Machine Learning Operations

MLOps Pipeline

A lightweight real-time machine learning pipeline that collects user input, stores data, retrains models, and serves predictions as new data arrives. It combines scikit-learn kernel density estimation with a PyTorch-based neural network density regressor, with FastAPI orchestrating the end-to-end workflow. Try the demo below!
