Skills you'll learn:
Prerequisites:
Course 1 • 45 minutes
Welcome to Udacity! We're excited to share more about your nanodegree and start this journey with you! In this course, you will learn more about the pre-requisites, structure of the program, and getting started!
Lesson 1
Welcome! We're so glad you're here. Join us in learning a bit more about what to expect and ways to succeed.
Lesson 2
You are starting a challenging but rewarding journey! Take 5 minutes to read how to get help with projects and content.
Course 2 • 3 weeks
Develop skills that are essential for deploying production machine learning models. First, you will put your coding best practices on auto-pilot by learning how to use PyLint and AutoPEP8. Then you will further expand your git and Github skills to work with teams. Finally, you will learn best practices associated with testing and logging used in production settings in order to ensure your models can stand the test of time.
Lesson 1
Get introduced to clean code principles, why and when to use them, and the history of clean code. Then, see what you'll be able to build by the end of the course!
Lesson 2
Learn coding best practices, such as clean and modular code, code efficiency, refactoring, documentation, and linting.
Lesson 3
Version control is crucial for any coding project, but becomes even more important when working in teams. Another new area in working with teams is the code review, which you'll also learn about here.
Lesson 4
Find more coding best practices here, such as handling errors, testing and logging, as well as addressing model drift in machine learning models.
Lesson 5 • Project
Take a colleague's messy juypter notebook for building a customer churn prediction model and implement all of the clean code principles you have learned throughout the course!
Course 3 • 4 weeks
This course empowers the students to be more efficient, effective, and productive in modern, real-world ML projects by adopting best practices around reproducible workflows. In particular, it teaches the fundamentals of MLops and how to: a) create a clean, organized, reproducible, end-to-end machine learning pipeline from scratch using MLflow b) clean and validate the data using pytest c) track experiments, code, and results using GitHub and Weights & Biases d) select the best-performing model for production and e) deploy a model using MLflow. Along the way, it also touches on other technologies like Kubernetes, Kubeflow, and Great Expectations and how they relate to the content of the class.
Lesson 1
Dive into reproducible model workflows and machine learning operations, learning about use cases, its history, and what you'll build at the end of the course.
Lesson 2
Build out machine learning pipelines, as well as learning how to version data and model artifacts.
Lesson 3
Come up with re-usable processes for performing exploratory data analysis (EDA), cleaning and pre-processing data, and segregating/splitting data.
Lesson 4
Validate data through deterministic and non-deterministic testing, and look at handling different parameters with PyTest.
Lesson 5
Write an inference pipeline, validate and choose your best performing models from experiments, and test your final model artifacts.
Lesson 6
Write a full end-to-end pipeline, release the pipeline, and deploy with MLflow.
Lesson 7 • Project
Create a re-usable end-to-end pipeline for predicting short-term rental prices in New York City!
Course 4 • 2 weeks
This course teaches students how to robustly deploy a machine learning model into production. En route to that goal students will learn how to put the finishing touches on a model by taking a fine grained approach to model performance, checking bias, and ultimately writing a model card. Students will also learn how to version control their data and models using Data Version Control (DVC). The last piece in preparation for deployment will be learning Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment which will be accomplished using GitHub Actions and Heroku, respectively. Finally, students will learn how to write a fast, type-checked, and auto-documented API using FastAPI.
Lesson 1
We'll introduce you to the course concepts of operationalizing our model, focusing on the ecosystem surrounding that model to successfully deploy it, and easily maintain it in production.
Lesson 2
In this lesson, we will cover performance testing and preparing a model for production.
Lesson 3
In this lesson, we will review git and then delve into Data Version Control (DVC) and the concepts of data provenance.
Lesson 4
We cover the software engineering principles of automation, testing, and versioning. We put these into action using Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery with Heroku and Github Actions.
Lesson 5
Delve into FastAPI which leverages type hints to build a robust and self-documenting REST API. First, build out our API locally, test it, and the deploy to Heroku where you'll test it again live.
