Appendix B. Machine Learning Project Checklist

This checklist can guide you through your Machine Learning projects. There are eight main steps:

Frame the problem and look at the big picture.
Get the data.
Explore the data to gain insights.
Prepare the data to better expose the underlying data patterns to Machine Learning algorithms.
Explore many different models and shortlist the best ones.
Fine-tune your models and combine them into a great solution.
Present your solution.
Launch, monitor, and maintain your system.

Obviously, you should feel free to adapt this checklist to your needs.

Frame the Problem and Look at the Big Picture

Define the objective in business terms.
How will your solution be used?
What are the current solutions/workarounds (if any)?
How should you frame this problem (supervised/unsupervised, online/offline, etc.)?
How should performance be measured?
Is the performance measure aligned with the business objective?
What would be the minimum performance needed to reach the business objective?
What are comparable problems? Can you reuse experience or tools?
Is human expertise available?
How would you solve the problem manually?
List the assumptions you (or others) have made so far.
Verify assumptions if possible.

Get the Data

Note: automate as much as possible so you can easily get fresh data.

List the data you need and how much you need.
Find and document where you can get that data.
Check how much space it ...

O’Reilly covers everything we've got, with content to help us build a world-class technology community, upgrade the capabilities and competencies of our teams, and improve overall team performance as well as their engagement.

Julian F.

Head of Cybersecurity

I wanted to learn C and C++, but it didn't click for me until I picked up an O'Reilly book. When I went on the O’Reilly platform, I was astonished to find all the books there, plus live events and sandboxes so you could play around with the technology.

Addison B.

Field Engineer

I’ve been on the O’Reilly platform for more than eight years. I use a couple of learning platforms, but I'm on O'Reilly more than anybody else. When you're there, you start learning. I'm never disappointed.

Amir M.

Data Platform Tech Lead

I'm always learning. So when I got on to O'Reilly, I was like a kid in a candy store. There are playlists. There are answers. There's on-demand training. It's worth its weight in gold, in terms of what it allows me to do.
