Testing ML Pipelines

Much of today’s machine learning-related content focuses on model training and parameter tuning, but 90% of experimental models never make it to production, mainly because they were not built to last. In this course, you will see how shifting your mindset from a machine learning engineering mindset to an MLOps (Machine Learning Operations) mindset will allow you to train, document, maintain, and scale your models to their fullest potential.

Experiment and Document with Ease
Experimenting with ML models is often enjoyable but can be time-consuming. Here, you will learn how to design reproducible experiments to expedite this process while writing documentation for yourself and your teammates, making future work on the pipeline a breeze.
Build MLOps Models For Production
You will learn best practices for packaging and serializing both models and environments for production to ensure that models will last as long as possible.
Scale Up and Automate your ML Pipelines
By considering model and data complexity and continuous automation, you can ensure that your models will be scaled for production use and can be monitored and deployed in the blink of an eye.

Once you complete this course, you will be able to design and develop machine learning models that are ready for production and continuously improve them over time.
