A private training session for your team. Groups can be of any size, at a location of your choice including our training centres.
On this course, you’ll learn how to write distributed machine learning models that scale in Tensorflow 2.x, perform feature engineering in BQML and Keras, evaluate loss curves and perform hyperparameter tuning, and train models at scale with Cloud AI Platform.
You will learn the key phases of converting a candidate use case to be driven by machine learning and the correct order in which these phases should be undertaken. You will also discover how ML optimization works and how various hyperparameters affect models during optimisation.
You will learn how to write models in TensorFlow using both pre-made estimators as well as custom ones and train them locally or in Cloud AI Platform, and why feature engineering is critical to success and how you can use various technologies including Cloud Dataflow and Cloud Dataprep.
You will also cover how to set up a supervised learning problem and find a good, generalisable solution using gradient descent and creating datasets.
