Approx. 10 hours to complete

Description

In the first course of Machine Learning Engineering for Production Specialization, you will identify the various components and design an ML production system end-to-end: project scoping, data needs, modeling strategies, and deployment constraints and requirements; and learn how to establish a model baseline, address concept drift, and prototype the process for developing, deploying, and continuously improving a productionized ML application.

Knowledge

  • Identify the key components of the ML lifecycle and pipeline and compare the ML modeling iterative cycle with the ML product deployment cycle.
  • Understand how performance on a small set of disproportionately important examples may be more crucial than performance on the majority of examples.
  • Solve problems for structured, unstructured, small, and big data. Understand why label consistency is essential and how you can improve it.
