Study Notes

AWS AI Practitioner Exam - Machine Learning Project Phases

Project Initialization:
- Identify a solvable business problem
- Frame it as a machine learning problem
- Critical to involve stakeholders (value, budget, success criteria, KPIs) to ensure the project aligns with business needs
Data Preparation and Exploration:
- Collect data and convert to usable format (centralized access)
- Pre-process data (clean, handle missing values)
- Data visualization to understand data characteristics
- Exploratory data analysis (EDA): compute stats, visualize with graphs, build correlation matrices for feature correlation understanding
  - Example: Correlation between study hours and test scores (0.85) indicates positive correlation.
Feature Engineering:
- Transform data into features suitable for machine learning models
- Create, transform, and extract variables
  - Example: Correlation between sleep hours and test scores illustrates relationships for feature selection.
Model Development and Evaluation:
- Model training using prepared dataset
- Hyperparameter tuning for optimized algorithm performance
- Evaluate model performance on test data
- Business goal alignment - if goals are not met, further data enhancements (data augmentation, feature augmentation) and model adjustments are required.
Deployment and Monitoring:
- Deploy trained satisfactory model in a selected deployment method (real-time, batch, serverless, on-premises)
- Implement monitoring systems to detect and mitigate potential performance or drift issues
- Continuously monitor model performance in production
  - Crucial to retrain and update models for new data & evolving business needs; example: clothing trends change over time requiring model retraining.
Model Retraining and Iteration:
- Continuously retrain the model using new data to improve accuracy and ensure relevance over time.
- Iteration is key to improving model performance. Data changes, business needs evolve, so the model must adapt and continually improve.
