Master expert techniques for building automated and highly scalable end-to-end machine learning models and pipelines in Azure using TensorFlow, Spark, and KubernetesKey FeaturesMake sense of data on the cloud by implementing advanced analyticsTrain and optimize advanced deep learning models efficiently on Spark using Azure DatabricksDeploy machine learning models for batch and real-time scoring with Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS)Book DescriptionThe increase being seen in data volume today requires distributed systems, powerful algorithms, and scalable cloud infrastructure to compute insights and train and deploy machine learning (ML) models. This book will help you improve your knowledge of building ML models using Azure and end-to-end ML pipelines on the cloud.The book starts with an overview of an end-to-end ML project and a guide on how to choose the right Azure service for different ML tasks. It then focuses on Azure Machine Learning and takes you through the process of data experimentation, data preparation, and feature engineering using Azure Machine Learning and Python. You'll learn advanced feature extraction techniques using natural language processing (NLP), classical ML techniques, and the secrets of both a great recommendation engine and a performant computer vision model using deep learning methods. You'll also explore how to train, optimize, and tune models using Azure Automated Machine Learning and HyperDrive, and perform distributed training on Azure. Then, you'll learn different deployment and monitoring techniques using Azure Kubernetes Services with Azure Machine Learning, along with the basics of MLOps—DevOps for ML to automate your ML process as CI/CD pipeline.By the end of this book, you'll have mastered Azure Machine Learning and be able to confidently design, build and operate scalable ML pipelines in Azure.What you will learnSetup your Azure Machine Learning workspace for data experimentation and visualizationPerform ETL, data preparation, and feature extraction using Azure best practicesImplement advanced feature extraction using NLP and word embeddingsTrain gradient boosted tree-ensembles, recommendation engines and deep neural networks on Azure Machine LearningUse hyperparameter tuning and Azure Automated Machine Learning to optimize your ML modelsEmploy distributed ML on GPU clusters using Horovod in Azure Machine LearningDeploy, operate and manage your ML models at scaleAutomated your end-to-end ML process as CI/CD pipelines for MLOpsWho this book is forThis machine learning book is for data professionals, data analysts, data engineers, data scientists, or machine learning developers who want to master scalable cloud-based machine learning architectures in Azure.

Supercharge and automate your deployments to Azure Machine Learning clusters and Azure Kubernetes Service using Azure Machine Learning servicesKey FeaturesImplement end-to-end machine learning pipelines on AzureTrain deep learning models using Azure compute infrastructureDeploy machine learning models using MLOpsBook DescriptionAzure Machine Learning is a cloud service for accelerating and managing the machine learning (ML) project life cycle that ML professionals, data scientists, and engineers can use in their day-to-day workflows. This book covers the end-to-end ML process using Microsoft Azure Machine Learning, including data preparation, performing and logging ML training runs, designing training and deployment pipelines, and managing these pipelines via MLOps.The first section shows you how to set up an Azure Machine Learning workspace; ingest and version datasets; as well as preprocess, label, and enrich these datasets for training. In the next two sections, you'll discover how to enrich and train ML models for embedding, classification, and regression. You'll explore advanced NLP techniques, traditional ML models such as boosted trees, modern deep neural networks, recommendation systems, reinforcement learning, and complex distributed ML training techniques - all using Azure Machine Learning.The last section will teach you how to deploy the trained models as a batch pipeline or real-time scoring service using Docker, Azure Machine Learning clusters, Azure Kubernetes Services, and alternative deployment targets.By the end of this book, you’ll be able to combine all the steps you’ve learned by building an MLOps pipeline.What you will learnUnderstand the end-to-end ML pipelineGet to grips with the Azure Machine Learning workspaceIngest, analyze, and preprocess datasets for ML using the Azure cloudTrain traditional and modern ML techniques efficiently using Azure MLDeploy ML models for batch and real-time scoringUnderstand model interoperability with ONNXDeploy ML models to FPGAs and Azure IoT EdgeBuild an automated MLOps pipeline using Azure DevOpsWho this book is forThis book is for machine learning engineers, data scientists, and machine learning developers who want to use the Microsoft Azure cloud to manage their datasets and machine learning experiments and build an enterprise-grade ML architecture using MLOps.
