise your spreadsheets will be wrong, right? And if your spreadsheets are wrong, you’ve got to make bad decisions.

    So the question is less about the type of data quality you need for AI to work and more about the type of data quality you need to get the outcome you’re looking for AI does not solve new problems, right AI solves existing business and math and marketing problems that we don’t have the scale to handle.

    Or we don’t have the time to handle but we’ve previously tried to handle them, right? If you do image classification, image classification is something we do all day, right? You see a crowded store and you recognize a person’s face that you know, that’s image recognition, you do that already.

    So you’re not doing anything brand new, you’re just doing AI is doing that faster and a greater scale.

    When you’re trying to solve a complex mathematical question.

    You could do 300 variable multiple regression analysis by hand, you would not do it quickly.

    And it wouldn’t be a lot of fun, but it can be done.

    It is something that a human being could do.

    It is just not efficient for a human being to do so.

    So Think about with AI.

    And the data quality you need of the data usage.

    How would a human tackle is what level of data quality would a human being need in order to make this work? If you had a spreadsheet open? How would you solve that problem with a spreadsheet? And what data quality would you need? A lot of the time data quality comes down to risk assessment.

    What level of error? Are you comfortable with? What level of error is acceptable? If you’re doing marketing, right, and you’re doing campaign targeting, and and no plus or minus 5%.

    Probably not going to break the bank unless you deploy a multi billion dollar marketing campaign if you drop on 1000 bucks on a Facebook ad, right? What level of error Are you comfortable with probably you’re pretty comfortable, the fairly wide margin of error Right.

    On the other hand, if you are doing medical devices, and the device that you are programming and building a model for is going to be implanted in thousands of human beings, your margin of error is really small, right? or it should be if you’re an ethical practitioner, because you want to have as little error as possible and therefore, risk as few lives as possible, right? There’s a much higher standard for error.

    There’s a much lower tolerance for error in cases like that as it should be.

    So data quality, at its core is really about risk mitigation.

    What level of risk Are you comfortable with? What level of risk are is your organization comfortable with? How wrong Are you allowed to be? Because remember, when you take data that you have, and you feed it to AI, all it’s doing is processing the same data.

    It’s a larger scale, so the margin of error may be the same.

    It might apply some Minus 3%.

    It’s just that instead of a spreadsheet with 1000 rows, you may be looking at data set with a billion rows and 5% of a billion is a much larger absolute number than 5% of 1000.

    But if you’re comfortable with that level of error, great, now one of the things that AI is capable of doing, because again, it’s all just math is identifying very quickly whether something has greater error than we thought, right? So you have this piece of software developed or the status that you’re working with, and it shows, you know, an MA e or an MSE or an RMSE.

    Or any of these the error metrics, area under curve and and the numbers are wildly off.

    You’re like, Huh, that doesn’t look right.

    When you went into situations like that, that is an opportunity for you to use these tools and say, I think there’s more wrong with this data than we thought.

    The reason we don’t do that more is because most practitioners who work with data at least in marketing, copy that in marketing Do not have a formal background of any kind and exploratory data analysis, the ability to look at a data set and go, yeah, there’s some things wrong here.

    Right? That’s something that’s a skill that people lack.

    And that’s certainly a skill that I would like to see more marketers adopt and embrace is the ability to do exploratory data analysis in order to find what level of error is wrong in the data to begin with? And if you don’t do that, you can never know that.

    And then yeah, you do have, at that point, the worst case scenario, you have unknown risk, you don’t know what the risks are.

    And that’s very dangerous, because it could be 2%.

    It could be 200%.

    And you could have you could be in for a really bad time as as the South Park character say, so that’s the answer to that question, substitute the word spreadsheet and then ask yourself what level of risk Are you comfortable with in your data in order to make the determination whether you’ve got good enough data to use with artificial intelligence and machine learning Thanks for the question please leave your follow up questions below.

  • You Ask, I Answer: Multi-Objective Optimization for IBM Watson Studio AutoAI?

    You Ask, I Answer: Multi-Objective Optimization for IBM Watson Studio AutoAI?

    Arjuna asks, “Could you please suggest an approach to forecast multiple targets (e.g., is there a way to select multiple columns in AutoAI). In our use case, we need to develop time series forecasts for multiple products. If we correctly understood AutoAI, it will allow us to select one column at a time to generate a forecast… Is there an alternative to select multiple columns (representing multiple targets)? Thank you!”

