Problem Statement and Metrics
Explore how to formulate a problem statement for estimating total food delivery time using order details and environmental factors. Understand designing offline and online metrics like RMSE and A/B testing to evaluate accuracy and customer impact. Learn requirements for high-throughput training pipelines and near real-time inference with low latency. This lesson prepares you to build scalable, accurate time estimation models that adapt to dynamic conditions.
Estimate Delivery Time
1. Problem statement
Build a model to estimate the total delivery time given order details (e.g. order size, restaurant location, customer location), market conditions (e.g. weather, events, holidays), and real-time traffic status (e.g. road closures, congestion levels).
To keep it simple, we do not consider batching (group multiple orders at restaurants) in this exercise.
