Who Should Take This Course

IT technologists and hobbyists, computer science students, and domain experts who want to understand the basic principles of Amazon Machine Learning and its application and receive a hands-on practical demonstration of using Amazon Machine Learning. You don’t have to be a data scientist or professional developer to benefit from this course. In fact, small business owners who have a firm handle on their own business data would find value in the examples used, which is a retail business and small dataset.

Course Requirements Familiarity with technology consoles and administrative interfaces would be very helpful. A rudimentary understanding of the Amazon Web Services platform would be a bonus, but not necessary to learn from this course. A basic understanding of how data and its schema is structured digitally would be an asset to understanding the concepts of Machine Learning.

Module Descriptions

Module 1, “Amazon Machine Learning Basics,” discusses understanding how Amazon ML works and how you can frame problem sets. By the end, the first data set will be uploaded.

Module 2, “Amazon Machine Learning Data Architecture,” covers how to set up the source from SQL Server. The data to be downloaded will be provided, so SQL Server does not need to be installed.

In Module 3, “Data and Schema Configuration,” historical sales data is used to predict the future price of an item. “Gotchas” are showcased so a solid starting machine learning model can be built.

Module 4, “Machine Learning Visualization and Modeling,” uses data insights to further refine the model.

Module 5, “Predictions with Amazon Machine Learning,” examines predictions and determining future data. The model’s performance is analyzed, and real-time and batch predictions are applied. Finally, key concepts, questions to consider, and next steps are covered.
