Google's 43 Rules for Machine Learning

OVERFIT: AI, Machine Learning, and Deep Learning Made Simple

This document provides a comprehensive set of rules for building and deploying machine learning systems, focusing on best practices gleaned from Google’s extensive experience. The document is divided into sections that cover the key stages of the machine learning process, including launching a product without ML, designing and implementing metrics, creating a first pipeline, feature engineering, human analysis, and addressing the challenges of training-serving skew. The rules cover a wide range of topics, from choosing the right objective function to detecting silent failures, and from creating human-understandable features to avoiding feedback loops. The document also offers guidance for navigating the transition from simple to more complex models as a system matures and performance plateaus.
