Overview
The Amazon Web Services (AWS) authorized Machine Learning Pipeline on AWS course explores how to use an iterative machine learning process pipeline to solve real business problems in a project-based learning environment. In this course, participants will learn about each phase of the process pipeline from instructor presentations and demonstrations, and then apply the knowledge to complete a project solving one of three business problems – fraud detection, recommended engines, or flight delays. By the end of the course, participants would be able to successfully build, train, evaluate, tune, and deploy machine learning models using Amazon SageMaker that solves their selected business problem.
