ML System Design is a new area in machine learning that deserves to become a separate discipline. While there are plenty of books and courses that cover specific aspects of machine learning, there is scarce literature on the overall landscape of ML system design. Even among highly experienced ML practitioners, there’s a lack of a holistic perspective. Join other specialists seeking to level out these knowledge gaps, and learn directly from two experts in ML and data science with over 20 years of combined experience. This course introduces machine learning system design as a unified pool of knowledge. We’ve developed a comprehensive framework covering all fundamental aspects of ML system design, and we’ll provide step-by-step guidelines and insights helpful to both novices and experts. Course highlights: — 60+ lessons on ML system design, including interactive sessions and practical advice.— Two use cases with real-life scenarios.— Stories of wins and failures from our personal experiences.— Live Q&amp;A sessions to help you synthesize and apply the course material. You’ll develop:&nbsp; — A comprehensive knowledge of designing, training, deploying, and maintaining ML systems.— The ability to confidently implement what you have learned in a real-world environment.— Hands-on experience that can be shared with colleagues.

This course is for:

What you’ll get out of this course

You will increase overall awareness of the problem your system needs to solve and define the required steps before system development has started.

A better understanding of your system’s problem space and solution space

You will learn more about the importance of picking the right metrics and loss functions, assembling a healthy data pipeline, combining various validation techniques, and preparing the earliest viable version of your future model.&nbsp;

Deeper knowledge of the early-stage work of developing an ML system

You will strengthen your skills in conducting error analysis, training your pipelines, engineering and evaluating feature sets for your model, and handling testing to evaluate the performance of your system.

Skills to shape your system into a solid, accurate, and reliable solution

You will discover the key practices of integrating your solution into the existing ecosystem, the nuances of model monitoring, the challenges of deployment optimization, and the importance of proper maintenance to make your system reliable, manageable, and future-proof.

Guidance for securing smooth integration and sustainable growth
