Field-tested tips, tricks, and design patterns for building machine learning projects that are deployable, maintainable, and secure from concept to production.
In Machine Learning Engineering in Action, you will learn:
Evaluating data science problems to find the most effective solution
Scoping a machine learning project for usage expectations and budget
Process techniques that minimize wasted effort and speed up production
Assessing a project using standardized prototyping work and statistical validation
Choosing the right technologies and tools for your project
Making your codebase more understandable, maintainable, and testable
Automating your troubleshooting and logging practices
Ferrying a machine learning project from your data science team to your end users is no easy task. Machine Learning Engineering in Action will help you make it simple. Inside, you’ll find fantastic advice from veteran industry expert Ben Wilson, Principal Resident Solutions Architect at Databricks.
Ben introduces his personal toolbox of techniques for building deployable and maintainable production machine learning systems. You’ll learn the importance of Agile methodologies for fast prototyping and conferring with stakeholders, while developing a new appreciation for the importance of planning. Adopting well-established software development standards will help you deliver better code management, and make it easier to test, scale, and even reuse your machine learning code. Every method is explained in a friendly, peer-to-peer style and illustrated with production-ready source code.

Ben Wilson has worked as a professional data scientist for more than ten years. He currently works as a resident solutions architect at Databricks, where he focuses on machine learning production architecture with companies ranging from 5-person startups to global Fortune 100. Ben is the creator and lead developer of the Databricks Labs AutoML project, a Scala-and Python-based toolkit that simplifies machine learning feature engineering, model tuning, and pipeline-enabled modeling.
Machine Learning Engineering in Action is a roadmap to delivering successful machine learning projects. It teaches you to adopt an efficient, sustainable, and goal-driven approach that author Ben Wilson has developed over a decade of data science experience. Every method in this book has been used to solve a breakdown in a real-world project, and is illustrated with production-ready source code and easily reproducible examples.
You'll learn how to plan and scope your project, manage cross-team logistics that avoid fatal communication failures, and design your code's architecture for improved resilience. You'll even discover when not to use machine learning--and the alternative approaches that might be cheaper and more effective. When you're done working through this toolbox guide, you will be able to reliably deliver cost-effective solutions for organizations big and small alike.
