Machine Learning Systems Design

This project-based course covers the iterative process for designing, developing, and deploying machine learning systems. It focuses on systems that require massive datasets and compute resources, such as large neural networks. Students will learn about data management, data engineering, approaches to model selection, training, scaling, how to continually monitor and deploy changes to ML systems, as well as the human side of ML projects. In the process, students will learn about important issues including privacy, fairness, and security. Pre-requisites: At least one of the following; CS229, CS230, CS231N, CS224N or equivalent. Students should have a good understanding of machine learning algorithms and should be familiar with at least one framework such as TensorFlow, PyTorch, JAX.
