10.3 Designing Machine Learning Systems

In this lecture, we learned about the comprehensive process of designing machine learning systems, starting with understanding the requirements. We referenced the importance of outlining business, user, and performance requirements to guide the structure of the system. We also discussed how to formulate machine learning problems based on these requirements, determining whether machine learning is necessary, defining the model’s inputs and outputs, and choosing the type of model to use.

Lastly, we discussed the need to monitor and maintain the deployed model, ensuring it remains accurate and can be improved upon, under considerations like data drift, increasing accuracy, or reducing latency.

Additional resources if you want to learn more

Unfortunately, we can’t cover these topics in more depth as each of them would be a course in itself. However, if you are interested in additional references, I can recommend Chip Huyen’s book on Designing Machine Learnign Systems, for example.
