Introduction to Machine Learning on AWS

This course provides an introduction to Machine Learning concepts with a blend of instructional courses, quizzes, and hands-on labs.

We begin with an introduction to the concepts of machine learning. You will then learn how to implement The Amazon Machine Learning services to create and use machine learning models.

The course then provides a closer examination of Deep Learning and neural networks. The course includes two Labs where you will get hands-on experience working with neural networks. The “CPU vs GPU” lab highlights the performance benefit of training a neural network on a GPU. The “MXNet Style Images” Lab demonstrates an interesting use case in which a neural network can be utilized.

There is an assessment exam at the end of the course to help assess and validate your understanding of machine learning on AWS.

Intended Audience

This course is suited to anyone interested in getting started with machine learning concepts and services.

Learning Objectives
