How Einstein 1 And Data Cloud Enable AI-driven Results

The artificial intelligence capabilities of Einstein 1 have already generated a great deal of hype and development, which will be a significant emphasis of Dreamforce 2024. A corresponding focus has also been observed on the Data Cloud, which is the mechanism that combines data from many sources to enable this AI magic. However, precisely how do the two cooperate? Does Einstein 1 need to be enabled with Data Cloud?

Data Unification: Data Cloud as the Basis

Salesforce has made significant investments in Data Cloud over the last few years. As a result, it went from being a mid-tier customer data platform to the Leader position in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for 2023. Ultimately, it is clear that inside the Salesforce ecosystem, Cloudera Data Platform (CDP) offers the strongest basis for a complete data solution.

Data Cloud absorbs and unifies data from throughout the company to release data that has become imprisoned. Data can be included and connected to the Salesforce data model with more than 200 native connectors, such as those for AWS, Snowflake, and IBM Db2. As a result, it may be used for analytics, Customer 360 profiles, marketing campaigns, and sophisticated AI features.

To put it simply, you can do more with your data the better it is. This necessitates a careful examination of the data prior to Data Cloud ingestion: Do you possess the information points required for customization? Do the various data sources employ the same formats required for sophisticated analytics? Are you able to train the AI models with enough data?

Recall that your teams will still require proper usage of the data after it has been imported and mapped in Data Cloud. This could entail using a “two in a box” approach to work with a partner in order to quickly absorb and put those lessons into practice. On the other hand, it necessitates extensive training, change management, and a readiness to embrace the new instruments. Teams must have documentation such as a “Data Dictionary for Marketers” in order to completely comprehend the data points they are utilizing in their campaigns.

Improved AI tools are offered by Einstein 1 Studio

Once Data Cloud is operational, you can utilize Einstein 1 Studio, which houses Salesforce’s most advanced and potent AI tools.

Salesforce’s low-code platform for integrating AI throughout its product line is called Einstein 1 Studio, and it can only be accessed through Data Cloud. Salesforce is making significant investments in the Einstein 1 Studio roadmap, and with each new release, the features get better. As of early September 2024, when this article is written, Einstein 1 Studio is made up of three parts:

Prompt builder

Salesforce users may integrate these generative AI capabilities into any item, including contact records, by creating reusable AI prompts with the prompt builder. AI commands such as record summarization, enhanced analytics, and suggested offers and actions are triggered by these prompts.

Copilot builder

Salesforce copilots are artificial intelligence interfaces that are generative and based on natural language processing. They are designed to enhance customer experiences and increase productivity, both internally and externally. In addition to triggering actions and updates using Apex and Flow, Copilot Builder lets you personalize the built-in Copilot functions with prompt builder features like summarizations and AI-driven search.

Model builder

Businesses can utilize the standard large language models from Salesforce by utilizing the Bring Your Own Model (BYOM) option. If they want to employ the ideal AI model for their company, they can also integrate their own, such as SageMaker, OpenAI, or IBM Granite. Furthermore, a new model can be constructed using Model Builder and reliable Data Cloud data.

How can you determine which model produces the greatest outcomes? You can test and validate responses with the BYOM tool, and you should also take a look at this model comparison tool.

As Salesforce continues to make significant investments in this field, expect to see frequent updates and new features.

Salesforce AI features in the absence of Data Cloud

If you haven’t yet utilized Data Cloud or absorbed a significant amount of data, Salesforce nevertheless offers a range of artificial intelligence functionalities. These can be accessed using Tableau, Sales Cloud, Service Cloud, Marketing Cloud, and Commerce Cloud. These built-in AI features include suggestions for products, generative AI content, and case and call summary. The potential for AI outputs increases with the quality and coherence of the data.

This is a really useful feature, and you ought to utilize Salesforce’s AI capabilities in the following ways:

Optimization of campaigns

Marketing campaign subject lines and message copy can be created using Einstein Generative AI, and Einstein Copy Insights can even compare the suggested copy to past campaigns to estimate engagement rates. This feature extends beyond Marketing Cloud; depending on CRM record data, it may also suggest AI-generated copy for Sales Cloud messages.

Recommendations

Based on CRM data, product catalogs, and past behavior, Einstein Recommendations can be utilized across clouds to suggest goods, information, and engagement tactics. The recommendation could take many different forms, such as customized copy depending on the situation or a recommendation for a product that is the next best offer.

Search and self-service

Based on the query’s natural language processing, past interactions, and a variety of tool data points, Einstein Search offers customized search results. Based on Salesforce’s foundation of security and trust, Einstein Article Answers can enable self-service by promoting responses from a chosen knowledge base.

Advanced analytics

Although Tableau CRM (previously Einstein Analytics), a specialized analytics visualization and insights tool, is available from Salesforce, Salesforce itself has AI-based advanced analytics capabilities built in. Numerous reports and dashboards, such as Einstein Lead Scoring, sales summary, and marketing campaigns, emphasize these business-focused advanced analytics.