    IBM Watson Studio AutoAI doesn’t support multi-objective optimization. That’s something you’ll have to do manually with a data scientist and the built-in features for notebooks and coding like R and Python. The reason why is that multi-objective optimization is crazy costly in terms of compute. Combining it with AutoAI would blow up the servers. There’s a lot of research being done right now in this field, and this is a very cutting edge topic. Watch the video for some thoughts on workarounds.

    Machine-Generated Transcript

    What follows is an AI-generated transcript. The transcript may contain errors and is not a substitute for watching the video.

    In today’s episode, Arjun asks, could you please suggest an approach to forecasting multiple targets? Is there a way to select multiple columns and IBM Watson Studio Auto AI and our use case, we need to develop time series forecasts for multiple products.

    If we correctly understood Auto AI will allow us to select one column at a time to generate such a forecast.

    Is there an alternative to select multiple columns who are presenting multiple targets? Thank you.

    Okay, so there’s a lot to unpack here.

    One, auto AI does not do time series forecasting Auto AI does either regression or classification.

    So it doesn’t support that at all.

    There are methods for doing time series forecasting.

    In Watson Studio, you’d want to use the SPSS modeler for some of that.

    Watson Studio Auto AI out of the box does not support multi objective optimization.

    In fact, none of the auto AI Auto ML family of technologies right now support multi objective optimization.

    The reason for that is that it auto AI itself is fairly costly because the the the analogy I like to use is, if you’re baking cookies, these tools are essentially varying every possible every oven temperature, every possible ingredient to see what the best overall cookie is.

    That is computationally very costly.

    Multi objective optimization is also very costly.

    And it adds crazy, immense amounts of dimensionality.

    The current technical name for is Pareto multi objective optimization.

    And if you think about two people playing tug of war, right? They’re playing tug of war.

    And the little ribbon in the middle of the rope is the objective right? And they’re pulling back and forth.

    That’s a good example of like, single objective optimization.

    You wouldn’t know somebody Got a win.

    Now imagine tug of war with three people, three people holding on the ropes and there’s still you know, there’s things in the middle and each one has a thing.

    And now that four or five or 10 people playing tug of war all holding different ropes, you can see how very very complex this gets.

    Multi objective optimization gives you many, many different scenarios to to, to plan for.

    And then Auto AI has many scenarios of each scenario.

    So you can see how it just stacks up and becomes computationally unfeasible.

    The way we handle multi objective optimization, most of the time, is doing what’s called a constraint based multi objective optimization where you say there’s guardrails.

    So in the marketing world we have in order we’re doing SEO, we have keywords right and we have the volume of searches for keyword, we have the number of likely clicks on that.

    Word, we have the cost per click, if it’s paid, we have the difficulty, we have to rank for a certain keyword.

    Trying to do a four way or five way algorithm to create the best balance of all the possible outcomes is really difficult because you have to compute every possible edge case.

    You know, sometimes you want difficulty 100, you’ll never rank for this keyword a lot.

    That doesn’t, that’s not very sensible, right? Sometimes you want a zero dollar cost? Well, again, not necessarily all that realistic.

    So what, as data scientists will do is apply constraints first into the data set before we do Auto AI on it will say, you know what, I’m not willing to pay more than seven bucks a click right.

    So that immediately knocks off a certain part of the table.

    I’m not interested in keywords that are, you know, above difficulty score 50 because I know my contents not that good.

    So I’m not going to be able to really rank for stuff about that.

    So let’s chop off that part of the table.

    I’m not really keywords that have no, no search volume will drop off that part of the table.

    And you can see we’re starting to apply constraints to our data set first.

    So that when we stick it into something like Auto AI, we already have a much more slimmed down data set where a single objective now make sense, right? will manually look at the table.

    So you know, I want to optimize for clicks.

    clicks is what I care about traffic to my website.

    But I’m going to apply constraints manually on those other columns.

    I don’t want to below a certain volume or above a certain cost or too tough to rank for.

    And then that goes into Auto AI and auto AI actually makes Auto AI much more efficient, because it has much less data to crawl through.

    So you would apply those constraints in advance.

    You can do this with multi objective optimization as well.

    You’d apply your constraints first.

    And then in Watson Studio, there’s the facility to use our or Python notebooks right within the interface and so you can write your own code to apply Using the odd the multi objective optimization library of your choice to do it there.

    So, you could do that that would not get you the auto AI capability, but it will let you do multi objective optimization, you can also use the decision optimization or the see Plex facilities also within Watson Studio to do some of that if you’re not comfortable coding, again, it doesn’t get you the auto AI capability, but it does get you the decision making capability.

