Azure Data Scientist Associate Certification Guide

By: Andreas Botsikas, Michael Hlobil

Overview of this book

The Azure Data Scientist Associate Certification Guide helps you acquire practical knowledge for machine learning experimentation on Azure. It covers everything you need to pass the DP-100 exam and become a certified Azure Data Scientist Associate. Starting with an introduction to data science, you'll learn the terminology that will be used throughout the book and then move on to the Azure Machine Learning (Azure ML) workspace. You'll discover the studio interface and manage various components, such as data stores and compute clusters. Next, the book focuses on no-code and low-code experimentation, and shows you how to use the Automated ML wizard to locate and deploy optimal models for your dataset. You'll also learn how to run end-to-end data science experiments using the designer provided in Azure ML Studio. You'll then explore the Azure ML Software Development Kit (SDK) for Python and advance to creating experiments and publishing models using code. The book also guides you in optimizing your model's hyperparameters using Hyperdrive before demonstrating how to use responsible AI tools to interpret and debug your models. Once you have a trained model, you'll learn to operationalize it for batch or real-time inferences and monitor it in production. By the end of this Azure certification study guide, you'll have gained the knowledge and the practical skills required to pass the DP-100 exam.

Deploying real-time endpoints

Let's imagine that you have an e-banking solution that has a process for customers to request loans. You want to properly set the expectations of the customer and prepare them for potential rejection. When the customer submits their loan application form, you want to invoke the model you registered in the Registering models in the workspace section, that is, the model named chapter12-loans, and pass in the information that the customer filled out on the application form. If the model predicts that the loan will not be approved, a message will appear on the confirmation page of the loan request, preparing the customer for the potential rejection of the loan request.

Figure 12.5 shows an oversimplified architecture to depict the flow of requests that start from the customer to the real-time endpoint of the model:
