Modules

  • Introduction to Azure Machine Learning
  • Working with Azure Machine Learning
  • Automated Machine Learning
  • Azure Machine Learning Designer
  • Introduction to Experiments
  • Training and Registering Models

Data is a fundamental element in any machine learning workload, so in this module, you will learn how to create and manage datastores and datasets in an Azure Machine Learning workspace, and how to use them in model training experiments.

  • Working with Datastores
  • Working with Datasets

One of the key benefits of the cloud is the ability to leverage compute resources on demand and use them to scale machine learning processes to an extent that would be infeasible on your own hardware. In this module, you’ll learn how to manage experiment environments that ensure consistent runtime consistency for experiments, and how to create and use compute targets for experiment runs.

  • Working with Environments
  • Working with Compute Targets

Now that you understand the basics of running workloads as experiments that leverage data assets and compute resources, it’s time to learn how to orchestrate these workloads as pipelines of connected steps. Pipelines are key to implementing an effective Machine Learning Operationalization (ML Ops) solution in Azure, so you’ll explore how to define and run them in this module.

  • Introduction to Pipelines
  • Publishing and Running Pipelines

Models are designed to help decision making through predictions, so they’re only useful when deployed and available for an application to consume. In this module learn how to deploy models for real-time inferencing, and for batch inferencing.

  • Real-time Inferencing
  • Batch Inferencing
  • Continuous Integration and Delivery

By this stage of the course, you’ve learned the end-to-end process for training, deploying, and consuming machine learning models; but how do you ensure your model produces the best predictive outputs for your data? In this module, you’ll explore how you can use hyperparameter tuning and automated machine learning to take advantage of cloud-scale compute and find the best model for your data.

  • Hyperparameter Tuning
  • Automated Machine Learning

Data scientists have a duty to ensure they analyse data and train machine learning models responsibly; respecting individual privacy, mitigating bias, and ensuring transparency. This module explores some considerations and techniques for applying responsible machine learning principles.

  • Differential Privacy
  • Model Interpretability
  • Fairness

After a model has been deployed, it’s important to understand how the model is being used in production, and to detect any degradation in its effectiveness due to data drift. This module describes techniques for monitoring models and their data.

  • Monitoring Models with Application Insights
  • Monitoring Data Drift
