Machine learning is the process of teaching a computer system how to make predictions through experience. In order for a computer to understand a model must be created on an initial set of data. This lab is aimed at machine learning beginners who want to understand how to train custom models. After completing this lab you will understand how to create a machine learning model based on a categorized set of images. Additionally, you will gain familiarity with Amazon Rekognition, and basic Python concepts for interacting with the sample model.
