Fundamentals of Machine Learning with AWS

Published by Pearson

Intermediate to advanced content levelIntermediate to advanced

Are you curious about Machine Learning and don’t know where to begin? You’ve come to the right place. In this course, we will teach you the concepts behind Machine Learning (ML) and Artificial Intelligence (AI). We’ll cover a brief history of ML and AI and then dive into the concepts, taxonomy and vocabulary so that you’ll be able to continue your education, familiar with the lexicon that used in data analysis. We will frame these concepts in a pragmatic manner by reviewing using Amazon’s rich and powerful ML and AI platform built on the highly scalability and available Amazon Web Services cloud platform.

Are you wondering when it’s appropriate to use Machine Learning? To address this question, we will review specific usage scenarios for Machine Learning so that you can not only recognize situations where Machine Learning makes sense, but also be inspired to create your own Machine Learning models for both professional and personal use.

This course will also provide a high-level overview of the common algorithms and models used with Machine Learning, including those provided out of the box by AWS. By understanding the family of models, you’ll be better equipped to determine appropriate model to use for your business scenarios.

Although it will be helpful to have some prior experience with technology and AWS, it isn’t required to take this course. You also do not have to have background in software development, data science or data analytics. This course makes Machine Learning accessible to nearly anyone.

What you’ll learn and how you can apply it

  • Understand key Machine Learning concepts and taxonomy
  • Walk away with an understanding of the AI and ML services offered by AWS
  • Learn about the different types of Machine Learning
  • Review the typical workflows used with Machine Learning
  • Receive a high level understanding of the families of Machine Learning algorithms
