Practical Data Science with Amazon SageMaker (MLPDSS)

Artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) are becoming mainstream. In this course, you will spend a day in the life of a data scientist so that you can collaborate efficiently with data scientists and build applications that integrate with ML. You will learn the basic process data scientists use to develop ML solutions on Amazon Web Services (AWS) with Amazon SageMaker. You will experience the steps to build, train, and deploy an ML model through instructor-led demonstrations and labs.

  • Course level: Intermediate
  • Duration: 1 day


Activities

This course includes presentations, hands-on labs, and demonstrations.
