3+ Hours of Video Training on Machine Learning Fundamentals and Best Practices for Better Models with Azure Machine Learning
In this video training, Justin Frébault walks you through Machine Learning fundamentals and provides best practices for better models with Azure Machine Learning. Through the use of demos and hands-on labs, you will learn how to industrialize your models by deploying and monitoring them. This course will also introduce popular tools in Azure for interpreting your models so that they can better support business decisions.
Machine Learning is rapidly becoming ubiquitous, making it a key technology to learn. It is changing the landscape of business. Learning the key concepts of Machine Learning is essential to understanding its capabilities and knowing how to use it. This course targets those hands-on skills and will provide directed learning in several important areas including the basics of Machine Learning, which covers the different types of algorithms, the Machine Learning workflow and data-centric Machine Learning. It will also cover deploying and monitoring models, as well as the important skill of interpreting models.
Topics include:
Lesson 1: Introduction to Machine Learning
Lesson 1 introduces what Machine Learning is as a discipline. This lesson discusses the Machine Learning workflow and cover how to select the right algorithms and what data centric Machine Learning is. We will then start our first exercises and create an Azure Machine Learning workspace.
Lesson 2: Introduction to Azure Machine Learning
This lesson introduces Azure Machine Learning and discusses the different components of the platform as well as its audience. We will go deeper into what constitutes a Workspace, and then explore the Studio and the SDK. The goal will be to run our first experiments in the lab.
Lesson 3: Improve Your Azure Machine Learning Model
This lesson will cover how to improve your Models. We will see two technics: hyperparameter tunning and automated Machine Learning. A key aspect will be to learn how to balance bias and variance, and the underlying principle of the bias/variance tradeoff. The lesson will finish with a lab where we will tune hyperparameters.
Lesson 4: Deploy and Monitor Your Model
Here we will talk about the important aspects of deploying and monitoring your models. This is an important lesson if you want to productionize your work. We will see how to increase the quality of your solution with CI/CD, and what your options are to monitor data drift and models.
Lesson 5: Interpret Your Model
In this final lesson we will cover interpretability in Machine Learning. We will see why it is important and what explainers are. We will address global and local feature importance. We will also touch on fairness: how to evaluate it and ensure it.
