Key Design Choices in a Modular ML System

Question: When building a machine learning system from separate stages, what two design decisions must be made first?

Sample answer: You need to decide which processing stages the system will include and define the interface for passing information from one stage to the next.

Key points:

  • Choosing the stages or modules in the system
  • Defining the handoff between stages, including how outputs from one stage become inputs to the next

Rubric: A correct response must mention both the system’s component breakdown and the way information moves between components.
