Writing Machine Learning Code More Productively
Tirthajyoti Sarkar · Apress eBooks · 2022
Data scientists often come from a background quite far removed from traditional computer science/software engineering, such as physics, biology, statistics, economics, and electrical engineering. Unfortunately, there are not a lot of tutorials geared towards data scientists and machine learning practitioners who do not come from a software engineering background. Writing high-quality, production-level code is a skill to be learned and honed over a lifetime. It’s the bread and butter of software engineers and developers. Not all data scientists will have the motivation and drive to acquire these skills. However, some simple good practices can be learned and applied in your everyday work. This chapter will take you through that journey with some hands-on examples.
