Machine Learning Design Patterns: Solutions to Common Challenges in Data Preparation, Model Building, and MLOp

Описание Machine Learning Design Patterns: Solutions to Common Challenges in Data Preparation, Model Building, and MLOp

The design patterns in this book capture best practices and solutions to recurring problems in machine learning. The authors, three Google engineers, catalog proven methods to help data scientists tackle common problems throughout the ML process. These design patterns codify the experience of hundreds of experts into straightforward, approachable advice.
