Summary

This repository provides AI and Machine Learning content specifically designed for Google Cloud, targeting engineers and researchers. It offers comprehensive modules for core ML models, MLOps on Vertex AI, and Generative AI, enabling rapid development and deployment of AI solutions within the Google Cloud ecosystem.

How It Works

The project is structured into three primary modules: asl_core focuses on diverse model architectures (DNN, CNN, RNN, transformers, SNGP) across multiple data modalities using TensorFlow/Keras; asl_mlops provides tools for operationalizing models on Vertex AI, including training, tuning, serving, and pipeline orchestration with TFX and Kubeflow; and asl_genai explores Generative AI and agent systems using Gemini and Google ADK. Learning materials are organized into hands-on labs and verified solutions for guided practice.

Quick Start & Requirements

Setup begins with running scripts/setup_env.sh in Cloud Shell to provision essential Google Cloud infrastructure (APIs, IAM, Buckets). Users then clone the repository and execute make within the asl-ml-immersion directory. Supported environments include Vertex AI Workbench and Cloud Workstations, with optional GPU (Nvidia T4) attachment. Dependencies are managed via the make process.
