Who Should Attend

This course is intended for:

  • Developers
  • Solutions Architects
  • Data Engineers
  • Anyone with little to no experience with ML and wants to learn about the ML pipeline using Amazon SageMaker

Course Overview

NTUC LearningHub Course Code: IBFIT11

This course explores how to use the machine learning (ML) pipeline to solve a real business problem in a project-based learning environment. You will learn about each phase of the pipeline from instructor presentations and demonstrations and then apply that knowledge to complete a project solving one of three business problems: fraud detection, recommendation engines, or flight delays. By the end of the course, you will have successfully built, trained, evaluated, tuned, and deployed an ML model using Amazon SageMaker that solves their selected business problem.
