A 7-Step Overview Of ML Model Deployment

The nuances of ML are hard enough locally, but are you tired of dealing with the headache of juggling machine learning development, deployment, and maintenance all on your own? Say goodbye to the days of being a one-man (or woman) ML show and hello to the world of MLOps. In this article, we'll explore an overview of how to deploy an ML model and where to start when youre ready to move from your local environment into the great beyond.

Deploying a machine learning (ML) model typically involves the following steps:

  1. Preprocessing the data: The first step is to prepare the data that will be used to train the model. This may involve cleaning and formatting the data, as well as splitting it into training and testing sets.

  2. Training the model: Next, the model is trained on the prepared data using a machine learning algorithm. This typically involves adjusting the model's hyperparameters and optimizing its performance.

  3. Evaluating the model: After training, the model's performance is evaluated on the testing set to assess its accuracy and identify any areas for improvement.

  4. Tuning the model: If the model's performance is not satisfactory, it may be necessary to fine-tune the model by adjusting its hyperparameters or trying different algorithms.

  5. Serializing the model: Once the model is performing well, it needs to be saved in a format that can be easily loaded and used for predictions. This is typically done using a process called serialization.

  6. Deploying the model: There are several ways to deploy a machine learning model, depending on the requirements of the application. Some options include deploying the model as a web service, integrating it into a mobile app, or using it to make predictions on a server.

  7. Monitoring and maintaining the model: After the model is deployed, it is important to monitor its performance and make any necessary updates or adjustments to ensure that it continues to perform well.
