As a Machine Learning scientists working at a large software engineering company, I strongly feel like this book should be one of the mandatory readings for anybody working on real-world machine learning systems, regardless of their role (software engineer, data scientist, product manager, etc.). Most Machine Learning books will teach you the various ways you can train a model, what loss function to use, how to avoid overfitting, etc, but none of them will explain to you the most important part: how to ship your model to have customer impact, and how to design your user experience such that every user interaction improves your sytem. This book explains it in great details, with lots of concrete examples and very clear explanations about each and every steps required to deliver a successful intelligent experience. The summary at the end of each chapter are very useful when coming back to the book later to review a section! I also really liked the tone of the book, full of funny examples and witty remarks. Way to make a technical read entertaining!… (meer)
