Some feedback from previous students,

1. "The instructor explained every concept smoothly and clearly. I'm an acountant without tech background nor excellent statistical knowledge. I do really appreciate these helpful on-hand labs and lectures. Passed the DP-100 in Dec 2020. This course really help."

   
   

2. "Cleared DP-100 today with the help of this course. I would say this is the one of the best course to get in depth knowledge about Azure machine learning and clear the DP-100 with ease. Thank you Jitesh and team for this wonderful tutorial which helped me clear the certification."

   
   

3. "The instructor explained math concept clearly. These math concepts are necessary as fundation of machine learning, and also are very helpful for studying DP-100 exam concepts. Passed DP-100."

   
   

I am committed to and invested in your success. I have always provided answers to all the questions and not a single question remains unanswered for more than a few days. The course is also regularly updated with newer features.

Learning data science and then further deploying Machine Learning Models have been difficult in the past. To make it easier, I have explained the concepts using very simple and day-to-day examples. Azure ML is Microsoft's way of democratizing Machine Learning. We will use this revolutionary tool to implement our models. Once learnt, you will be able to create and deploy machine learning models in less than an hour using Azure Machine Learning Studio.

Azure Machine Learning Studio is a great tool to learn to build advance models without writing a single line of code using simple drag and drop functionality. Azure Machine Learning (AzureML) is considered as a game changer in the domain of Data Science and Machine Learning.

This course has been designed keeping in mind entry level Data Scientists or no background in programming. This course will also help the data scientists to learn the AzureML tool. You can skip some of the initial lectures or run them at 2x speed, if you are already familiar with the concepts or basics of Machine Learning.

The course is very hands on and you will be able to develop your own advance models while learning,

• Advance Data Processing methods

• Statistical Analysis of the data using Azure Machine Learning Modules

• MICE or Multiple Imputation By Chained Equation

• SMOTE or Synthetic Minority Oversampling Technique

• PCA; Principal Component Analysis

• Two class and multiclass classifications

• Logistic Regression

• Decision Trees

• Linear Regression

• Support Vector Machine (SVM)

• Understanding how to evaluate and score models

• Detailed Explanation of input parameters to the models

• How to choose the best model using Hyperparameter Tuning

• Deploy your models as a webservice using Azure Machine Learning Studio

• Cluster Analysis

• K-Means Clustering

• Feature selection using Filter-based as well as Fisher LDA of AzureML Studio

• Recommendation system using one of the most powerful recommender of Azure Machine Learning

• All the slides and reference material for offline reading

You will learn and master, all of the above even if you do not have any prior knowledge of programming.

This course is a complete Machine Learning course with basics covered. We will not only build the models but also explain various parameters of all those models and where we can apply them.

We would also look at

• Steps for building an ML model.

• Supervised and Unsupervised learning

• Understanding the data and pre-processing

• Different model types

• The AzureML Cheat Sheet.

• How to use Classification and Regression

• What is clustering or cluster analysis

KDNuggets one of the leading forums on Data Science calls Azure Machine Learning as the next big thing in Machine Learning. It further goes on to say, "people without data science background can also build data models through drag-and-drop gestures and simple data flow diagrams."

Azure Machine Learning's library has many pre-built models that you can re-use as well as deploy them.

So, hit the enroll button and I will see you inside the course.
