AWS Certified Machine Learning Specialty: MLS-C01 Certification Guide

By: Somanath Nanda, Weslley Moura

Overview of this book

The AWS Certified Machine Learning Specialty exam tests your competency to perform machine learning (ML) on AWS infrastructure. This book covers the entire exam syllabus using practical examples to help you with your real-world machine learning projects on AWS. Starting with an introduction to machine learning on AWS, you'll learn the fundamentals of machine learning and explore important AWS services for artificial intelligence (AI). You'll then see how to prepare data for machine learning and discover a wide variety of techniques for data manipulation and transformation for different types of variables. The book also shows you how to handle missing data and outliers and takes you through various machine learning tasks such as classification, regression, clustering, forecasting, anomaly detection, text mining, and image processing, along with the specific ML algorithms you need to know to pass the exam. Finally, you'll explore model evaluation, optimization, and deployment and get to grips with deploying models in a production environment and monitoring them. By the end of this book, you'll have gained knowledge of the key challenges in machine learning and the solutions that AWS has released for each of them, along with the tools, methods, and techniques commonly used in each domain of AWS ML.

Conventions used

There are a number of text conventions used throughout this book.

Code in text: Indicates code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles. Here is an example: To check each of the versions and the latest one of them we use aws s3api list-object-versions --bucket version-demo-mlpractice to which S3 provides the list-object-versions API, as shown here."

A block of code is set as follows:

 "Versions": [
{
"ETag":
"\"b6690f56ca22c410a2782512d24cdc97\"",
"Size": 10,
"StorageClass": "STANDARD",
"Key": "version-doc.txt",
"VersionId":
"70wbLG6BMBEQhCXmwsriDgQoXafFmgGi",
"IsLatest": true,
"LastModified": "2020-11-07T15:57:05+00:00",
"Owner": {
"DisplayName": "baba",
"ID": "XXXXXXXXXXXX"
}
} ]

When we wish to draw your attention to a particular part of a code block, the relevant lines or items are set in bold:

[default]
exten => s,1,Dial(Zap/1|30)
exten => s,2,Voicemail(u100)
exten => s,102,Voicemail(b100)
exten => i,1,Voicemail(s0)

Any command-line input or output is written as follows:

$  aws s3 ls s3://version-demo-mlpractice/
$  echo "Version-2">version-doc.txt

Bold: Indicates a new term, an important word, or words that you see onscreen. For example, words in menus or dialog boxes appear in the text like this. Here is an example: "Select System info from the Administration panel."
