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.

Chapter 5: Letting the Machines Do the Model Training

In this chapter, you will create your first Automated Machine Learning (Automated ML or AutoML) experiment. AutoML refers to the process of trying multiple modeling techniques and selecting the model that produces the best predictions against the training dataset you specify. First, you will navigate through the AutoML wizard that is part of the Azure Machine Learning Studio web experience and understand the different options that need to be configured. You will then learn how to monitor the progress of an AutoML experiment and how to deploy the best-produced model as a web service hosted in an Azure Container Instance (ACI) to be able to make real-time inferences.

The best way to go through this chapter is by sitting in front of a computer with this book by you. By using your Azure subscription and this book together, you can start your journey through AutoML.

In this chapter, we're going to cover the following main...
