Synopsis

Machine learning systems are both complex and unique. Complex because they consist of many different components and involve many different stakeholders. Unique because they're data dependent, with data varying wildly from one use case to the next. In this book, you'll learn a holistic approach to designing ML systems that are reliable, scalable, maintainable, and adaptive to changing environments and business requirements.

Author Chip Huyen, cofounder of Claypot AI, considers each design decision—such as how to process and create training data, which features to use, how often to retrain models, and what to monitor—in the context of how it can help your system as a whole achieve its objectives. The iterative framework in this book uses actual case studies backed by ample references.

This book will help you tackle scenarios such as engineering data and choosing the right metrics to solve a business problem; automating the process for continually developing, evaluating, deploying, and updating models; developing a monitoring system to quickly detect and address issues your models might encounter in production; architecting an ML platform that serves across use cases; and developing responsible ML systems.

Goodreads review by Yury on July 21, 2022

As an ML engineer or a Data Scientist, that’s exactly what you need to deploy ML models and maintain them in production. I am currently working on an internal ML platform, and the books resonates very well with the discussions that we are having among Data Scientists, managers, and engineers. How do......more

Goodreads review by Thang on May 25, 2022

One of the most comprehensive books in MLOps. Start reading this book to understand more about model deployment, and I am satisfied with the content. Some notes for myself: - It takes time to start from development -> production. Setting up a CI/CD, and auto-update for models is tremendous work since......more

A Work focused on Industry Practitioners A Person from Mathematics, Physics, Engineering background would find these with ease. Most Software, Computer Science might not be familiar with formal mathematical jargon. Consider going through fundamentals, practicing to help you understand. Some Easy Not......more

Goodreads review by Giulio on December 27, 2022

Very technical, but still accessible and well written textbook on ML systems. It goes very deep on the infra, almost DEVops stuff, but it was expected (the author is a ML eng). It is a great complement to conventional data science books, which focus primarily on algorithms and data manipulation. NOTES M......more
