Welcome to AWS Machine Learning Specialty Course!

I am Chandra Lingam, and I am your instructor

In this course, you will gain first-hand SageMaker experience with many hands-on labs that demonstrates specific concepts

We start with how to set up your SageMaker environment

If you are new to ML, you will learn how to handle mixed data types, missing data, and how to verify the quality of the model

These topics are very important for an ML practitioner as well as for the certification exam

SageMaker uses containers to wrap your favorite algorithms and frameworks such as Pytorch, and TensorFlow

The advantage of a container-based approach is it provides a standard interface to build and deploy your models

It is also straightforward to convert your model into a production application

In a series of concise labs, you will in fact train, deploy, and invoke your first SageMaker model

Like any other software project, ML Solution also requires continuous improvement

We look at how to safely incorporate new changes in a production system, perform A/B testing, and even rollback changes when necessary

All with zero downtime to your application

We then look at emerging social trends on the fairness of Machine learning and AI systems.

What will you do if your users accuse your model as racially biased or gender-biased? How will you handle it?

In this section, we look at the concept of fairness, how to explain a decision made by the model, different types of bias, and how to measure them

We then look at Cloud security – how to protect your data and model from unauthorized use

You will also learn about recommender systems to incorporate features such as movie and product recommendation

The algorithms that you learn in the course are state of the art, and tuning them for your dataset is especially challenging

So, we look at how to tune your model with automated tools

You will gain experience in time series forecasting

Anomaly detection and building custom deep learning models

With the knowledge, you gain here and the included high-quality practice exam, you will easily achieve the certification!

And something unique that I offer my students is a weekly study group meeting to discuss and clarify any questions

I am looking forward to seeing you!

Thank you!