    Finally, on the topic of time series forecasting, time series forecasting is tricky in the sense that you need to do the constraints first then you need to do the auto AI first, next, probably regression, either regression or or classification most of regression to figure out what you want to forecast what is worth forecasting.

    And then you do the time she was forecasting on that.

    So, that’s a three step process.

    There’s you go from constraint to regression to forecast.

    And that’s the process for that is not automated either.

    This actually this whole question, this discussion is really good because it highlights the immense difficulty.

    The data science and AI community is having with a lot of these automated AI solutions, they are good at very narrow tasks, they’re good at one thing, but the number of techniques that you can combine that your human data scientist will know to combine and in what order is very difficult to put together in a machine just have a push the button and and let the machine do its thing.

    It will come in time, but it’s going to be a while.

    It’s not going to be in the next quarters release.

    Let’s let’s put it that way.

    So to answer your question, do your constraints do Auto AI to determine which which features selectors are the most relevant to your outcome? And then due time series forecasting and again, you can do that.

    In the SPSS modeler in Watson Studio, or probably you’ll use a fancier library, like any number of the Python or our libraries to really kick it up a notch after that.

    The good news is within Watson Studio all that even though those are separate pieces, pieces of that can then be pushed to Watson machine learning for production use cases.

    But it is, it’s this is not an easy project, but it is an interesting one, because you’re really talking about the heart of making great decisions using machine learning.

    So, good question.

    You’ve got follow up questions, please leave them in the comments below.

    You Ask, I Answer: AI-Enabled Parenting Tools?

    Donna asks, “Super curious to hear your thoughts on tools like AI-enabled baby monitors and other AI-enabled parenting tools. What do you think?”

    The challenge of tools like AI-powered anything are twofold: what happens to the production data? And how was the model trained that the tool is built on? Most products and services don’t reveal the training dataset, and without that information, you have no idea how biased the model is – which makes relying on such a tool inherently dangerous. Watch the video for a full explanation.

    Machine-Generated Transcript

    What follows is an AI-generated transcript. The transcript may contain errors and is not a substitute for watching the video.

    In today’s episode Donna asks what I think of this AI powered baby monitor? My thoughts on it? Well, there are two things on the topic of any kind of AI based child care solution or any AI based solution period, which is the production data and the training data.

    So production data is pretty straightforward in terms of what things I would be concerned about.

    Number one, of course, is privacy.

    What happens to your data? Particularly if it’s if you’re your child, when it is uploaded to a service? Is it stored securely? Is it How is it processed? How does the processing occur, what information is being gathered? How is it encrypted etc.

    And those are all things that Any reputable solution providers should be able to give you answers to about how they treat their data.

    That’s that’s easy stuff.

    The more difficult thing and particularly in this use cases, this is a product that is claiming to do image recognition from live video feed and identify when your baby has turned over to to what is considered to be an unsafe sleeping position.

    Here’s my challenge with this type of analysis.

    I feel like it can low parents into a false sense of security and is not a substitute for actual parenting.

    So that’s one side second side is the training do any AI solution has to have a training data set that is that info is important by Footage samples that tell it like this is what to recognize this solution is a supervised learning solution, right? You’re looking for a specific use case, a human being in a certain position, and you want to recognize it and then use that to trigger the basis of some kind of alert.

    So how does it do that? What was the basis for comparison? What is the model trained on? And was the model trained on a robust enough data set? So the classic textbook error in this kind of case is the the folks who wrote a simulation to wrote a model to identify wolves to differentiate wolves and dogs.

    did all this testing all this training data and they loaded in and then in the lab, it worked perfectly, but when they rolled it out, it failed miserably.

    Why when the scientists decompose the model, it turns out it wasn’t recognizing the wolf that all was recognized whether there was snow or not in the in the pictures, all The pictures the walls had snow on the ground.

    So it was a case where the model was not well supervised.

    When it comes to something like this, think about all the different environments that you can have in a crib.

    Yes, in theory, a crib should be a plane background, with no toys of distractions not but this is human humanity we’re talking about everybody’s environment is set up differently.

    lighting setup differently, and most critically when it comes to human beings.

    There is a tremendous amount of bias in AI data sets of images and videos of human beings.