AI, Data, CRM, and Trust

Salesforce offers strong tools within the Salesforce ecosystem thanks to its focus on Einstein 1 as “CRM + AI + Data + Trust.” The only way to improve these tools is to use Data Cloud as the primary tool for activating, combining, and aggregating data. You should anticipate considerably more improvement from this in the future. The AI industry is changing at an astonishing rate, and Salesforce is still setting the standard with its investments and methods.

Einstein 1 pricing

Pricing for Einstein 1 is offered in two editions:

Einstein 1 for Sales:

Cost: $500 per month for each user

Features: Consists of all the features found in Sales Cloud Unlimited Edition plus Data Cloud, Sales Planning, Maps, Revenue Intelligence, Generative AI, Enablement, Slack, and Slack Sales Elevate.

Enhancing ML Efficiency with Amazon SageMaker

Taking machine learning models from conceptualization to production is complex and time-consuming. Companies need to handle a huge amount of data to train the model, choose the best algorithm for training and manage the computing capacity while training it. Moreover, another major challenge is to deploy the models into a production environment.

Amazon SageMaker simplifies such complexities. It makes easier for businesses to build and deploy ML models. It offers the required underlying infrastructure to scale your ML models at petabyte level and easily test and deploy them to production.

Read our blog to understand A comprehensive guide to Amazon SageMaker

Scaling data processing with SageMaker

The typical workflow of a machine learning project involves the following steps:

Build: Define the problem, gather and clean data

Train: Engineer the model to learn the patterns from the data

Deploy: Deploy the model into a production system

This entire cycle is highly iterative. There are chances that the changes made at any stage of the process can loop back the progress to any state. Amazon SageMaker provides various built-in training algorithms and pre-trained models. You can choose the model according to your requirements for quick model training. This allows you to scale your ML workflow.

SageMaker offers Jupyter NoteBooks running R/Python kernels with a compute instance that you can choose as per the data engineering requirements. After data engineering, data scientists can easily train models using a different compute instance based on the model’s compute demand. The tool offers cost-effective solutions for:

Provisioning hardware instances

Running high-capacity data jobs

Orchestrating the entire flow with simple commands

Enabling serverless elastic deployment works with a few lines of code

Three main components of Amazon SageMaker

SageMaker allows data scientists, engineers and machine learning experts to efficiently build, train and host ML algorithms. This enables you to accelerate your ML models to production. It consists of three components:

Authoring: you can run zero-setup hosted Jupyter notebook IDEs on general instance types or GPU-powered instances for data exploration, cleaning and pre-processing.

Model training: you can use built-in supervised and unsupervised algorithms to train your own models. Amazon SageMaker trained models are not code dependent but data dependent. This enables easy deployment.

Model hosting: to get real-time interferences, you can use AWS’ model hosting service with HTTPs endpoints. These endpoints can scale to support traffic and allow you do A/B testing on multiple models simultaneously.

Benefits of using Amazon SageMaker

Cost-efficient model training

Training deep learning models requires high GPU utilization. Moreover, the ML algorithms that are CPU-intensive should switch to another instance type with a higher CPU:GPU ratio.

With AWS SageMaker heterogeneous clusters, data engineers can easily train the models with multiple instance types. This takes some of the CPU tasks from the GPU instances and transfers them to dedicated compute-optimized CPU instances. This ensures higher GPU utilization as well as faster and more cost-efficient training.

Rich algorithm library

Once you have defined a use case for your machine learning project, you can choose an appropriate built-in algorithm offered by SageMaker that is valid for your respective problem type. It provides a wide range of pre-trained models, pre-built solution templates and examples relevant for various problem types.

ML community

With AWS ML researchers, customers, influencers and experts, SageMaker offers a niche ML community where data scientists and engineers come together to discuss ML uses and issues. It offers a range of videos, blogs and tutorials to help accelerate ML model deployment.

ML community is a place to discuss, learn and chat with experts and influencers regarding machine learning algorithms.

Pay-as-you-use model

One of the best advantages of Amazon SageMaker is the fee structure. Amazon SageMaker is free to try. As a part of AWS Free Tier, you can get started with Amazon SageMaker for free. Moreover, once the trial period is over, you need to pay only for what you use.

You have two types of payment choices:

On-demand pricing – it offers no minimum fees. You can utilize SageMaker services without any upfront commitments.

SageMaker savings plans – AWS offers a flexible, usage-based pricing model. You need to pay a consistent amount of usage in return.

If you use a computing instance for a few seconds, billed at a few dollars per hour, you will still be charged only for the seconds you use the instance. Compared to other cloud-based self-managed solutions, SageMaker provides at least 54% lower total cost of ownership over three years.

Real-time Model Oversight: Amazon SageMaker vs Databricks ML Monitoring Features

Model monitoring is crucial in the lifecycle of machine learning models, especially for models deployed in production environments. Model monitoring is not just a "nice-to-have" but is essential to ensure the models' robustness, accuracy, fairness, and reliability in real-world applications. Without monitoring, model predictions can be unreliable, or even detrimental to the business or end-users. As a model builder, how often have you thought about how models’ behavior will change over time? In my professional life, I have seen many production systems managing model retraining life cycle using heuristic, gut feel or scheduled basis, either leading to the wastage of precious resources or performing retraining too late.

