Description

Putting together an ML production pipeline for training, deploying, and maintaining ML and deep learning applications is much more than just training a model. Google has taken years of experience in developing production ML pipelines and offered the open source community TensorFlow Extended (TFX), an open source version of tools and libraries that Google uses internally.

Robert Crowe outlines what’s involved in creating a production ML pipeline and walks you through working code.