    Most training data sets tend to skew heavily towards Caucasians people with lighter skin and of European descent, which means that if you if a company does not disclose their training data, then there’s a good chance that they did not train on people of African descent, people Asian descent, children with differentially abled, and so, to make the broad claim that the oldest product is going to help, you know, save your kid’s life without having detailed information about how the model was trained, I personally would not feel comfortable relying on such a thing now that said, Unless you own a like a 10,000 square foot house where, you know your kids literally all all the way on the other side of the, the the facility, and you can’t hear from one room to the next.

    As as a parent of two kids.

    We have a real small house Our house is like 1200 square feet.

    It can hear, you can hear everything whether you want to or not.

    And so I would question the need for this product in general.

    If you’re there, and you’re you can hear your kid crying and moving around, okay.

    infants are not quiet.

    And if you’re not there will if you know if the product is to try and stop Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, if it’s anything like a heart attack, you have a couple of minutes to react before you need to go and do something before the damage becomes irreversible.

    And so I don’t know how much youtility this product is I I my opinion, my feeling my emotion about it is that I think it’s taking advantage of parents in some ways, in the sense of, well, you know, you’re you’re deathly afraid that your kids going to roll over and die.

    And certainly, as a parent, nobody wants to lose, John.

    No matter what the statistics are, if it’s you.

    It’s awful.

    But I feel like it’s Probably product is a solution in search of a real problem.

    And it takes advantage of those fears that parents have, particularly these days where people have become so incredibly risk averse, that they will buy stuff that may or may not be helped them out.

    I don’t think this product will do any harm, right, you install it.

    As long as you don’t abdicate your parenting responsibilities, it’s not going to do any harm.

    But I don’t know that it will provide any help and I don’t know the cost is worth it compared to a traditional baby monitor if you want to use just a traditional old fashioned one.

    That is just sound when you wirelessly transmitted on a standard radio frequency, no cloud, no internet involved just good old fashioned radio transmit that you can get at Target or Walmart or wherever for 3040 bucks.

    I feel like that’s probably just as good a solution in this case.

    If that is a serious concern, and if you believe that, and if you’re able to be a present parent and and unless you yourself have a medical condition which you just can’t hear things you see, the AI monitor is quite not going to help either way.

    So the key things, though, are what happens to the production data? What happens to the test data? The training data, how well was it trained? How diversity was it trained? And does it solve the problem that you’re asking you to solve? I would, I guess I don’t think the money’s worth in this case.

    But if you got extra money and you have no idea what to do with it, I guess it doesn’t hurt.

  • You Ask, I Answer: Custom Attribution Models in Google Analytics?

    You Ask, I Answer: Custom Attribution Models in Google Analytics?

    Dee asks, “With regard to your attribution models in your AI talks, do you need to create custom reports to get this data into your google analytics? If so, how do you go about doing this and/or anything you could provide to help?”

    The short answer is that the Trust Insights attribution models exist outside of Google Analytics, produced with custom machine learning code. It’s not something built into the platform because it’s too computationally costly. As you evolve in your own analytics journey, you’ll notice you spend less time in prepackaged software and more time with custom code.

    Machine-Generated Transcript

    What follows is an AI-generated transcript. The transcript may contain errors and is not a substitute for watching the video.

    In today’s episode D asks, with regard to your attribution models in your artificial intelligence talks, do you need to create custom reports to get this data into Google Analytics? If so, how do you go about doing that and we’re anything can use to provide some help.

    So this is in reference to the talk that both I and my business partner Katie Rivera give on five applications of AI for marketing, one of which is doing attribution analysis with Google Analytics data.

    Google Analytics has attribution models built in.

    It has the the five standard ones first touch, last touch, linear time decay, and of course, your own custom models.

    But the custom models are largely position based models.

    That’s not bad, right? That’s okay.

    Well, I mean, first touch last touch of worthless, but time decay is an okay model, and then customize it with your own weights, isn’t it? Okay model.

    But that is relatively.

    They’re the models that both Google Analytics and and other companies like Adobe analytics and stuff provide are built for efficiency and speed, they are not built for accuracy, because the better models for attribution analysis are very computationally costly.

    They take minutes, sometimes even many minutes close to an hour, depending on the model to run.

    It is not something that a vendor is going to offer it, you know, click this button and come back in an hour, come back in, you know, in 30 minutes or go get a sandwich.

    That is a very unsatisfying user experience.

    And so vendors do not offer that.

    But if you want the best possible answers, those are the kinds of models you need to do.

    So these models are things you have to essentially build with your own custom code, or obviously, hire a company to do it for you.

    So that you can get access to the best possible data.

