Overview of this book

DataRobot enables data science teams to become more efficient and productive. This book helps you to address machine learning (ML) challenges with DataRobot's enterprise platform, enabling you to extract business value from data and rapidly create commercial impact for your organization. You'll begin by learning how to use DataRobot's features to perform data prep and cleansing tasks automatically. The book then covers best practices for building and deploying ML models, along with challenges faced while scaling them to handle complex business problems. Moving on, you'll perform exploratory data analysis (EDA) tasks to prepare your data to build ML models and ways to interpret results. You'll also discover how to analyze the model's predictions and turn them into actionable insights for business users. Next, you'll create model documentation for internal as well as compliance purposes and learn how the model gets deployed as an API. In addition, you'll find out how to operationalize and monitor the model's performance. Finally, you'll work with examples on time series forecasting, NLP, image processing, MLOps, and more using advanced DataRobot capabilities. By the end of this book, you'll have learned to use DataRobot's AutoML and MLOps features to scale ML model building by avoiding repetitive tasks and common errors.

Technical requirements

Some parts of this chapter require access to the DataRobot software and some tools for data manipulation. Most of the examples deal with small datasets and therefore can be handled via Excel. The dataset that we will be using in this chapter is described next.

Appliances energy prediction dataset

This dataset can be accessed at the University of California Irvine (UCI) Machine Learning Repository (https://archive.ics.uci.edu/ml/datasets/Appliances+energy+prediction#).