This is a ripe problem space as many models have been deployed in production. Hence there are many point solutions such as Great Expectations, Neptune.ai, Fiddler.ai who all boast really cool features either in terms of automatic metrics computation, differentiated statistical methods or Responsible AI hype that has become a real need of time (Thanks to ChatGPT and LLMs). In this Op-ed, I would like to touch upon two systems that I am familiar with and are widely used.

Amazon SageMaker Model Monitor

Amazon SageMaker is AWS’s flagship fully managed ML service to Build, Train, Deploy & “Monitor” Machine Learning models. The service provides click through experience for set up using SageMaker Studio or API experience using SageMaker SDK. SageMaker assumes you to have clean datasets for training and can capture inference request/response based on user defined time interval. The system works for model monitoring if models are the problem, BUT What if Data that is fed to the model is a problem or a pipeline well upstream in ETL pipeline is a problem. AWS provides multiple Data Lake architectures and patterns to stitch end-2-end data and AI systems together but tracking data lineage is easy if not impossible.

The monitoring solution is flexible thanks to SageMaker processing job which is underlying mechanism to execute underlying metrics. SageMaker processing also lets you build your custom container. SageMaker model monitoring is integrated with Amazon SageMaker Clarify and can provide Bias Drift which is important for Responsible AI. Overall SageMaker monitoring does a decent job of alerting when model drifts.

Databricks Lakehouse Monitoring

Let's look at the second contender. Databricks is a fully managed Data and AI platform available across all major clouds and also boasts millions of downloads of MLFlow OSS. I have recently come across Databricks Lakehouse Monitoring which IMO is a really cool paradigm of Monitoring your Data assets.

Let me explain why you should care if you are an ML Engineer or Data Scientist?

Let's say you have built a cool customer segmentation model and deployed it in production. You have started monitoring the model using one of the cool bespoke tools I mentioned earlier which may pop up an alert blaming a Data field. Now What?

✔ How do you track where that field came from cobweb of data ETL pipeline?

✔ How do you find the root cause of the drift?

✔ How do you track where that field came from cobweb of data ETL pipeline?

Here comes Databricks Lakehouse Monitoring to the rescue. Databricks Lakehouse Monitoring lets you monitor all of the tables in your account. You can also use it to track the performance of machine learning models and model-serving endpoints by monitoring inference tables created by the model’s output.

Let's put this in perspective, Data Layer is a foundation of AI. When teams across data and AI portfolios work together in a single platform, productivity of ML Teams, Access to Data assets and Governance is much superior compared to siloed or point solution.

The Vision below essentially captures an ideal Data and Model Monitoring solution. The journey starts with raw data with Bronze -> Silver -> Golden layers. Moreover, Features are also treated as another table (That’s refreshing and new paradigm, Goodbye feature stores). Now you get down to ML brass tacks by using Golden/Feature Tables for Model training and serve that model up.

Databricks recently launched in preview awesome Inference table feature. Imagine all your requests/responses captured as a table than raw files in your object store. Possibilities are limitless if the Table can scale. Once you have ground truth after the fact, just start logging it in Groundtruth Table. Since all this data is being ETLed using Databricks components, the Unity catalog offers nice end-2-end data lineage similar to Delta Live Tables.

Now you can turn on Monitors, and Databricks start computing metrics. Any Data Drift or Model Drift can be root caused to upstream ETL tables or source code. Imagine that you love other tools in the market for monitoring, then just have them crawl these tables and get your own insights.

Looks like Databricks want to take it up the notch by extending Expectations framework in DLT to extend to any Delta Table. Imagine the ability to set up column level constraints and instructing jobs to fail, rollback or default. So, it means problems can be pre-empted before they happen. Can't wait to see this evolution in the next few months.

To summarize, I came up with the following comparison between SageMaker and Databricks Model Monitoring.CapabilityWinnerSageMakerDatabricksRoot cause AnalysisDatabricksConstraint and violations due to concept and model driftExtends RCA to upstream ETL pipelines as lineage is maintainedBuilt-in statisticsSageMakerUses Deque Spark library and SageMaker Clarify for Bias driftUnderlying metrics library is not exposed but most likely Spark libraryDashboardingDatabricksAvailable using SageMaker Studio so it is a mustRedash dashboards are built and can be customized or use your favorite BI tool.AlertingDatabricksNeeds additional configuration using Event BridgeBuilt in alertingCustomizabilityBothUses Processing jobs so customization of your own metricsMost metrics are built-in, but dashboards can be customizedUse case coverageSageMakerCoverage for Tabular and NLP use casesCoverage for tabular use casesEase of UseDatabricksOne-click enablementOne-click enablement but bonus for monitoring upstream ETL tables

Hope you enjoyed the quick read. Hope you can engage Propensity Labs for your next Machine Learning project no matter how hard the problem is, we have a solution. Keep monitoring.
