After teaching our Machine Learning in Production class (formerly “Software Engineering for AI-Enabled Systems”) four times, we stupidly made a decision we soon regretted when there were still so many chapters left: We are going to write a book with our collected material.

The full book is and will remain available online under a creative commons license at https://mlip-cmu.github.io/book/. The text here on Medium is a slightly older, less edited version. A final copy will be published by MIT Press soon. For now, cite as: Christian Kästner. Machine Learning in Production: From Models to Products. 2022.

Table of Contents

Part 1: Machine Learning in Production: Going Beyond the Model

Part 2: Requirements Engineering

Part 3: Architecture and design

Part 4: Quality assurance

Part 5: Process and Teams

Part 6: Responsible ML Engineering
