Welcome to the Machine Learning No-Code Approach, Using Azure ML Studio course. The students will get an overview of the course and what they will be able to do after taking the course.
This lecture is an overview of Supervised, Unsupervised and Reinforcement Learning. The student will be able to explain the differences among them and identify which category to use for different real case scenarios.
Students will have a walkthrough the different features of Azure ML Studio and they will be able to identify and describe what is the purpose of each feature.
Build your first machine learning model for Titanic survival classification using Azure ML Studio, covering data upload, feature selection, train-test split, training, and evaluation with a guided demonstration.
Split the data into training and test with the split data module, using 70% training and 30% testing, and save your work with a fixed random seed.
Train a two-class decision forest model by selecting the algorithm, supplying training data from the split, and predicting survived with a column selector, then visualize and score on new data.
Improve your classification model by analyzing data, selecting features, cleaning misinformation, and comparing algorithms, then deploy your model via web service and Excel in a no-code Azure ML Studio workflow.
Revisit your first model and inspect data quality using mean, median, standard deviation, and missing values. Use the Summarised Data module to examine quartiles and feature usefulness for predictions.
Experiment with a satcom machine learning algorithm and compare two-class models in Azure ML Studio, evaluating accuracy and area under the curve to select and deploy the best model.
Deploy the refined model by setting up and validating a predictive web service. Connect an Excel file to submit data and retrieve scored predictions from the web service.
Refine iris flower experiment by stratifying data by class and re-running to raise accuracy from 88.89% to 97.78%, comparing multiclass logistic regression with another model and inspecting the confusion matrix.
Deploy your first machine learning model without code, using Titanic data to apply data summary, feature selection, cleaning, stratification, and hyperparameter tuning for classification; then explore regression for house prices.
Create a Milbourne project, upload datasets, and conduct exploratory data analysis to understand features, select columns, and address missing values for modeling.
Convert string features to categorical using the edit metadata tool in manipulation, turning type, coastal area, and region name into categorical features after cleaning missing data.
Explore mean absolute error and relative absolute error calculations using actual price and predicted price, with a practical excel workflow to compute these indicators from two columns in a dataset.
Explore an Azure ML Studio no-code workflow solving the Iowa housing market exercise by selecting key features and predicting sale price, with mean absolute error 23,758 and 40% relative error.
Reassess selected features, tune hyperparameters, and compare algorithms to improve a regression model while noting variance. Deploy the model live via Exo and test with data using a no-excel approach.
Use future based feature selection in Azure ML Studio to assess feature-to-price correlations, prune weak features, keep strong ones, and compare model results across experiments.
Compare regression algorithms by testing a boosted decision three regressor against the prior model, evaluating mean absolute error on test data, and preparing deployment in Excel.
Explore additional algorithms, test new models, and compare results; sample datasets and gallery experiments help you build and run your own projects.
Machine Learning is the most in demand technical skill in today's business environment. Most of the time though it is reserved for professionals that know how to code.
But Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio changed that. It brings a drag-n-drop easy to use environment to anyone’s fingertips. Microsoft is known for its easy-of-use tools and Azure ML Studio is no different.
However, as easy as Azure ML Studio is, if you don’t know Machine Learning, at least the basics, you won’t be able to do much with the tool. This is one of the goals of this course: To give you the foundational understanding about Machine Learning. You will get the base knowledge required to not only talk proficiently about ML, but also to put it into action and execute on business needs.
We will go through all the steps necessary to put together a Supervised Learning prediction model, whether you need Classification (for discrete values like “Approved” or “Nor Approved”) or Regression (for continuous values like “Salary” or “Price”).
The course will only require you to have basic knowledge of math including the basic operations and how to calculate average. Some exposure to Microsoft Excel would be good as during deployment of the live model, we will be using Excel to perform demonstrations.
This course has been designed keeping in mind technologists with no coding background as we use a “no-code approach”. It is very hands-on, and you will be able to develop your own models while learning. We will cover:
- Basics of the main three main types of Machine Learning Algorithms
- Supervised Learning in depth
- Classification by using the Titanic Dataset
- Understanding and selecting the features from the dataset
- Changing the metadata of features to work better with ML Algorithms
- Splitting the data
- Selecting the Algorithm
- Training, scoring, and evaluating the model
- Regression by using the Melbourne Real Estate Dataset
- Cleaning missing data
- Stratifying the data
- Tuning hyperparameters
- Deploying the models to a Excel
- Providing web service details to developers in case you want to integrate with external systems
- Azure ML Cheat Sheet
The course also includes 4 assignments with solutions that will give you an extra chance to practice your newly acquired Machine Learning skills.
In the end you will be able to use your own datasets to help your company with data prediction or, if you just want to impress the boss, you will be able to show the new tool you have just added to your toolbelt.
If you are not a coder and thought there would be no place for you to ride the Machine Learning wave, think again. You can not only be part of it, but you can master it and become a Machine Learning hero with Azure ML Studio.
