- Data scientists
- Machine learning engineers
MLflow is an open source platform for streamlining and managing the machine learning lifecycle. It supports any ML (machine learning) library, algorithm, deployment tool or language. Simply add MLflow to your existing ML code to share the code across any ML library being used within your organization.
This instructor-led, live training (online or onsite) is aimed at data scientists who wish to go beyond building ML models and optimize the ML model creation, tracking, and deployment process.
By the end of this training, participants will be able to:
- Install and configure MLflow and related ML libraries and frameworks.
- Appreciate the importance of trackability, reproducability and deployability of an ML model
- Deploy ML models to different public clouds, platforms, or on-premise servers.
- Scale the ML deployment process to accommodate multiple users collaborating on a project.
- Set up a central registry to experiment with, reproduce, and deploy ML models.
Format of the Course
- Interactive lecture and discussion.
- Lots of exercises and practice.
- Hands-on implementation in a live-lab environment.
Course Customization Options
