The Iceberg Model

Employing The Iceberg Method to problem-solving will lay a foundation for creating long-term, sustainable solutions.

  1. Events : First, observe and describe what has happened or what is happening.
  2. Patterns & Trends : Then, determine if this event or similar events have happened before? What are the patterns of occurrences? What trends have you seen?
  3. Structures & Systems : Finally, identify the things, procedures or behaviors that contributed to this event. Why is this happening?
  4. Mental Models : What are the beliefs and assumptions that created and shaped the system?

Data Iceberg Model for Machine Learning

One of the pitfalls to developing production-ready machine learning solutions is the failure to identify the appropriate data assets. In evaluating the data assets to be used for your project, use the Data Iceberg Model approach to determine the underlying (i.e. not visible) structures that triggered the creation of the dataset. The following Data Iceberg Model can be used to evaluate the quality & limitations of the data used to train your machine learning models.
