Ebook: Machine Learning Engineering with Python

Transform your machine learning projects into successful deployments with this practical guide on how to build and scale solutions that solve real-world problems
Includes a new chapter on generative AI and large language models (LLMs) and building a pipeline that leverages LLMs using LangChain

Key Features
This second edition delves deeper into key machine learning topics, CI/CD, and system design
Explore core MLOps practices, such as model management and performance monitoring
Build end-to-end examples of deployable ML microservices and pipelines using AWS and open-source tools

Book Description
The Second Edition of Machine Learning Engineering with Python is the practical guide that MLOps and ML engineers need to build solutions to real-world problems. It will provide you with the skills you need to stay ahead in this rapidly evolving field.

The book takes an examples-based approach to help you develop your skills and covers the technical concepts, implementation patterns, and development methodologies you need. You'll explore the key steps of the ML development lifecycle and create your own standardized "model factory" for training and retraining of models. You'll learn to employ concepts like CI/CD and how to detect different types of drift.

Get hands-on with the latest in deployment architectures and discover methods for scaling up your solutions. This edition goes deeper in all aspects of ML engineering and MLOps, with emphasis on the latest open-source and cloud-based technologies. This includes a completely revamped approach to advanced pipelining and orchestration techniques.

With a new chapter on deep learning, generative AI, and LLMOps, you will learn to use tools like LangChain, PyTorch, and Hugging Face to leverage LLMs for supercharged analysis. You will explore AI assistants like GitHub Copilot to become more productive, then dive deep into the engineering considerations of working with deep learning.
