Practical Exercises in Model Deployment
In this final section, we will engage in practical exercises that involve exporting and serving scikit-learn models, simulating live inference, and integrating monitoring and update strategies. These exercises are designed to consolidate our understanding of model deployment pipelines and demonstrate best practices for real-world ML operations. By the end of these exercises, we will have applied the full lifecycle of model deployment using scikit-learn.
Exercise 1: Saving and Reloading a Model Pipeline for Deployment
In this exercise, we will serialize a trained model pipeline and reload it to simulate a production environment. This exercise ensures that preprocessing and inference logic are bundled together and reusable across environments.
Implementation steps:
- Load libraries
- Create and train pipeline:
- Save and reload pipeline
- Generate new predictions:
Exercise 2: Monitoring Model Accuracy Over Time
This exercise involves simulating streaming...
