Purchase of the print or Kindle book includes a free PDF eBookKey Features

• Go in-depth into the ML lifecycle, from ideation and data management to deployment and scaling
• Apply risk management techniques in the ML lifecycle and design architectural patterns for various ML platforms and solutions
• Understand the generative AI lifecycle, its core technologies, and implementation risks

Book Description
David Ping, Head of GenAI and ML Solution Architecture for global industries at AWS, provides expert insights and practical examples to help you become a proficient ML solutions architect, linking technical architecture to business-related skills.
You'll learn about ML algorithms, cloud infrastructure, system design, MLOps, and how to apply ML to solve real-world business problems. David explains the generative AI project lifecycle and examines Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG), an effective architecture pattern for generative AI applications. You'll also learn about open-source technologies, such as Kubernetes/Kubeflow, for building a data science environment and ML pipelines before building an enterprise ML architecture using AWS. As well as ML risk management and the different stages of AI/ML adoption, the biggest new addition to the handbook is the deep exploration of generative AI.
By the end of this book, you'll have gained a comprehensive understanding of AI/ML across all key aspects, including business use cases, data science, real-world solution architecture, risk management, and governance. You'll possess the skills to design and construct ML solutions that effectively cater to common use cases and follow established ML architecture patterns, enabling you to excel as a true professional in the field.What you will learn

• Apply ML methodologies to solve business problems across industries
• Design a practical enterprise ML platform architecture
• Gain an understanding of AI risk management frameworks and techniques
• Build an end-to-end data management architecture using AWS
