A Step-By-Step Guide On Deploying A Machine Learning Model
One the key ways that a data scientist can provide value to a startup is by building data products that can be used to improve products. Making the shift from model training to model deployment means learning a whole new set of tools for building production systems. Instead of just outputting a report or a specification of a model, productizing a model means that a data science … [Read more...] about A Step-By-Step Guide On Deploying A Machine Learning Model

What’s State Of The Art In AutoML in 2019?
More and more industries and organizations are leveraging artificial intelligence to delight customers and cut through the competition. However, development and deployment of deep learning models is time-consuming and costly - often prohibitively costly. That’s when automated machine learning (AutoML) comes into play. AutoML solutions can significantly increase the efficiency … [Read more...] about What’s State Of The Art In AutoML in 2019?
Comparing Machine Learning as a Service: Amazon, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud AI, IBM Watson
For most businesses, machine learning seems close to rocket science, appearing expensive and talent demanding. And, if you’re aiming at building another Netflix recommendation system, it really is. But the trend of making everything-as-a-service has affected this sophisticated sphere, too. You can jump-start an ML initiative without much investment, which would be the right … [Read more...] about Comparing Machine Learning as a Service: Amazon, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud AI, IBM Watson
4 Common Pitfalls In Putting A Machine Learning Model In Production
I spoke at a conference recently and one of the talks really resonated with me. It revolved around hosting, securing, and productionizing machine learning models. The speaker asked the audience, “Who in this room has developed a machine learning or artificial intelligence model for their business?” Being a technology conference, 80–90% of the hands shot up. “Now,” he … [Read more...] about 4 Common Pitfalls In Putting A Machine Learning Model In Production
How To Crowdsource Labeled Datasets Quickly With Open-Source Tools Like Snorkel
Getting sufficient amounts of labeled training data is a major bottleneck for many machine learning (ML) projects. You can create fancy models but they will be of little value if domain experts need to spend years labeling the relevant dataset. That is particularly relevant in areas where high expertise is required from data labelers, like, for example, in medical applications … [Read more...] about How To Crowdsource Labeled Datasets Quickly With Open-Source Tools Like Snorkel
How Airbnb Solves Enterprise-Scale Data Challenges For Machine Learning
Traditional data warehouses are built for Business Intelligence analytics, CEO Dashboards, and other types of business reporting prepared for “human consumption.” That often implies that data in these warehouses is not ready for “machine consumption,” including machine learning (ML) models. For example, it is mostly sufficient for humans to know the date of a particular event, … [Read more...] about How Airbnb Solves Enterprise-Scale Data Challenges For Machine Learning
Solving Data Challenges In Machine Learning With Automated Tools
Data is the lifeblood of machine learning (ML) projects. At the same time, the data preparation process is one of the main challenges that plague most projects. According to a recent study, data preparation tasks take more than 80% of the time spent on ML projects. Data scientists spend most of their time on data cleaning (25%), labeling (25%), augmentation (15%), aggregation … [Read more...] about Solving Data Challenges In Machine Learning With Automated Tools
