Segmented Modeling supplies an out-of-the-box answer to simply create, handle and deploy granular fashions to forecast a excessive quantity of time collection. At DataRobot, we’ve helped purchasers throughout each business (together with finance, manufacturing, retail, healthcare and extra) convey AI/ML options into the true world to resolve enterprise issues. We’ve at all times prioritized leveraging automation to convey subtle and correct information science into the arms of our purchasers. These rules are particularly vital for big scale, SKU degree forecasting.
We’ve seen that in multiseries use instances organizations have a really excessive quantity of collection to forecast and run into many challenges when coaching, deploying, and sustaining these forecasts with out sacrificing accuracy. Managing these use instances may be very time-consuming and error inclined.
Introducing Segmented Modeling
Our segmented modeling know-how permits customers to create granular forecasts throughout a excessive quantity of time collection, decreasing the handbook expenditure wanted to generate these fashions with out sacrificing accuracy. By merely defining a characteristic to phase out collection in a dataset, DataRobot routinely fashions every group of collection individually, supplies a full leaderboard to judge every phase, and permits for deployment of and prediction upon all segments inside one venture. This performance is all usually out there on the platform right this moment!
Leveraging in Manufacturing
Fashions have to be introduced into manufacturing in a sustainable, simple to handle, low effort method. Customers want to observe the accuracy of their fashions by means of time, simply retrain, and swap to new fashions if wanted. All of those wants are simply as vital as coaching an correct mannequin, and as we convey extra superior know-how to our customers whereas coaching, we’re decided to make sure that worth is accessible in manufacturing.
With our launch in June 2022, we convey our customers the flexibility to leverage segmented modeling performance in manufacturing. With one click on, you possibly can deploy a segmented mannequin into manufacturing, benefiting from DataRobot MLOps performance throughout all fashions in your segmented modeling venture with out the necessity for a number of deployments. We’re excited to convey this workflow effectivity to our customers and proceed pushing ahead the potential that DataRobot AI Cloud platform has to resolve actual life issues.
Segmented Modeling in Motion
Let’s soar into how simple it’s to construct and deploy a segmented modeling on DataRobot!
- From the Begin display screen, arrange segmented modeling by defining your segments in a supervised, time-aware venture.
- After autopilot has run, you will notice a Mixed Mannequin in your leaderboard. This comprises all of the segments you outlined, and by clicking into it, you possibly can see all of your segments and a few high-level data.
- You may click on into every phase to see a full leaderboard. Right here you’ve entry to the total performance of an everyday venture, can consider every mannequin as you see match, after which set a Champion mannequin to point the consultant for that phase in your Mixed Mannequin.
- As soon as you’re glad with the Champion Fashions for every phase, you’re able to deploy your Mixed Mannequin into manufacturing, which will be accomplished on the Predict tab in a single click on.

- Lastly, you possibly can arrange accuracy monitoring, challenger settings, and some other MLOps performance you’d prefer to reap the benefits of.
