Course Overview

This course will give you hands-on experience optimizing, deploying, and scaling a variety of production ML models. You’ll learn how to build scalable, accurate, and production-ready models for structured data, image data, time-series, and natural language text, along with recommendation systems.

Course Objectives

  • Implement the various flavors of production ML systems—static, dynamic, and continuous training; static and dynamic inference; and batch and online processing
  • Solve an ML problem by building an end-to-end pipeline, going from data exploration, preprocessing, feature engineering, model building, hyperparameter tuning, deployment, and serving
  • Develop a range of image classification models from simple linear models to high-performing convolutional neural networks (CNNs) with batch normalization, augmentation, and transfer learning
  • Forecast time-series values using CNNs, recurrent neural networks (RNNs), and LSTMs
  • Apply ML to natural language text using CNNs, RNNs, LSTMs, reusable word embeddings, and encoder-decoder generative models
  • Implement content-based, collaborative, hybrid, and neural recommendation models in TensorFlow
