Book Description
Guide machine learning projects from design to production with the techniques in this unique project management guide. No ML skills required!
In Managing Machine Learning Projects you’ll learn essential machine learning project management techniques, including:
Understanding an ML project’s requirements
Setting up the infrastructure for the project and resourcing a team
Working with clients and other stakeholders
Dealing with data resources and bringing them into the project for use
Handling the lifecycle of models in the project
Managing the application of ML algorithms
Evaluating the performance of algorithms and models
Making decisions about which models to adopt for delivery
Taking models through development and testing
Integrating models with production systems to create effective applications
Steps and behaviors for managing the ethical implications of ML technology
Managing Machine Learning Projects is an end-to-end guide for delivering machine learning applications on time and under budget. It lays out tools, approaches, and processes designed to handle the unique challenges of machine learning project management. You’ll follow an in-depth case study through a series of sprints and see how to put each technique into practice. The book’s strong consideration to data privacy, and community impact ensure your projects are ethical, compliant with global legislation, and avoid being exposed to failure from bias and other issues.
Purchase of the print book includes a free eBook in PDF, Kindle, and ePub formats from Manning Publications.
About the Technology
Ferrying machine learning projects to production often feels like navigating uncharted waters. From accounting for large data resources to tracking and evaluating multiple models, machine learning technology has radically different requirements than traditional software. Never fear! This book lays out the unique practices you’ll need to ensure your projects succeed.
About the Book
Managing Machine Learning Projects is an amazing source of battle-tested techniques for effective delivery of real-life machine learning solutions. The book is laid out across a series of sprints that take you from a project proposal all the way to deployment into production. You’ll learn how to plan essential infrastructure, coordinate experimentation, protect sensitive data, and reliably measure model performance. Many ML projects fail to create real value—read this book to make sure your project is a success.
What’s Inside
Set up infrastructure and resource a team
Bring data resources into a project
Accurately estimate time and effort
Evaluate which models to adopt for delivery
Integrate models into effective applications
About the Reader
For anyone interested in better management of machine learning projects. No technical skills required.