    One of the things that is a natural evolution in your analytics journey is going from a pre packaged product like Google Analytics, being the source of all of your information to more and more those applications being data providers, and then you yourself having to do the computation, the analysis and stuff offline outside of the application, because the application just doesn’t support the kinds of requests that you want to be doing.

    That’s not to say that there’s anything wrong with Google Analytics, or Adobe analytics, or any of these companies, there’s nothing wrong with their software, it’s just that at a certain point, your sophistication as a data driven marketer rises above the feature set that’s in the application.

    And that’s a good thing.

    If you find that you’re getting fewer and fewer answers from the built in software, and you need more and more work outside of the software, that means you’re getting probably means you’re getting to tougher questions, with more valuable answers, right? It’s super easy to look and say all how many goal completions did we get? or How many? How much traffic did we get? Or what percentage of people use a smartphone to get to our device? And those are important questions.

    Those are questions you need the answers to but they’re easy, easy questions to answer.

    harder questions or things like? What are the behaviors of specific segments? Which attribution model works best? How do we do attribution modeling at the individual channel level rather than the groupings that are built in? And those are things that require more processing outside? And then you start getting into the really complex stuff? Like what about taking into account activity data that is offline? What about taking into account activity data that doesn’t have a direct line of sight to our goal completions? What about blending in our CRM data, all those things exist outside of the application, because that’s not what Google Analytics is for.

    And you have to use third party software, third party tools, your own software, your own tools to get those answers.

    So when you find that you are at that point, that is a, that’s a moment worth celebrating, because you have reached a level of sophistication as a digital marketer, that indicates you are creating real value for your company, you are asking tougher and tougher questions demanding tougher and tougher answers.

    One of the things that you’ll have to change that and also is giving consideration to what vendors you use.

    Because if you use the built in software less than less, then paying for an expensive, fancy user interface becomes less and less important.

    And the quality and quantity of data you can export from an application becomes more important.

    There are services out there.

    We are partners and strong friends with the folks over at talk Walker, they have a nice application.

    Yeah, it’s good.

    But I don’t use it all that much.

    I use it for the data export, they have some of the richest, most robust data that you can have access to on social media and listening and stuff like that way more than I was ever able to get out of other competing software packages by 10 x.

    And that means that I can build better models, I can run more complex reports, I can do better analysis.

    So for you and your journey, you’ll have to once you start running into things like hey, that wasn’t me, there’s a 5000 row export limit.

    That’s no, that’s no good.

    That’s again, another sign that you are you are reaching the increasing levels of sophistication with your digital marketing.

    Same for SEO tools.

    I’ve used Mas, and RS and sem rush and spy foo and all these and bright edge all these tools.

    And I like RFS the best not because their interfaces beautiful and it’s okay gets the job done.

    But their data export is second to none.

    I mean that millions of lines of data every month, which you need to be able to do modern day SEO, modern day SEO is all powered by machine learning.

    So you better be building your own machine learning models for these things.

    So can you build back to these question, can you build this technology yourself? Absolutely.

    And in fact, in both my talking Katie’s talk, we explain the methodology use it is Markov chain modeling.

    So if you are familiar with Markov chains, do an implementation with the data from Google Analytics.

    If you’re not familiar with Markov chains, it’s a good starting point, for your line of inquiry for your area of study to figure out how you can use that.

    One area that I’m personally looking at right now is taking up level two hidden Markov models, because there are some things that are hidden, and some data that’s visible.

    And I’m trying to figure out how do I build software that can answer that question of what’s hidden? Because what’s hidden for us as marketers is? What’s in somebody’s head? Right? The classical example is, if you don’t have windows, new office, but your coworker comes in and they’re wearing a raincoat, and it’s all wet, you can make an inference with strong probability of probability that it’s raining out.

    Right? So you have a known piece of data, but you have the unknown data about what’s going on outside.

    The same is true for data in Google Analytics, right? You see organic searches, you see conversions, you see some things, but you don’t see why somebody made a decision, you don’t see offline, you don’t see word of mouth.

    But you could infer those things potentially, with a technique like hidden Markov models, or some of the more advanced deep learning methods.

    And so that’s my own personal line of inquiry, taking the data that we do have access to, and trying to infer the stuff that we do not have access to.

    So that’s where my journey is going.

    And we’re, I hope your journey is going as well, because the technology now exists for us to be able to get answers to some of these really difficult questions and marketing.

    And that’s, that’s exciting.

    It is exciting times.

    So unfortunately, the what we can do to help you if the customer reports in Google Analytics because that report does not exist in there.

    It’s it’s our own custom code.

