Save the best model to a PKL file using Joblib or pickle to back up before Google Colab session timeouts, and prepare for deployment with Flask and Streamlit.
Tune hyperparameters for churn prediction using Adaboost, LightGBM, and Cadboost, guided by Optuna Bayesian optimization. Save, compare, and deploy the best models with Streamlit or Flask.
Identify Adaboost as the top performer on F1 and recall, and plan hyperparameter optimization and saving as a PKL file for the next Streamlit app.
Learn how to turn standalone Python notebooks into deployable apps with Flask, build a front end, expose models via REST APIs, and map end-to-end deployment workflows.
Create a basic Flask web app by installing Flask, creating app.py, defining routes, returning text responses, and running with optional debug mode and port configuration.
Transform a notebook-based breast cancer model into a Flask web app with a simple html front end, handling post submissions, rendering templates, and frontend-backend integration.
Deploy your flask application on AWS EC2 to expose it publicly instead of localhost. Launch an EC2 instance, select an AMI, configure security groups, upload and deploy your code, verify.
Welcome to ML & MLOps Masters 2026 - Build, Train, Evaluate & Deploy Models! This course is designed for learners who want to master the full machine learning lifecycle—from Python and statistics through modeling (classification, regression, clustering, and time series) to production-grade deployment using MLOps.
Whether you’re starting out or already know the basics, you’ll learn how to build accurate models, evaluate them properly, and then package them into real pipelines that can be monitored, retrained, and improved over time.
What You Will Learn
In this Masters program, you will develop practical skills across:
Python for ML: Write production-minded Python code for data and ML workflows
Statistics for Modeling: Distributions, hypothesis testing, uncertainty, and assumptions that impact ML
Data Prep & EDA: Explore, clean, and transform datasets for reliable training
SQL (optional but applied): Query and shape data efficiently for ML use cases
Machine Learning Core: Train, validate, and tune models that actually perform
Classification / Regression / Clustering: Choose algorithms and metrics correctly
Time Series & Forecasting: Handle temporal data and build forecasting pipelines
Model Evaluation & Validation: Metrics, cross-validation, leakage prevention, and model diagnostics
MLOps Foundations: Model packaging, deployment patterns, versioning, and pipeline structure
Monitoring & Retraining: Detect drift, evaluate performance in production, and improve models
Real-World Project Development: Build end-to-end systems you can showcase
Projects You Will Build
You’ll work on multiple projects that mirror real business and technical needs. Example project directions include:
Cancer Risk Assessment
Churn Prediction
Course Structure
The course is delivered through modules designed to build momentum and ensure you retain everything you learn:
Video lessons (concept + implementation)
Hands-on coding exercises
Quizzes and checkpoints
Project-based learning (your portfolio grows module by module)
Conclusion
By the end of ML & MLOps Masters 2026 - Build, Train, Evaluate & Deploy Models, you won’t just “know ML”—you’ll know how to ship ML: build strong models, evaluate them with confidence, deploy them reliably, and maintain them using real MLOps practices.
