E-Books →Practical Machine Learning on Databricks Seamlessly transition ML models and MLOps on Databricks

Unleash the potential of databricks for end-to-end machine learning with this comprehensive guide, tailored for experienced data scientists and developers transitioning from DIY or other cloud platforms. Building on a strong foundation in Python, Practical Machine Learning on Databricks serves as your roadmap from development to production, covering all intermediary steps using the databricks platform.
You'll start with an overview of machine learning applications, databricks platform features, and MLflow. Next, you'll dive into data preparation, model selection, and training essentials and discover the power of databricks feature store for precomputing feature tables. You'll also learn to kickstart your projects using databricks AutoML and automate retraining and deployment through databricks workflows.
By the end of this book, you'll have mastered MLflow for experiment tracking, collaboration, and advanced use cases like model interpretability and governance. The book is enriched with hands-on example code at every step. While primarily focused on generally available features, the book equips you to easily adapt to future innovations in machine learning, databricks, and MLflow.What you will learnTransition smoothly from DIY setups to databricksMaster AutoML for quick ML experiment setupAutomate model retraining and deploymentLeverage databricks feature store for data prepUse MLflow for effective experiment trackingGain practical insights for scalable ML solutionsFind out how to handle model drifts in production environmentsWho this book is for