    If you have a company and you would like to engage Trust Insights to run those reports on your behalf by all means please hit us up.

    We’re here.

    We’re happy to help.

  • You Ask, I Answer: Keywords Per Page in SEO?

    You Ask, I Answer: Keywords Per Page in SEO?

    Hannah asks, “How many focus keywords are you using per page? Does the amount you focus on per page change depending on the domain authority?”

    This is a more complex question than it used to be. Fundamentally, Google now uses semantic clustering for all its topics, made with machine learning. What this means is that it’s no longer a question of a word or even a phrase, but a topic that you focus on which contains words, phrases, and even sentences that make a page more authoritative. This is also in combination with dozens of other authority signals that Google details at length in its quality rater guidelines:

    Machine-Generated Transcript

    What follows is an AI-generated transcript. The transcript may contain errors and is not a substitute for watching the video.

    Today’s episode Hannah asks, How many focus keywords are you using per page? Does the amount you focus on per patient change depending on the domain authority? This is a more complex question that used to be fundamentally, Google, in particular, search engines in general, all the major ones, but Google especially now uses some of the most advanced machine learning behind its search algorithms to do what’s called semantic clustering for all topics, and what this means is that Google’s not looking at words anymore, doesn’t mean I’m looking at phrases.

    In recent episodes, with their engineers on various machine learning podcasts, they’ve been talking about vector ization of phrases, and even entire sentences to figure out what pages are related to other pages what content is related to content.

    And so it’s now not a question of the word, the phrase, the key word, it is a question about the topic and does your content speak authoritative Lee to that content.

    This is one part of many, many parts that goes into modern search ranking.

    And it is very, very complex.

    The best way to get started wrapping your brain around this is to actually read Google’s search quality evaluated guidelines.

    So one of the things that Google does, is hires professional people, but not professionally, but hires people to go through a training and then rate pages, randomly selected throughout its index, and rate them on quality essentially, is a page that’s that fits the needs of the user that is high quality, etc.

    I’m going to actually bring this up here.

    This is the search quality guidelines document this thing is massive, right? It is a large chunk of text that Google explains in 167 pages, how it wants the people who are hired to evaluate web pages.

    So they talk about finding the website page quality, what constitutes high quality pages, what constitutes low quality pages, how to rate specific types of pages, understanding mobile needs, and the same whether a page fits the intent of its its queries.

    And that you might be saying, well, so Google uses AI.

    Why does Why does any of this matter? Well, this is how they train their AI.

    Right? This data is what forms a large chunk of the basis of how it understands the rest of its index.

    These are the are essentially training data sets that Google is creating from paid users.

    And so if you adhere to the guidelines in this document, you will have a much better, you’ll be much better prepared to rank well, for all the stuff that Google the algorithms that that then take the train and build these advanced machine learning models.

    So to optimize your pages.

    It’s now it’s now a lot more about psychology, journalism and and all these things that humans want, rather than rather than going after words and phrases, like the old joke is, you know, an SEO professional walks into a bar, comma, tavern, common pub.

    Because of that was SEO in the old days.

    Today, it is a lot more complex.

    So let’s look at one thing I think is worth pointing out here.

    Let’s go into what Google considers the highest quality pages, the pages that will rank the best.

    A very high quality MC main content is a there’s a high standard for accuracy and well established consensus where such consensus exists.

    It’s the creation of unique and original content for the specific website.

    What constitutes that content may be different.

    For news, original reporting that provides information that would not have otherwise been known had the article not revealed it, often very high quality news will include a description of primary sources and other original reporting weapons during the content creation process should be accurate and meet professional journalistic standards for informational content.

    accurate, original, accurate, comprehensive, clearly communicated, professionally presented presented as will reflect expert consensus as appropriate.

    That’s a lot of stuff in there just on the quality of the content that doesn’t even get into things like reputation.

    But think about your content.

    Are you just creating, are you creating stuff that is original content, hence of em, and highly credible using your subject matter experts at your company, if you’re not, you will not rank as well.

    The other thing I wanted to point out in here that’s really interesting, is let’s go past the lowest quality pages, medium quality pages.

    This phrase here is so important.

    Nothing wrong, but nothing special.

    How much of your content meets that standard of nothing wrong, but nothing special? That’s where I think most companies go wrong in their SEO, there’s nothing that’s wrong.

    But there’s nothing that makes it stand out as a piece of original reporting as a piece of high quality content.

    That’s one of the reasons why I advocate especially for that that hero hub health model that Google released in 2014.

