Course Description

Machine Learning in Production

In this Machine Learning in Production course, you will build intuition about designing a production ML system end-to-end: project scoping, data needs, modeling strategies, and deployment patterns and technologies. You will learn strategies for addressing common challenges in production like establishing a model baseline, addressing concept drift, and performing error analysis. You’ll follow a framework for developing, deploying, and continuously improving a productionized ML application.

Understanding machine learning and deep learning concepts is essential, but if you’re looking to build an effective AI career, you need experience preparing your projects for deployment as well. Machine learning engineering for production combines the foundational concepts of machine learning with the skills and best practices of modern software development necessary to successfully deploy and maintain ML systems in real-world environments.
