Overview of this book

Data scientists working on productionizing machine learning (ML) workloads face a breadth of challenges at every step owing to the countless factors involved in getting ML models deployed and running. This book offers solutions to common issues, detailed explanations of essential concepts, and step-by-step instructions to productionize ML workloads using the Azure Machine Learning service. You’ll see how data scientists and ML engineers working with Microsoft Azure can train and deploy ML models at scale by putting their knowledge to work with this practical guide. Throughout the book, you’ll learn how to train, register, and productionize ML models by making use of the power of the Azure Machine Learning service. You’ll get to grips with scoring models in real time and batch, explaining models to earn business trust, mitigating model bias, and developing solutions using an MLOps framework. By the end of this Azure Machine Learning book, you’ll be ready to build and deploy end-to-end ML solutions into a production system using the Azure Machine Learning service for real-time scenarios.

Using Deep Learning in Azure Machine Learning

Deep learning is a subclass of machine learning. It is based on artificial neural networks, a programming paradigm inspired by the human biological nervous system, and it enables a computer to learn from a very large amount of observational data.

There are some machine learning problems – such as image recognition, image classification, object detection, speech recognition, and natural language processing – that traditional machine learning techniques do not provide performant solutions for, whereas deep learning techniques do. This chapter will show you the deep learning capabilities available within AML that you can use to solve some of the previously mentioned problems.

In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:

  • Labeling image data for training an object detection model by using the AML Data Labeling feature
  • Training an object detection model using Azure AutoML
  • Deploying an object detection...
