If you are completely new to data science and machine learning, please complete Microsoft Azure AI Fundamentals first.
Course content
Module 1: Getting Started with Azure Machine Learning |
In this module, you will learn how to provision an Azure Machine Learning workspace and use it to manage machine learning assets such as data, compute, model training code, logged metrics, and trained models. You will learn how to use the web-based Azure Machine Learning studio interface as well as the Azure Machine Learning SDK and developer tools like Visual Studio Code and Jupyter Notebooks to work with the assets in your workspace.
Lessons: |
|
Lab: Create an Azure Machine Learning Workspace |
After completing this module, students will be able to: |
|
Module 2: Visual Tools for Machine Learning |
This module introduces the Automated Machine Learning and Designer visual tools, which you can use to train, evaluate, and deploy machine learning models without writing any code.
Lessons: |
|
Lab: Use Automated Machine Learning
Lab: Use Azure Machine Learning Designer |
After completing this module, students will be able to |
|
Module 3: Running Experiments and Training Models |
In this module, you will get started with experiments that encapsulate data processing and model training code, and use them to train machine learning models.
Lessons: |
|
Lab: Train Models
Lab: Run Experiments |
After completing this module, you will be able to: |
|
Module 4: Working with Data |
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.
Lessons: |
|
Lab: Work with Data |
After completing this module, students will be able to: |
|
Module 5: Working with Compute |
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.
Lessons: |
|
Lab: Work with Compute |
After completing this module, students will be able to: |
|
Module 6: Orchestrating Operations with Pipelines |
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.
Lessons: |
|
Lab: Create a Pipeline |
After completing this module, students will be able to: |
|
Module 7: Deploying and Consuming Models |
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.
Lessons: |
|
Lab: Create a Real-time Inferencing Service
Lab: Create a Batch Inferencing Service |
After completing this module, students will be able to: |
|
Module 8: Training Optimal Models |
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.
Lessons: |
|
Lab: Use Automated Machine Learning from the SDK
Lab: Tune Hyperparameters |
After completing this module, students will be able to: |
|
Module 9: Responsible Machine Learning |
Data scientists have a duty to ensure they analyze 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.
Lessons: |
|
Lab: Explore Differential provacy
Lab: Interpret Models Lab: Detect and Mitigate Unfairness |
After completing this module, students will be able to: |
|
Module 10: Monitoring Models |
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.
Lessons: |
|
Lab: Monitor Data Drift
Lab: Monitor a Model with Application Insights |
After completing this module, students will be able to: |
