Machine Learning System Design: With end-to-end examples
Get the big picture and the important details with this end-to-end guide for designing highly effective, reliable machine learning systems.
From information gathering to release and maintenance, Machine Learning System Design guides you step-by-step through every stage of the machine learning process. Inside, you’ll find a reliable framework for building, maintaining, and improving machine learning systems at any scale or complexity.
In Machine Learning System With end-to-end examples you will
• The big picture of machine learning system design
• Analyzing a problem space to identify the optimal ML solution
• Ace ML system design interviews
• Selecting appropriate metrics and evaluation criteria
• Prioritizing tasks at different stages of ML system design
• Solving dataset-related problems with data gathering, error analysis, and feature engineering
• Recognizing common pitfalls in ML system development
• Designing ML systems to be lean, maintainable, and extensible over time
Authors Valeri Babushkin and Arseny Kravchenko have filled this unique handbook with campfire stories and personal tips from their own extensive careers. You’ll learn directly from their experience as you consider every facet of a machine learning system, from requirements gathering and data sourcing to deployment and management of the finished system.
About the technology
Designing and delivering a machine learning system is an intricate multistep process that requires many skills and roles. Whether you’re an engineer adding machine learning to an existing application or designing a ML system from the ground up, you need to navigate massive datasets and streams, lock down testing and deployment requirements, and master the unique complexities of putting ML models into production. That’s where this book comes in.
About the book
Machine Learning System Design shows you how to design and deploy a machine learning project from start to finish. You’ll follow a step-by-step framework for designing, implementing, releasing, and maintaining ML systems. As you go, requirement checklists and real-world examples help you prepare to deliver and optimize your own ML systems. You’ll especially love the campfire stories and personal tips, and ML system design interview tips.

I have just finished reading this excellent book by Valerii Babushkin and Arseny Kravchenko, my colleagues from Manning Publishers. I want to share my recommendation with you.
This book will take you on a journey from the initial research, planning, and design phases of machine learning (ML) through all the stages of ML actualization to ML deployment and monitoring. It is replete with end-to-end examples drawn from the author's vast and detailed experience and, as such, contains genuinely actionable examples and advice. If you are involved with any type of ML design and/or development and/or deployment, this book will help you not only achieve your aims but achieve them with confidence and with world-class, robust results going forward.
