A report is a structured presentation of information, findings, measurements, analysis, or outcomes for a defined audience or purpose.
Machine Learning System Design
The process of presenting measurements, analyses, or system outcomes to inform evaluation and decision-making.
- How it is used
- Connects model evaluation with business outcomes and stakeholder decisions after offline and online testing.
- How deep it goes
- Combines metrics, error analysis, experiment monitoring, and artifact review, but stops short of prescribing a universal report format.
- Examples
- Uses forecasting metrics, category comparisons, business-impact estimates, visualizations, and validation or test tables.
- What you can do after
- Evaluate/understand model effects, communicate credible results, and support decisions about continued experimentation or release.
Effective Data Analysis
A report is a structured communication artifact that presents analyzed information and findings.
- How it is used
- Supports stakeholder decisions by communicating analyzed business findings through summaries, methods, significance, and visuals.
- How deep it goes
- Defines reports operationally and demonstrates a results excerpt, but stops short of prescribing a complete reporting workflow.
- Examples
- Uses a search-functionality comparison, significance values, customer satisfaction change, and bar graphs as reporting examples.
- What you can do after
- Evaluate/understand findings and communicate methods, statistical significance, comparisons, and practical implications to stakeholders.
