AMA30 – Practical Data Science with Amazon SageMaker
AMA30 - Practical Data Science with Amazon SageMaker
Course description
Artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) are becoming mainstream. In this course, you will
spend a day in the life of a data scientist so that you can collaborate efficiently with data scientists and
build applications that integrate with ML. You will learn the basic process data scientists use to develop
ML solutions on Amazon Web Services (AWS) with Amazon SageMaker. You will experience the steps to
build, train, and deploy an ML model through instructor-led demonstrations and labs.
Activities
This course includes presentations, hands-on labs, and demonstrations.
Course objectives
In this course, you will learn to:
Discuss the benefits of different types of machine learning for solving business problems
Describe the typical processes, roles, and responsibilities on a team that builds and deploys ML systems
Explain how data scientists use AWS tools and ML to solve a common business problem
Summarize the steps a data scientist takes to prepare data
Summarize the steps a data scientist takes to train ML models
Summarize the steps a data scientist takes to evaluate and tune ML models
Summarize the steps to deploy a model to an endpoint and generate predictions
Describe the challenges for operationalizing ML models
Match AWS tools with their ML function
