Publisher's Synopsis
Build blazing-fast, robust AI systems-powered by Rust.
Are you a machine learning developer tired of struggling with slow performance, complex dependencies, and unsafe code? Looking to boost your AI workflows with a language designed for both speed and safety? Rust Programming for Machine Learning is your practical, hands-on guide to building high-performance, production-ready AI pipelines using Rust, the modern systems language known for combining efficiency, memory safety, and developer productivity.
This comprehensive guide introduces Rust specifically through the lens of machine learning, covering every essential aspect-from foundational Rust concepts to deploying optimized machine learning models at scale. You'll learn to construct safe and fast AI systems without sacrificing readability or maintainability.
Inside, you'll discover:
Foundations of Rust for Machine Learning: Quickly grasp key concepts like ownership, zero-cost abstractions, traits, and effective use of the Rust ecosystem.
Data Ingestion and Preprocessing: Master efficient data handling with powerful Rust libraries like serde and ndarray.
Implementing Linear Models and Decision Trees: Build models from scratch, using pure Rust for ordinary least squares, gradient descent, and ensemble methods like Random Forests and Gradient Boosting.
Crafting Neural Networks: Learn to define layers, activation functions, backpropagation, and serialization to deploy models effectively.
GPU Acceleration and Parallelism: Accelerate your AI workflows using CUDA, OpenCL, Rayon, and Rust's async programming to maximize concurrency and throughput.
Embedded and Edge AI: Optimize and deploy resource-constrained models to edge devices, microcontrollers, and Raspberry Pi platforms.
Model Explainability: Clearly interpret model predictions with practical implementations of LIME, SHAP, and feature-importance visualizations.
Production Deployment and Monitoring: Containerize Rust applications using Docker and Kubernetes, instrument systems with Prometheus, and master structured logging and alerting for robust production environments.
Whether you're a seasoned AI practitioner or a developer eager to leverage Rust's powerful capabilities, this book provides the practical guidance, best practices, and real-world examples you need to produce efficient, secure, and high-quality machine learning solutions.
