What is a pipeline?
The infrastructure surrounding a machine learning algorithm.
pipeline explained in plain English
The infrastructure surrounding a machine learning algorithm. A pipeline includes gathering the data, putting the data into training data files, training one or more models, and exporting the models to production. See ML pipelines in the Managing ML Projects course for more information.
Example
Practitioners refer to pipeline when building, training, or evaluating machine learning systems. It appears in research papers, product documentation, and technical discussions about AI capabilities and limitations.
