Debugging Machine Learning Models with Python

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.

This book is what I've been looking for so long! I've read many machine learning books and often got caught up in some complex math details that discouraged me from moving forward. This book however, really starts from the basic fundamentals and takes you to advanced concepts with real-world examples and simple language in a clear path. It also helped me develop a better understanding of machine learning life cycle, model performance and techniques and all you really need to start is some basic understanding of Python. I recommend it to everyone from the beginners to professionals in the field.

If you have any feedback about the product you're reading, or Early Access in general, then please fill out a contact form here and we'll make sure the feedback gets to the right team. 

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

How will I know when new chapters are ready? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access. You'll get an email to let you know there has been a new chapter, or a change to a previous chapter. The new chapters are automatically added to your account, so you can also check back there any time you're ready and download or read them online.
