We provide online course with introduction to Machine Learning with AWS. Are you curious about machine learning but don´t know where to start? Machine learning is a pervasive technology relevant to today´s IT development, but transitioning your skillset to machine learning can be challenging.
Content:
Cloud computing platforms democratize machine learning and put it in the hands of every developer! Level up on machine learning and jumpstart your journey using Amazon Web Services (AWS). In this workshop, I will introduce machine learning using cloud services. We'll explore machine learning concepts and see first-hand the steps to process and prepare data for machine learning, train and deploy a machine learning model, and generate real-time predictions.
We will explore Amazon SageMaker, a tool used to build, train, deploy, and manage models at scale. You'll walk away understanding how to leverage machine learning to solve business problems and the services available to build machine learning solutions. No Ph.D. or prior cloud or machine learning experience is required!
Technologies covered:
• Amazon Web Services (AWS), Amazon SageMaker, Amazon S3, AWS Lambda, and Amazon CloudWatch
