At first, I wasn’t sure what to post or how to stay consistent.But five years after that first attempt, I’ve:Done a 90-day posting streak from January…

Introduction are among the most popular tools for explaining Machine Learning (ML) and Deep Learning (DL) models. However, for time-series data, these methods often fall short because they do not account for the temporal dependencies inherent in such datasets. In a recent article, we (Ángel Luis Perales Gómez, Lorenzo Fernández Maimó and me) introduced ShaTS, a novel Shapley-based explainability method specifically designed for time-series models. ShaTS addresses the limitations of traditional Shapley methods by incorporating grouping strategies that enhance both computational efficiency and explainability.

As marketers, we love a great funnel. It provides clarity on how our strategies are working. We have conversion rates and can track the customer journey from discovery through conversion. But in today’s AI-first world, our funnel has gone dark. We can’t yet fully measure visibility in AI experiences like ChatGPT or Perplexity. While emerging tools offer partial insights, their data isn’t comprehensive or consistently reliable. Traditional metrics like impressions and clicks still don’t tell the whole story in these spaces, leaving marketers facing a new kind of measurement gap. To help bring clarity, let’s look at what we know…
