Deploying a machine learning model involves moving it from a development environment to a production environment where it can make predictions on new data.

Steps for Model Deployment

Model Exporting

  • Use tools like joblib or pickle to serialize the model.
    import joblib
    joblib.dump(model, 'linear_regression_model.pkl')

Deployment Options

  • Application Integration: Embed the model into an application for real-time predictions.
  • API Deployment: Use frameworks like Flask or FastAPI to create an API endpoint for the model.
  • Automated Workflows: Integrate the model into automated data processing pipelines.

Tools and Platforms

Considerations

  • Scalability: Ensure the deployment solution can handle the expected load.
  • Model Observability: Implement monitoring to track model performance and detect issues.
