• A bookclub for reading Designing Machine Learning Systems by the one and only Chip Huyen.
• The club will read a chapter a week and also meet weekly to discuss each chapter's content.
• The weekly sessions will be livestreamed on the dedicated YouTube channel (@mlopslearners)

The ultimate goal for this reading club is to read the book Designing Machine Learning Systems in its entirety. By doing so, we will have learned a great deal about how to construct robust, performant, and scalable machine learning solutions to real world problems.

A not-so-distant secondary goal of this book club is to socialize; that is to meet new people, learn together, and have lots of fun while doing so! Meet people who enjoy learning and building, and the hope is that we can continue collaborating even after the completion of this bookclub (yes, sadly all good things must come to an end).

For the next 3 months, we’ll be reading Designing Machine Learning Systems together (a chapter/week).

A book/paper club only works if everyone reads the material. The expectation is that everyone will read the chapter of the week before the group discussion so that we can all contribute to the conversation.

Everyone is encouraged to post their reading progress and questions on the main bookclub channel.

The presentation slides will be uploaded to this github repo in slides/.

Bookclub helpers are volunteers that will be helping Chip throughout the duration of the club on matters regarding to organization, operations, as well as helping groups prepare their content for their presentations.

We use Chip's MLOps discord server as the main discussion forum for this bookclub. Join the server and check out the #designing-ml-system-bookclub public channel to follow along with the progress.
