The course begins with thoroughly reviewing machine learning (ML) fundamentals, including exploratory data analysis, model building, and machine learning explainability. The class also covers the latest automated machine learning tools and techniques, such as auto-sklearn, H2O, Auto-Keras, and AWS Auto Pilot. In addition, students also learn how and when to use AutoML for rapid development and when to train a model by hand. Students will then dive into Amazon Web Services (AWS) SageMaker to train, evaluate, and deploy models. Students will gain experience deploying and maintaining models in production environments. The course includes advanced topics, including neural networks, deep learning, transfer learning, and fine-tuning, focusing on practical applications with hands-on labs where students can hone their skills.
