Overview of this book

MLflow is a platform for the machine learning life cycle that enables structured development and iteration of machine learning models and a seamless transition into scalable production environments. This book will take you through the different features of MLflow and how you can implement them in your ML project. You will begin by framing an ML problem and then transform your solution with MLflow, adding a workbench environment, training infrastructure, data management, model management, experimentation, and state-of-the-art ML deployment techniques on the cloud and premises. The book also explores techniques to scale up your workflow as well as performance monitoring techniques. As you progress, you’ll discover how to create an operational dashboard to manage machine learning systems. Later, you will learn how you can use MLflow in the AutoML, anomaly detection, and deep learning context with the help of use cases. In addition to this, you will understand how to use machine learning platforms for local development as well as for cloud and managed environments. This book will also show you how to use MLflow in non-Python-based languages such as R and Java, along with covering approaches to extend MLflow with Plugins. By the end of this machine learning book, you will be able to produce and deploy reliable machine learning algorithms using MLflow in multiple environments.

Summary

In this chapter, we introduced the machine learning problem framing approach, and explored some of the motivation behind adopting this framework.

We introduced the stock market prediction machine learning platform and our initial set of prediction problems using the ML problem framing methodology.

We briefly introduced in this chapter the use case of a stock market prediction basic pipeline that will be used in the rest of the book. 

In the next chapter, we will focus on creating a data science development environment with MLflow using the definitions of the problem made in this chapter.
