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.

Streaming Data

This chapter so far has explored data preparation methods for batch-driven ETL. You have learned the steps and techniques to get raw data from a source system, transform it into a historical archive, create an analytics layer, and finally do feature engineering and data splitting. We'll now make a switch to streaming data. Many of the concepts you have learned for batch processing are also relevant for stream processing; however, things (data) move a bit more quickly and timing becomes important.

When preparing streaming event data for analytics, for example, to be used in a model, some specific mechanisms come into play. Essentially, a data stream goes through the same steps as raw batch data: it has to be loaded, modeled, cleaned, and filtered. However, a data stream has no beginning and ending, and time is always important; therefore, the following patterns and practices need to be applied:

  • Windows
  • Event time
  • Watermarks
