Part 3 Serverless machine learning pipeline

A machine learning system is more than just a model and a data set. In this part, you will walk through the steps of engineering an entire machine learning pipeline, starting from the steps involved in automation of feature engineering to hyperparameter optimization and experiment management.

In chapter 9, you will explore the use cases around feature selection and feature engineering, learning from case studies to understand the kinds of features that can be created for the DC taxi data set.
In chapter 10, you will adopt a PyTorch framework called PyTorch Lightning to minimize the amount of boilerplate engineering code in your implementation. In addition, you will ensure that you can train, validate, ...

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.