    Your quarterly pieces that should be a quarterly piece that is hero content that is that exhaustive conference, handsome research paper or jury investigative journalism piece, that you put in the time, the effort, the money, the resources to build once a quarter that meets this highest quality standard.

    on a monthly basis, you try to aim for high quality.

    Right? So high quality pages, a satisfying amount of high quality content, including a descriptive helpful type title.

    Spend a few minutes examining main content before joining conclusion about it.

    What What is high quality content, who’s responsible customer service links, positive reputation, these are all things that Google says it is expecting to see.

    And it wants its readers to see on high quality pages.

    So your monthly content should be that that high quality content, those high quality pages.

    And Google uses this expression, expertise, authoritative ness and trustworthiness.

    Are these are these high quality pages? Are they produced with journalistic professionalism? Are they produced come from trustworthy sources? Do they have demonstrate significant life experience? That is something that actually shows that Google explains his everyday experience.

    If you you may not necessarily, for example, like your general contractor, you may not have a degree in anything, but you have 20 years building houses.

    And you can clearly demonstrate your expertise, and show little tips and tricks that might not otherwise generally be known.

    Just like if you’re a chef, and you explain to people that tomatoes contain natural glues, hammock acid, and when you add salt to debate, it forms a natural type of monosodium glutamate, MSG, that enhances the flavor of tomatoes, right? That’s one of those little things that the average person doesn’t know until they read your content.

    And then you go, oh, that totally changes how I cook tomatoes, for example.

    So worry much less about those keywords worry much more about creating high quality content, grab this guide, it is available, I’ll put a link in the notes here.

    It is from Google, read it, make exhaustive notes through it.

    And you got to read the whole thing, right? There are a lot of companies and a lot of websites that have done a passable summary, you know, of this document.

    But there’s a reason it’s 167 pages, it’s because Google wants you to be very clear about what you’re supposed to be doing with your content to make the most of it.

    But yeah, grab it, read it, download it, and then adhere to it when you’re creating your content and follow hero help help plan to make the highest quality content once a quarter, high quality content once a month, and then medium to high quality content as you can on a high frequency basis.

    Again, aiming to be helpful.

    As much as five Google talks a lot about content that is useful and helpful in here.

    So great question, leave your comments below or join us in the slack group over at Trust insights.ai slash analytics for marketers to discuss this topic and many more.

  • You Ask, I Answer: Best Voice Transcription Services?

    You Ask, I Answer: Best Voice Transcription Services?

    Heidi asks, “Which is the best and cheapest way to transcribe an audio file into text? And which tool do you use?”

    The answer to this question depends on your level of skill. For most people in most circumstances, I recommend Otter.ai. That’s the best blend of cost and performance. If you really, really care about performance and you have the technical skill, I recommend building a custom model trained on your voice specifically with IBM Watson or an open-source deep learning network. That’s for a very select group of people, though – most people will be just fine with Otter.ai.

    What follows is an AI-generated transcript. The transcript may contain errors and is not a substitute for watching the video.

    In today’s episode, Heidi asks, What is the best and cheapest way to transcribe audio files into text? And which tool do I use? So good question, the answer to this question is going to depend very heavily on your level of skill and your budget.

    Right? For most people, in most circumstances, including myself, I recommend and use otter.ai le pull up on my phone here.

    otter.ai is very, very straightforward.

    Either load an audio file into it or you, you record live.

    So in fact, I’m going to turn on the live recording now.

    And what it’s doing is it’s listening to me.

    And as it listens to me, it is starting to transcribe in in real time or near real time, which is very, very handy.

    I use this a ton on my end, for conference calls, because I will say something like, Oh, yeah, we can get you that report on Tuesday.

    And I’m like later on what what did I say.

    So because the way you can split audio on a desktop computer, you can record only your end of the conversation.

    For if you need to record the entire conversation.

    Remember that you have to be in compliance with your localities or or countries wiretapping laws, because it is technically a form of wiretapping also allows you to take live audio feeds, there’s enough good audio in the room, like if you’re at a conference, and you’re sitting like right in front of the speaker, you can have it running and transcribing and actually, Simon allow one of the head folks there show me you can actually highlight and share the snippet along with the audio back to social media, which is pretty cool.

    pricing on this is terrific pricing is about 10 a month, for I believe it’s 100 hours of recorded audio, which unless you are literally having somebody follow you around all day long, and just record everything that should be more than enough for almost everybody who is attending meetings, going to conferences, and even doing daily videos and podcasts.

