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.

What is custom duty/charge? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Customs duty are charges levied on goods when they cross international borders. It is a tax that is imposed on imported goods. These duties are charged by special authorities and bodies created by local governments and are meant to protect local industries, economies, and businesses.

Do I have to pay customs charges for the print book order? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The orders shipped to the countries that are listed under EU27 will not bear custom charges. They are paid by Packt as part of the order.

List of EU27 countries: www.gov.uk/eu-eea:

A custom duty or localized taxes may be applicable on the shipment and would be charged by the recipient country outside of the EU27 which should be paid by the customer and these duties are not included in the shipping charges been charged on the order.

How do I know my custom duty charges? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

For example:

  • If you live in Mexico, and the declared value of your ordered items is over $ 50, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 19% which will be $ 9.50 to the courier service.
  • Whereas if you live in Turkey, and the declared value of your ordered items is over € 22, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 18% which will be € 3.96 to the courier service.
