Machine Learning In Production

Machine Learning In Production

 

PRODUCTIONISATION of Machine LEARNING is the hardest problem in data science

That is a bold statement and one which often surprises people. When you think about Data Science, you could assume the hardest problem would be selecting an appropriate algorithm, obtaining and cleaning data or possibly Deep Learning. All these are problems and hard problems, but they are well solved in machine learning. What is not solved is what you do with a model once it has been trained.

Advancing Analytics have developed a course based on the needs of our customers. It is designed to take a data scientist from concept to Production in just 3 days. You will leave this course with all the skills you need to take a model and put it in production.

The course will be delivered by Terry McCann, Artificial Intelligence MVP (Microsoft MVP). Terry holds an MSc in Machine Learning with a focus on DataOps. Terry is recognised for his ability to convert deep technical material in to bite sized understandable chunks.

Cost

On-site delivery: £1,650** per delegate (minimum 8 delegates)
Tailored course: POA

Agenda

Machine Learning Landscape in Azure

Machine Learning Landscape in Azure

Pick up a book on Machine learning and it will explain the process for machine learning, many citing CRISP-DM as the ideal process. CRISP-DM is an iterative approach to Data Mining. It starts with business understanding the flows to data understanding, data preparation, modelling, evaluation, then either loops back around or your model is deployed. How it is deployed, well no one ever tells you that! It is this problem this course solves. If you look at the image to the right you will see the vast array of options available. With each comes more complexity and sophistication.

In this three-day course we will build a series of basic models and promote them into production, using a variety of techniques in Azure. The biggest problem a lot of customers face is not how to build a machine learning model, but it which technology they should use. This question depends on so much and as a result there are multiple options in Azure. This session will demonstrate the various options for deploying a model.

We will end the three days with an example which will allow you to deploy and model, in any language using Docker, Python and Kubernetes.
