Lendable, the firm I work for, is currently scoping some work that will involve fitting models to much larger datasets than we are currently. As a part of this, I’d like to put together a public white paper listing best practices/model design ideas to take into account when building production-scale models for transaction-level data.

If anyone is keen, a couple of us are going to head to lunch tomorrow after the dev meeting to discuss these things. I’ll take notes and post them here afterwards. Anyone else interested should feel free to join.

Jim
