Book Description

When equipped with a highly scalable machine learning (ML) platform, organizations can quickly scale the delivery of ML products for faster business value realization. There is a huge demand for skilled ML solutions architects in different industries, and this handbook will help you master the design patterns, architectural considerations, and the latest technology insights you’ll need to become one.

You’ll start by understanding ML fundamentals and how ML can be applied to solve real-world business problems. Once you've explored a few leading problem-solving ML algorithms, this book will help you tackle data management and get the most out of ML libraries such as TensorFlow and PyTorch.

Using open source technology such as Kubernetes/Kubeflow to build a data science environment and ML pipelines will be covered next, before moving on to building an enterprise ML architecture using Amazon Web Services (AWS). You’ll also learn about security and governance considerations, advanced ML engineering techniques, and how to apply bias detection, explainability, and privacy in ML model development.

By the end of this book, you’ll be able to design and build an ML platform to support common use cases and architecture patterns like a true professional.

What you will learn

• Apply ML methodologies to solve business problems
• Design a practical enterprise ML platform architecture
• Implement MLOps for ML workflow automation
• Build an end-to-end data management architecture using AWS
• Train large-scale ML models and optimize model inference latency
• Create a business application using an AI service and a custom ML model
• Use AWS services to detect data and model bias and explain models

Who this book is for

This book is for data scientists, data engineers, cloud architects, and machine learning enthusiasts who want to become machine learning solutions architects. You’ll need basic knowledge of the Python programming language, AWS, linear algebra, probability, and networking concepts before you get started with this handbook.
