Deep Understanding of Machine Learning
Technical Skills - MLOps
Mastery of supervised, unsupervised, and
reinforcement learning algorithms.
Machine Learning Operations (MLOps) Knowledge of advanced algorithms like
deep learning neural networks.
MLOps, or Machine Learning Operations, is Programming Languages
the practice of combining Machine
Learning, DevOps, and Data Engineering to
streamline and automate the ML lifecycle.
Proficiency in Python, R, and possibly other
programming languages like Java or C++.
It aims to deploy and maintain ML models
in production reliably and efficiently.
Familiarity with libraries and frameworks
such as TensorFlow, PyTorch, Keras, scikit-
The main goal is to accelerate the ML learn.
lifecycle while ensuring quality and
compliance, much like DevOps does for Statistics and Mathematics
software development.
Key Components of MLOps
Strong background in statistics, probability,
linear algebra, and calculus
Data Management Data Modeling and Evaluation
Handling large volumes of data, ensuring Ability to design effective machine learning
its quality, and preparing it for analysis. models.
Model Development Skill in evaluating the performance and
accuracy of models
Includes model design, training, and Natural Language Processing (NLP)
validation. It's crucial to ensure the models
are accurate and performant.
Understanding of text representation
Automation techniques, language models, and NLP
libraries.
Automating the pipeline for training, Computer Vision
testing, and deploying models. Continuous
Integration (CI) and Continuous
Deployment (CD) are critical.
Knowledge of image processing and
computer vision algorithms.
Monitoring and Maintenance
Signal Processing (for specific domains)
Continuously monitoring models in
production to ensure they perform as Understanding of signal processing techniques, especially for
expected and updating them as necessary. roles dealing with audio, time-series, or sensor data
