Agile Machine Learning with DataRobot

By: Bipin Chadha, Sylvester Juwe

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.

Summary

In this chapter, we covered some of the basic machine learning concepts that will come in handy as we go through the remaining chapters, and they will also be useful in your data science journey. Please note that we have only covered concepts at a high level, and depending on your job role, you might want to explore some areas in more detail. We have also related this material to how DataRobot performs certain functions and where you need to pay closer attention.

Hopefully, this has given you some insights into what DataRobot will be displaying and where to focus your attention in different stages of your project. Since DataRobot automates a good chunk of model building and prediction tasks, it might be tempting to ignore many of the outputs that DataRobot is automatically producing for you. Please resist that temptation. DataRobot software is taking considerable pains and resources to produce those outputs for a very good reason. It is also doing much of the grunt work...
