Machine Learning in Production

In this Machine Learning in Production course, you will build intuition about designing a production ML system end-to-end: project scoping, data needs, modeling strategies, and deployment patterns and technologies. You will learn strategies for addressing common challenges in production like establishing a model baseline, addressing concept drift, and performing error analysis. You’ll follow a framework for developing, deploying, and continuously improving a productionized ML application. Understanding machine learning and deep learning concepts is essential, but if you’re looking to build an effective AI career, you need experience preparing your projects for deployment as well. Machine learning engineering for production combines the foundational concepts of machine learning with the skills and best practices of modern software development necessary to successfully deploy and maintain ML systems in real-world environments. Week 1: Overview of the ML Lifecycle and Deployment Week 2: Modeling Challenges and Strategies Week 3: Data Definition and Baseline

• Week 1: Overview of the ML Lifecycle and Deployment
• This week covers a quick introduction to machine learning production systems focusing on their requirements and challenges. Next, the week focuses on deploying production systems and what is needed to do so robustly while facing constantly changing data.
• Week 2: Modeling Challenges and Strategies
• This week is about model strategies and key challenges in model development. It covers error analysis and strategies to work with different data types. It also addresses how to cope with class imbalance and highly skewed data sets.
• Week 3: Data Definition and Baseline
• This week is all about working with different data types and ensuring label consistency for classification problems. This leads to establishing a performance baseline for your model and discussing strategies to improve it given your time and resources constraints. This week also includes the final end-to-end project.
