Comment on Ask HN: How to incorporate machine learning into day job?parent

I suggest it because that's exactly how I put my first ML model into production a couple of weeks ago. All my model does is update placeholder text to give suggestions to users based on previous actions. Took about 3 hours from start to finish: write training script, run it on cron, throw result in a cache, add API endpoint for accessing cached model, fetch model on frontend boot and store in state store, and integrate with search component.

This book is kind of dated, but it's what I used for inspiration and reference: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00F8QDZWG/ref=oh_aui_d_de...

Programming Collective Intelligence is a fantastic book. I literally couldn't believe how many cool things it has throughout it.

It doesn't assume much prior knowledge and guides you gently through solving a bunch of data problems.

No affiliation, but its a great book regardless of it being a bit old (code is easy to update, good explanations are timeless).

This is a great idea for a simple application of ML. Thanks for the tip!

Great idea to get started, thanks!
