The Pragmatic Programmer for Machine Learning: Engineering Analytics and Data Science Solutions

Machine learning has redefined the way we work with data and is increasingly becoming an indispensable part of everyday life. This book discusses how modern software engineering practices are part of this revolution both conceptually and in practical applications. Comprising a broad overview of how to design machine learning pipelines as well as the state-of-the-art tools we use to make them, this book provides a multi-disciplinary view of how traditional software engineering can be adapted to and integrated with the workflows of domain experts and probabilistic models. From choosing the right hardware to designing effective pipeline architectures and adopting software development best practices, this guide will appeal to machine learning and data science specialists, whilst also laying out key high-level principles in a way that is approachable for students of computer science and aspiring programmers.
