Overview of this book

AI-Assisted Programming for Web and Machine Learning shows you how to build applications and machine learning models and automate repetitive tasks. Part 1 focuses on coding, from building a user interface to the backend. You’ll use prompts to create the appearance of an app using HTML, styling with CSS, adding behavior with JavaScript, and working with multiple viewports. Next, you’ll build a web API with Python and Flask and refactor the code to improve code readability. Part 1 ends with using GitHub Copilot to improve the maintainability and performance of existing code. Part 2 provides a prompting toolkit for data science from data checking (inspecting data and creating distribution graphs and correlation matrices) to building and optimizing a neural network. You’ll use different prompt strategies for data preprocessing, feature engineering, model selection, training, hyperparameter optimization, and model evaluation for various machine learning models and use cases. The book closes with chapters on advanced techniques on GitHub Copilot and software agents. There are tips on code generation, debugging, and troubleshooting code. You’ll see how simpler and AI-powered agents work and discover tool calling.

Feature breakdown

Looking at this from a feature standpoint, we need to see this as consisting of three major parts.

  • Data ingestion and training: this needs a separate interface, maybe it’s done without a user interface and it’s just static data being fed into code capable of training a model from it. With that understanding, we can outline the steps like so:
    • Load data
    • Clean data
    • Create features
    • Train model
    • Evaluate model
    • Run predictions
  • Consuming the model: Once the model is trained, it needs to be exposed, preferably through a web endpoint. To get there, we think we need these set of steps:
    • Convert the model to suitable format if needed
    • Build a Web API
    • Expose model through Web API
    • Deploy model, there’s a step here where we need to bring the API online
  • Prediction: For the prediction part, this is a functionality...
