Overview of this book

Social networking sites see an average of 350 million uploads daily - a quantity impossible for humans to scan and analyze. Only AI can do this job at the required speed, and to leverage an AI application at its full potential, you need an efficient and scalable data storage pipeline. The Artificial Intelligence Infrastructure Workshop will teach you how to build and manage one. The Artificial Intelligence Infrastructure Workshop begins taking you through some real-world applications of AI. You’ll explore the layers of a data lake and get to grips with security, scalability, and maintainability. With the help of hands-on exercises, you’ll learn how to define the requirements for AI applications in your organization. This AI book will show you how to select a database for your system and run common queries on databases such as MySQL, MongoDB, and Cassandra. You’ll also design your own AI trading system to get a feel of the pipeline-based architecture. As you learn to implement a deep Q-learning algorithm to play the CartPole game, you’ll gain hands-on experience with PyTorch. Finally, you’ll explore ways to run machine learning models in production as part of an AI application. By the end of the book, you’ll have learned how to build and deploy your own AI software at scale, using various tools, API frameworks, and serialization methods.

Summary

In this chapter, we gained a high-level overview of what machine learning can be used for, starting with image processing, text processing, audio processing, and time series analysis examples. This was followed by a deeper dive into text classification where we built a text classifier to identify clickbait headlines. We then looked at how to scale AI systems, looking at different kinds of hardware and cost-optimization techniques. By using vectorized operations, we were able to gain hands-on experience with optimization. Finally, we shored up our text-classification skills by building a second text classifier to differentiate between positive and negative movie reviews.

In the next chapter, we will explore ways to store large amounts of data for AI systems, looking specifically at data warehouses and data lakes.
