This module advances learners to implement specialized data structures for scalable ML systems. The learners will build custom solutions using sets, graphs, tries, and segment trees to handle uniqueness constraints, recommendation engines, string pattern matching, and range queries, demonstrating measurable performance gains over naive approaches in complex, large-scale ML pipeline scenarios.

What's included

3 videos2 readings

This module culminates in production-ready ML system architecture by teaching learners to optimize memory-performance trade-offs and implement sparse data representations. The learners will complete end-to-end case studies that achieve 2x-10x performance improvements in feature engineering pipelines and model serving scenarios, while maintaining enterprise-level code quality, error handling, and scalability requirements.
