Python Machine Learning Cookbook - Second Edition

By: Giuseppe Ciaburro, Prateek Joshi

Overview of this book

This eagerly anticipated second edition of the popular Python Machine Learning Cookbook will enable you to adopt a fresh approach to dealing with real-world machine learning and deep learning tasks. With the help of over 100 recipes, you will learn to build powerful machine learning applications using modern libraries from the Python ecosystem. The book will also guide you on how to implement various machine learning algorithms for classification, clustering, and recommendation engines, using a recipe-based approach. With emphasis on practical solutions, dedicated sections in the book will help you to apply supervised and unsupervised learning techniques to real-world problems. Toward the concluding chapters, you will get to grips with recipes that teach you advanced techniques including reinforcement learning, deep neural networks, and automated machine learning. By the end of this book, you will be equipped with the skills you need to apply machine learning techniques and leverage the full capabilities of the Python ecosystem through real-world examples.

Keeping track of changes into production

The distribution of the model is not the end—it's only the beginning. The real problems start from here. We have no control over the data in the real environment. Changes may occur and we must be ready to detect and update our model before it becomes obsolete. Monitoring is important to ensure the reliability, availability, and performance of our machine learning application. In this recipe, we will discuss some tools that we can use to keep track of changes that occur in the model.

How to do it...

The following tools are available to monitor an Amazon SageMaker application:
