Overview of this book

Debugging Machine Learning Models with Python is a comprehensive guide that navigates you through the entire spectrum of mastering machine learning, from foundational concepts to advanced techniques. It goes beyond the basics to arm you with the expertise essential for building reliable, high-performance models for industrial applications. Whether you're a data scientist, analyst, machine learning engineer, or Python developer, this book will empower you to design modular systems for data preparation, accurately train and test models, and seamlessly integrate them into larger technologies. By bridging the gap between theory and practice, you'll learn how to evaluate model performance, identify and address issues, and harness recent advancements in deep learning and generative modeling using PyTorch and scikit-learn. Your journey to developing high quality models in practice will also encompass causal and human-in-the-loop modeling and machine learning explainability. With hands-on examples and clear explanations, you'll develop the skills to deliver impactful solutions across domains such as healthcare, finance, and e-commerce.

Beyond Code Debugging

Artificial intelligence (AI), like human intelligence, is a capability and tool that can be used for decision-making and task accomplishment. As humans, we use our intelligence in making our daily decisions and thinking about the challenges and problems we deal with. We use our brains and central nervous systems to receive information from our surroundings and process them for decision-making and reactions.

Machine learning models are the AI techniques that are used nowadays to tackle problems across healthcare and finance. Machine learning models have been used in robotic systems in manufacturing facilities to package products or identify products that might have been damaged. They have been used in our smartphones to identify our faces for security purposes, by e-commerce companies to suggest the most suited products or movies to us, and even for improving healthcare and drug development to bring new more effective drugs onto the market for severe diseases.

In this chapter, we will provide a quick review of different types of machine learning modeling. You will learn about different techniques and challenges in debugging your machine learning code. We will also discuss why debugging machine learning modeling goes far beyond just code debugging.

We will cover the following topics in this chapter:

  • Machine learning at a glance
  • Types of machine learning modeling
  • Debugging in software development
  • Flaws in data used for modeling
  • Model and prediction-centric debugging

This chapter is an introduction to this book to prepare you for more advanced concepts that will be presented later. This will help you improve your models and move toward becoming an expert in the machine learning era.
