From the author of a world bestseller published in eleven languages, The Hundred-Page Machine Learning Book , this new book by Andriy Burkov is the most complete applied AI book out there. It is filled with best practices and design patterns of building reliable machine learning solutions that scale. Andriy Burkov has a Ph.D. in AI and is the leader of a machine learning team at Gartner. This book is based on Andriy's own 15 years of experience in solving problems with AI as well as on the published experience of the industry leaders. Here's what Cassie Kozyrkov, Chief Decision Scientist at Google tells about the book in the Foreword: "You're looking at one of the few true Applied Machine Learning books out there. That's right, you found one! A real applied needle in the haystack of research-oriented stuff. Excellent job, dear reader... unless what you were actually looking for is a book to help you learn the skills to design general-purpose algorithms, in which case I hope the author won't be too upset with me for telling you to flee now and go pick up pretty much any other machine learning book. This one is different." [...] "So, what's in [...] the book? The machine learning equivalent of a bumper guide to innovating in recipes to make food at scale. Since you haven't read the book yet, I'll put it in culinary terms: you'll need to figure out what's worth cooking / what the objectives are ( decision-making and product management ), understand the suppliers and the customers ( domain expertise and business acumen ), how to process ingredients at scale ( data engineering and analysis ), how to try many different ingredient-appliance combinations quickly to generate potential recipes ( prototype phase ML engineering ), how to check that the quality of the recipe is good enough to serve ( statistics ), how to turn a potential recipe into millions of dishes served efficiently ( production phase ML engineering ), and how to ensure that your dishes stay top-notch even if the delivery truck brings you a ton of potatoes instead of the rice you ordered ( reliability engineering ). This book is one of the few to offer perspectives on each step of the end-to-end process." [...] "One of my favorite things about this book is how fully it embraces the most important thing you need to know about machine learning: mistakes are possible... and sometimes they hurt. As my colleagues in site reliability engineering love to say, "Hope is not a strategy." Hoping that there will be no mistakes is the worst approach you can take. This book does so much better. It promptly shatters any false sense of security you were tempted to have about building an AI system that is more "intelligent" than you are. (Um, no. Just no.) Then it diligently takes you through a survey of all kinds of things that can go wrong in practice and how to prevent/detect/handle them. This book does a great job of outlining the importance of monitoring, how to approach model maintenance, what to do when things go wrong, how to think about fallback strategies for the kinds of mistakes you can't anticipate, how to deal with adversaries who try to exploit your system, and how to manage the expectations of your human users (there's also a section on what to do when your, er, users are machines). These are hugely important topics in practical machine learning, but they're so often neglected in other books. Not here." "If you intend to use machine learning to solve business problems at scale, I'm delighted you got your hands on this book. Enjoy!" Review: An exceptional follow through on the 100 page Machine Learning Book - This book is an exceptional follow through on the part of the author of the 100 page machine learning book. He covers the 'engineering' of machine learning from start to finish. The 100 page machine learning book introduces the reader to machine learning algorithms and the 'math' behind the magic. However, deploying a machine learning solution is much more than the model. The author clearly outlines the principles once must understand to successfully deploy a machine learning solution. I particularly enjoyed Sections 1.4 and 1.5 when to use and when not to use machine learning. From the discussion one can clearly set forth the criteria establishing when one should pursue a machine learning solution and when one should pursue other alternatives. A brief stop in each section will undoubtedly save many both valuable time and frustration. Overall, an excellent work. If you are interested in machine learning I highly recommend this book as well as 'The 100 Page Machine Learning Book.' Review: A must read for anyone interested in Applied Machine Learning - It is an excellent read for anyone looking to leverage ML to solve business problems at scale. Andriy has done a great job in breaking down tasks needed to move a model to production. It is a perfect follow up to his first book- Hundred Page ML which is a great read as well.

Great tour de force
If you need a weeks worth of ML reading, read this. If you want to be(come) a practitioner, this will be a very basic primer.

An Indispensable Guide for Every Machine Learning Engineer!
Machine Learning Engineering by Andriy Burkov is a must-have for anyone serious about building real-world ML systems. While many books teach you how to train a model, Burkov shows you how to turn that model into a reliable, scalable, and maintainable product โ exactly what every company needs today. The book is packed with practical insights on every stage of the ML lifecycle, from scoping and data management to deployment, monitoring, and maintenance. Burkovโs writing is clear, concise, and actionable. He cuts through the noise and focuses on what actually matters when engineering ML solutions in production environments. What I love most is how Burkov emphasizes best practices from leading tech companies, yet explains them in a way thatโs accessible even if youโre not working at a tech giant. Itโs a perfect blend of theory, practical advice, and real-world experience. If youโre a machine learning engineer, data scientist, software developer, or even a technical manager, this book will level up your understanding and help you avoid the many pitfalls of ML deployment. 5/5 stars โ Every serious ML practitioner should read this book!

A much needed book
For an aspiring data scientist wanting to learn how to develop models, there has been no shortage of resources. But learning how to manage the ML lifecycle and put the models into production has been the real challenge. Andriy Burkov follows up his previous great โThe 100 page Machine Learning Bookโ with this excellent new book. Highly recommended.

Extremely valuable
I graduated 11 months ago and have been working as a Data Scientist since. Finishing this book makes me feel like I've worked on orders of magnitude more projects than I have. The examples are very clear and you're always left feeling like you understand WHY each topic is important. Not only did this book teach me new things about MLE but it helped cement things I already figured out for myself on the job. More often than not, Andriy's words are an invaluable reinforcement for concepts I thought I already knew. Highly recommended.

Must Read without any doubts!
This is a must read for any data scientist looking to transition to a ML engineer role. I have over 3 years of experience in data science at a leading financial services firm and I must say this book has taught me so many new things. This is a treasure of gold written by Andriy. I have read the 100 pages ML book too. Both of his books are a must read and can be a good daily reference.

An encyclopedia for machine learning
Like the first one this is an encyclopedia for machine learning. This is not really for beginners or practitioners. All the topics here could be found on the internet. What the book does well if compile a bunch of topic on machine learning together that someone could use for more research. In fact, the authors seems to encourage that throughout. What the book doesnโt do well is explain machine learning. The examples are disconnected. The author jumps in and out of formulas without introducing them or connecting them to text. I think the book would benefit from a chart that pulls it all together.

Excellent Book.
The best book ever for Machine Learning Engineering. This book is different from the ones available in the market which keeps on explaining the algorithms. This book is about the entire procedure and in-depth analysis of the process of Machine Learning and it's steps associated with other technologies. This book probably gives the most simple explanation about the various terms in Data Science and the reasons why are things done the way it is. In one word, this is an exceptional book. I proudly own this book now.

Great book with missing practical examples
Great book it covers an important gap in the literature: the lifecycle of a ML project. It focuses on the important parts of practical ML, data gathering and preparation, feature engineering, reproducibility, model serving, monitoring, versioning. The book is nicely written. The only caveat is that the book is way to theoretical and is missing practical examples about real projects.

Great Overview of Machine Learning Engineering
The book defines the machine learning project life cycle and presents theory and strategies behind each step. Furthermore, the author presents code snippets to demonstrate the key ideas but do not expect any coding solution similar to "Hands-on Machine Learning with Scikit-Learn, Keras, and TensorFlow: Concepts, Tools, and Techniques to Build Intelligent Systems" and "Approaching (Almost) Any Machine Learning Problem" books. Similar to "The Hundred-Page Machine Learning Book" the quality of the book is great.
