Using Machine Learning for products, services, and critical business processes is quite different from using ML in an academic or research setting—especially for recent ML graduates and those moving from research to a commercial environment. Whether you currently work to create products and services that use ML, or would like to in the future, this practical book gives you a broad view of the entire field. Authors Robert Crowe, Hannes Hapke, Emily Caveness, and Di Zhu help you identify topics that you can dive into deeper, along with reference materials and tutorials that teach you the details. You'll learn the state of the art of Machine Learning engineering, including a wide range of topics such as modeling, deployment, and MLOps. You'll learn the basics and advanced aspects to understand the production ML lifecycle. If you’re working in ML/AI or if you want to work in ML/AI in any way other than pure research, this book is for you. It’s primarily focused on people who will have a job title of “ML engineer” or something similar, but in many cases, they’ll also be considered data scientists (the difference between the two job descriptions is often murky). On a more fundamental level, this book is for people who need to know about taking ML/AI technologies and using them to create new products and services. Putting models and applications into production might be the main focus of your job, or it might be something that you do occasionally, or it might even be something done by a team you collaborate with.

In the rapidly evolving AI landscape, customer service and support professionals find themselves in a prime position to take advantage of this innovative technology to drive customer success. The AI Revolution in Customer Service and Support is a practical guide for professionals who want to harness the power of generative AI within their organizations to create more powerful customer and employee experiences. This book is designed to equip you with the knowledge and confidence to embrace the AI revolution and integrate the technology, such as large language models (LLMs), machine learning, predictive analytics, and gamified learning, into the customer experience. Start your journey toward leveraging this technology effectively to optimize organizational productivity. Generative AI has made amazing advances in the last year, and customer service and support is one of the most important areas where this new technology can have an immediate impact. While the technology is not yet in a place where it will fully replace agents and support engineers, it can do wonders to dramatically improve customer experience while also contribute to the optimization of productivity in various ways. This book help readers understand how and where to incorporate AI technology into the flow of the customer experience. Large Language Models (LLMs) are the latest and most advanced stage of LMs, which aim to build very large-scale and powerful LMs that can generate natural language texts across multiple domains and tasks, given minimal or no supervision. LLMs rely on massive amounts of computation and data and use sophisticated optimization and regularization techniques, such as self-attention, dropout, or layer normalization, to train billions or trillions of parameters. Some of the most prominent examples of LLMs are GPT-3, GPT-3.5 (Instruct GPT) and GPT-4, developed by OpenAI.

Writing a C extension for Python is good for fun and profit! The fun part is that adding Python to C gives you so much more power and a deeper understanding of how Python works. The internals of Python are worth knowing about because they suggest new approaches to other problems. As well as being interesting, it is also a valuable skill. Extending & Embedding Python Using C tells you everything you need to know about the C API, which is what you use to create an extension. It is essentially the Python runtime and so exploring it tells you a lot about Python. You don’t need to be an expert Python programmer to create an extension, but it helps. As you are going to be writing mostly C code, programming in C is a more important skill for this task. While you don’t have to be a C expert, you do need to be reasonably competent and C aficionados will enjoy finding out about some of the clever techniques in use in the C API. Extending Python is a way of bringing any C-based application or library to a much wider audience. Converting Python functions into C functions is also a way of speeding things up. Moreover, you can provide access to hardware or system features that are usually inaccessible by creating an extension. The final chapter explains how to convert the skills you have gained in creating a Python extension to embed Python in a C program. This is a less common requirement, but it has some interesting advantages and possibilities and once you know how to create a Python extension it is easy.
