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.

Training Machine Learning Models in AMLS

Training Machine Learning (ML) models in Azure Machine Learning (AML) is key to enabling your data science workload. Typically, during the model creation process, data is split into test and training datasets. Models are then built with the training data and evaluated using the test dataset. During this process, many algorithms are selected and used to answer the question: what model will provide the best results on an unseen dataset? AML has the capability to log metrics, taking snapshots of the code that produced a given model performance to enable answering this question. AML comes with a variety of accelerating capacities. During this chapter, we will focus on the creation of experiments to train models and on the basic functionality of AML experiments to unlock using compute instances, compute clusters, and registered datasets.

Model training can be established through the AML Python SDK or the designer for a low-code experience. During...
