AMA33 – The Machine Learning Pipeline on AWS
AMA33 - The Machine Learning Pipeline on AWS
Course description
This course explores how to the use of the iterative machine learning (ML) process pipeline to solve a real business problem in a project-based learning environment. Students will learn about each phase of the process pipeline from instructor presentations and demonstrations and then apply that knowledge to complete a project solving one of three business problems: fraud detection, recommendation engines, or
flight delays. By the end of the course, students will have successfully built, trained, evaluated, tuned, and deployed an ML model using Amazon SageMaker that solves their selected business problem. Learners with little to no machine learning experience or knowledge will benefit from this course. Basic knowledge of Statistics will be helpful.
Activities
This course includes presentations, group exercises, demonstrations, and hands-on labs.
Course objectives
In this course, you will:
Select and justify the appropriate ML approach for a given business problem
Use the ML pipeline to solve a specific business problem
Train, evaluate, deploy, and tune an ML model using Amazon SageMaker
Describe some of the best practices for designing scalable, cost-optimized, and secure ML pipelines in AWS
Apply machine learning to a real-life business problem after the course is complete
Intended audience
This course is intended for:
Developers
Solutions Architects
Data Engineers
Anyone with little to no experience with ML and wants to learn about the ML pipeline using
Amazon SageMaker
Prerequisites
