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.

Setting up a sweep job with grid sampling

Earlier in the chapter, we cloned our sample notebook to leverage this material. The notebook for this chapter, 'Chapter 4 - Hyperparameter Tuning', provides a review on creating a job command to create a logistic regression model by leveraging an sklearn pipeline and mlflow capabilities.

The code is then updated and placed into a new directory – the hyperparametertune folder. The code leverages python’s argparse module, which enables you to pass parameters into scripts. To run the script that has been generated by this notebook, we will create a job command and update the job command to include the hyperparameters as shown in the following code snippet:

Note that the hyperparameters have been included as inputs to the command, but their values are added to the command in line 22 in the preceding figure. This...
