Managing ML Projects shows you how to manage an ML project as it progresses
from an idea to a production-ready implementation. The course covers the
ML development phases and the roles and skills
typically found on ML teams. It discusses strategies for working with
stakeholders and provides details on how to plan and manage an ML project
at each phase of development.
By demystifying the complexities inherent in ML projects, the course
provides a solid theoretical framework for managing ML projects.
The course focuses on traditional ML models. Although generative AI is in the
spotlight, traditional ML plays a vital role at Google, underpinning many
services and projects, from predicting travel times in Maps to estimating the
price of airline tickets in Flights, from predicting compute quota for Google
Cloud customers to recommending relevant videos in YouTube.
In general, the principles for managing traditional ML projects are identical
for managing generative AI projects. When there's a significant difference, the
course provides relevant generative AI advice and guidance.
You should first verify that ML is the right approach for your problem.
