Intelligence is neither human nor artificial.
It is just augmented.

Our brain is like a neural network, and learning is like doing gradient descent.

We do something, compare with what we wanted to get, compute the error, reflect and readjust our internal parameters.

Companies to not look for online-course-certificate collectors.

Companies look for problem solvers.

Find a problem you are interested in, build your own solution, put on Gihtub and explain what you solved, and how you solved it in the README file.

ML projects in the real world are very complex.

Training the model in a Jupyter notebook is the easy part.

Complexity and tech debt pop everywhere:

- data ingestion
- deployment
- re-training
- monitoring

MLOps is a set of best practices that make your life easier.

Behind every great data scientist...
... there is a greater data engineer.

RAG is what happens when your data engineering pipelines work.

Wreck is what happens when they don't.

Water falls from the sky.
Clean data doesn't.

Thank you my dear Data Engineer.

Your Python code is not working?

A breakpoint() is all you need.

We humans are a wonderful product of life evolution.

Not the owners of planet Earth.

I remember the good old days where Torchflow was all you needed to know to be called a Deep Learning expert...

... or was it Tensortorch ?

Never mind

The data engineer moves the data.
The data scientist talks to the data.
The ML engineer squeezes the data.
The business loves the data.

There is (very) intelligent life beyond LLMs...

Training ML models on static data is just 1 piece of the puzzle.

Real-word ML systems need 2 more pieces:

-> Feature pipeline -> ingests raw data and produce fresh features.

-> Inference pipeline -> generates fresh predictions from the fresh features and your production model.

You don’t need the latest LLM.
You just need an Excel sheet

Without data engineering...

... there is no LLM engineering.
