Samenvatting:
Get the big picture and the important details with this end-to-end guide for designing highly effective, reliable machine learning systems.
From the back cover:
In Machine Learning System Design: With end-to-end examples you'll find a step-by-step framework for creating, implementing, releasing, and maintaining your ML system. Every part of the life cycle is covered, from information gathering to keeping your system well-serviced. Each stage includes its own handy checklist of requirements and is fully illustrated with real-world examples, including interesting anecdotes from the author's own careers.
You'll follow two example companies each building a new ML system, exploring how their needs are expressed in design documents and learning best practices by writing your own. Along the way, you'll learn how to ace ML system design interviews, even at highly competitive FAANG-like companies, and improve existing ML systems by identifying bottlenecks and optimizing system performance.
About the reader:
