Machine Learning Systems

Machine learning systems are both complex and unique. Complex because they consist of many different components and involve many different stakeholders. Unique because they're data dependent, with data varying wildly from one use case to the next. In this book, you'll learn a holistic approach to designing ML systems that are reliable, scalable, maintainable, and adaptive to changing environments and business requirements. Author Chip Huyen, cofounder of Claypot AI, considers each design decision in the context of how it can help your system as a whole achieve its objectives.

Machine learning has matured—but most books still treat it as a collection of models rather than a system that must survive real-world use. In practice, machine learning fails not because of weak algorithms, but because of poor problem framing, fragile data pipelines, misleading evaluation, and neglected feedback loops. Models that look impressive in notebooks often break quietly in production. Metrics drift. Assumptions decay. Decisions made early become constraints years later. Machine Learning Systems for the AI Era is written for practitioners who want to move beyond training models ...

You didn’t save time, you just started managing AI. You try to get AI to do something. You write a prompt, expecting it to handle the task. It gives you an answer… but it’s not really what you wanted. So you tweak it. Add a bit more detail. Try again. Now there’s another issue. Something still feels off. So you adjust it again. Rewrite parts of it. Clarify what you meant. And it keeps going like this. Each time, you get a little closer… but never quite there. So you step in again—guiding it, correcting it, fixing it. Before long, you’re constantly tweaking and micromanaging ...

The integration of Machine Learning (ML) in HVAC is transforming the way heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems operate. Traditional HVAC systems have long relied on fixed schedules, static control algorithms, and reactive maintenance strategies. However, with the advancement of artificial intelligence (AI), IoT sensors, and big data analytics, HVAC systems can now optimize performance, improve energy efficiency, and predict failures before they occur. This book explores how machine learning is revolutionizing HVAC, from predictive maintenance and smart controls to fault ...

Most production ML failures are data engineering failures: a feature pipeline that drifted overnight, a schema that changed without notice and corrupted a backfill, an ingestion job that silently dropped records during peak inference. For the architects and engineers who own those systems, the cost is measured in degraded models, missed SLOs, and postmortems that circle back to the same root cause: the data infrastructure was not designed to hold production conditions. Inside this book, readers will learn how to: Design durable schemas: Build feature schemas with explicit nullability, ...

Machine learning and deep learning are changing technology as we know it. Critical infrastructure decisions are now driven by fine-tuned algorithms trained with huge data sets. In this guide, you're going to be handed all the information and tools you need to transform data into powerful insights.

Artificial Intelligence is transforming every industry. But most organizations are deploying AI faster than they can secure it. From prompt injection and model poisoning to RAG vulnerabilities, agentic AI risks, supply chain attacks, and AI governance challenges, modern AI systems introduce an entirely new security landscape that traditional cybersecurity practices were never designed to address. The question is no longer whether your organization will use AI. The question is whether your AI systems can be trusted. In Securing AI, Ethan Vale provides a practical and comprehensive guide to ...
