Design Machine Learning

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.

A collection of shockingly prescient stories covering topics from aliens to AI, including some that have never before been seen, from the New York Times bestselling author of the Silo trilogy Hugh Howey is known for crafting riveting and immersive page-turners of boundless imagination, spawning...

Inside this book, readers will learn how to: Apply a five-question framework before writing a single line of architecture — identifying what decision the system supports, who consumes its output, how fresh that output must be, what a wrong output costs, and what the system does when it is unavailable Design the data layer for ML workloads from first principles — covering data contracts, schema versioning, lineage tracking, and the boundary discipline that prevents the silent cross-team failures most ML incidents trace back to Build feature engineering pipelines with point-in-time ...

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, ...

Behind every generated answer, image, voice, video, or synthetic experience is an architecture that determines what the system can understand, how it processes information, and what it can produce. Generative AI models are often discussed as though they were one technology. In practice, foundation models, transformers, diffusion systems, and multimodal models rely on different structures, training objectives, information flows, and generation processes. Understanding these differences is essential for evaluating modern AI systems without treating them as mysterious black boxes. Generative ...

AI is everywhere at work. Judgment is still scarce. Artificial intelligence is moving from a specialist technology into the everyday operating environment of business. The professionals who benefit most will not necessarily be the people who know the most model names or collect the most prompts. They will be the people who understand where AI belongs, how it works, how much to trust it, and when human judgment must remain in control. AI Working Knowledge is a practical, vendor-neutral guide for managers, founders, analysts, operators, project leaders, consultants, and professionals who need...

This program includes material read by the authors. In User Friendly, Cliff Kuang and Robert Fabricant reveal the untold story of a paradigm that quietly rules our modern lives: the assumption that machines should anticipate what we need. Spanning over a century of sweeping changes, from...

Your search box can find documents. It cannot answer questions. Somewhere in your organization there is a question no single passage contains: “Which form does this process need, and who signs it?” — “How many products share this component?” — “What changed since yesterday?” Classic RAG fails on all of them — and it fails quietly, with answers that sound confident and are wrong. GraphRAG is the engineering discipline that fixes this — and this book teaches it end to end: not as theory, but as a complete, measurable method you can defend in front of your team. What you ...

The gap between a working artificial intelligence demo and a production-grade enterprise system is not a gap in model quality. It is a fundamental architectural gap. Foundation models are remarkably capable, but a demo that runs in a conference room without latency constraints, compliance postures, or tenant isolation requirements will fail under the weight of real-world demands. Every enterprise deployment that is more than a simple wrapper is a complex retrieval pipeline, an inference fleet, an integration mesh, and a continuous data lifecycle problem operating simultaneously. Inside this...
