Video description

More Than 7 Hours of Video Instruction

Overview

This course covers the essentials of Machine Learning on AWS and prepares a candidate to sit for the AWS Machine Learning-Specialty (ML-S) Certification exam. Four main categories are covered: Data Engineering, EDA (Exploratory Data Analysis), Modeling, and Operations. Description This 7+ hour Complete Video Course is fully geared toward the AWS Machine Learning-Specialty (ML-S) Certification exam. The course offers a modular lesson and sublesson approach, with a mix of screencasting and headhsot treatment.
  • Data Engineering instruction covers the ingestion, cleaning, and maintenance of data on AWS.
  • Exploratory Data Analysis covers topics including data visualization, descriptive statistics, and dimension reduction and includes information on relevant AWS services.
  • Machine Learning Modeling covers topics including feature engineering, performance metrics, overfitting, and algorithm selection.
  • Operations covers deploying models, A/B testing, using AI services versus training your own model, and proper cost utilization.
