Description
Machine learning is revolutionizing industries by enabling data-driven decision-making and automation. However, implementing machine learning models can be complex, requiring infrastructure setup, data processing, and model deployment. Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio simplifies this process by providing a cloud-based platform to build, train, and deploy machine learning models efficiently. This course is designed to help learners master Azure ML Studio through a structured, hands-on approach.
This course covers the entire machine learning lifecycle, from understanding key concepts to deploying models in production environments. Learners will explore:
Types of Machine Learning – Supervised, unsupervised, and reinforcement learning.
Real-world applications in healthcare, finance, cybersecurity, and retail.
Challenges in Machine Learning – Overfitting, data quality, interpretability, and scalability.
Hands-on with Azure ML Studio
Through practical demonstrations, learners will:
Navigate the Azure Machine Learning Studio interface and set up a workspace.
Manage datasets, experiments, and models in a cloud-based environment.
Preprocess data – Handle missing values, perform feature engineering, and split datasets for training.
Use data transformation techniques – Standardization, normalization, one-hot encoding, and PCA.
Building & Training Machine Learning Models
Learners will explore different machine learning algorithms and techniques, including:
Regression, classification, and clustering models in Azure ML Studio.
Feature selection and hyperparameter tuning for better model performance.
AutoML (Automated Machine Learning) for optimizing models with minimal effort.
Ensemble learning methods such as Random Forests, Gradient Boosting, and Neural Networks.
Model Deployment & Optimization
Once models are trained, learners will dive into model deployment strategies:
Real-time inference vs. batch inference using Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) and Azure Functions.
Security best practices – Role-Based Access Control (RBAC), compliance, and encryption.
Monitoring model drift – Implementing tracking tools to detect performance degradation over time.
Automating Machine Learning Workflows
This course includes Azure ML Pipelines to automate machine learning processes:
Building end-to-end pipelines – Automate data ingestion, model training, and evaluation.
Using custom Python scripts in ML pipelines.
Monitoring and managing pipeline execution for scalability and efficiency.
MLOps & CI/CD for Machine Learning
Learners will gain practical knowledge of MLOps and CI/CD for ML models using:
Azure DevOps & GitHub Actions for model versioning and retraining automation.
CI/CD pipelines for seamless ML model updates.
Techniques for model lifecycle management – Deployment, monitoring, and rollback strategies.