    So that’s the best solution that I think for most people in most circumstances.

    Now, there are exceptions, if you really, really, really care about performance, and you have the technical skill to do so you may want to build a custom model that is trained on your voice specifically.

    And you would do something that with something like IBM Watson speech to text you can do with Google Cloud voice, you can do it with Amazon AWS recognition, all these services allow you to build custom train models on your voice, they are actually less expensive.

    In some cases, then auto but they require you to have access sense of knowledge of Python, because that is the language that you write the code in to interface with these services.

    So that’s a case where not many people will have the technical skill, but could take advantage of the customization.

    A really good use case for that would be if you have very complex custom lexicons, and you have a speaking voice that is in some way slightly different or more unusual, in which an off the shelf applications not going to perform as well.

    So if you have, for example, a strong accent, you would probably want to do a custom model.

    Even if you’re speaking English, you’d still want to a custom model, or especially if you speak languages other than like main, mainstream languages, like most of these apps, are released in the American and the UK market, and are tuned on the English language.

    If you are speaking like Pashtun, or Swahili, or salsa, most of these apps are not going to work for you.

    And you would need to go the custom modeling route.

    To work with that, if you don’t fly out, don’t have the money at all, you could build a an open source deep learning neural network on your laptop and use some of the freely available code out there to build that network.

    And that’s, that’s an even greater leap beyond when it comes to the technical skill that you need.

    So most people most circumstances otter.ai, I think it is the best app out there for people, depending on on the market for some folks who have very special needs custom pre trained voice models with IBM or Amazon or Google.

    And then for those folks who have the highest level of technical skill or the zero, like complete zero budget, but you have a laptop that for some strange reason has a GPU that you can use, you would do the open source deep learning neural network, I would say for the most part, stick with the vendors.

    Because one of the things that’s happening right now in the in the natural language recognition space, is that the technology is evolving quickly.

    And again, if this is not your core competency as a business, there’s no reason for you to be building your own and then trying to keep up with the software, I don’t even do that.

    And AI and machine learning is the core of of our business.

    But for the most part, everything off the shelf is really really is good enough.

    I also like the fact that otter allows you to share transcripts.

    So you can it’s it’s performs very similarly to like Google Docs and Google Drive.

    If you’ve done a meeting with somebody, like I did this recently in a in an interview, I said to the interviewer, let’s capture the audio, and then I’ll send you an automated transcript and I could send them the link.

    And it has that sort of dictation style playback, where you can see the little words going across the screen and then replay certain sections.

    And that was super helpful, especially because the interviewer English is not their first language.

    So I have a tendency to speak quickly.

    And we were talking about some fairly complex stuff.

    So they were able to get the transcript to reference for the article.

    So that’s my recommendations for voice transcription services, as of autumn 2019, the landscape is always changing.

    And there are always services to keep an eye out for and try.

    The best way to compare services on the pricing basis is price per recorded minutes to figure out or ask as you deal with vendors, what is your price per recorded minute, because some folks will say like, yeah, you know, for10 a month you get this, but then it’s an extra, you know, four cents a minute.

    And then when you work out your all the math and how many minutes you’re allowed.

    I did this recently, somebody was pitching this thing, I go for podcasts, we got the best transcription service, you know, highest accuracy rates and stuff.

    It’s only, you know, X dollars a month.

    And on the surface, it sounded good.

    I read the Terms of Service, though, and I was like, that is literally 128 times more in terms of cost per recorded minute, then honor.

    And I don’t think they’re transcriptions that much better.

    It’s not hundred 28 times better.

    And I’m certainly not in a situation where I would need that level of accuracy.

    The other thing that really messes people up when they’re comparing transcription services is that if you’re used to a human transcription service, a human is going to edit out and maybe even rephrase and tweak your language machine will never do that.

    If you don’t speak in the same way that you write, any automated service is going to be a disappointment to you and was going to require more editing because you need you’re expecting machine to edit for you and they’re not at that point yet.

    Automated services will take exactly what you give them and spit out almost exactly what what they heard.

    So if you don’t speak as the same way you write, you’re going to do a lot of editing.

    And it’s not comparable to human.

    I personally don’t again, for my use cases, I don’t find that the cost increase going from you know, something like a penny per recorded minute to $1 per recorded minute.

    I don’t see the justification for that for what I do.

    But other people who need to have the more I guess, be spoke transcripts, you may still need a human to do the editing, either as part of the transcription process or afterwards.

    So keep that in mind as well.

    Great question.
