Overview
This IBM Web-Based Training (WBT) is Self-Paced and includes:
- Instructional content available online for duration of course
- Visuals without hands-on lab exercises
An emerging trend in AI is the availability of technologies in which automation is used to select a best-fit model, perform feature engineering and improve model performance via hyperparameter optimization. This automation will provide rapid-prototyping of models and allow the Data Scientist to focus their efforts on applying domain knowledge to fine-tune models. This course will take the learner through the creation of an end-to-end automated pipeline built by Watson Studio- s AutoAI experiment tool, explaining the underlying technology at work as developed by IBM Research. The focus will be on working with an auto-generated Python notebook. Learners will be provided with test data sets for two use cases.
Skills Gained
- Building a rapid prototype of Watson Studio AI
- Automated Data Preparation and Model Selection
- Automated Feature Engineering and Hyperparameter Optimization
- Evaluation and Deployment of AutoAI-generated Solutions
Who Can Benefit

Reviews
Sean is the very good instructor. I would like to take his class again in the future.
The platform is very intuitive and easy to navigate. Great tool for learning
ExitCertified gave a great course on AWS that covered all of the basics in depth with good lab materials.
I like their training. A lot of material covered. The labs are very good. l learned a lot.
Simply great training provider that I can go for updating/acquiring my skill sets.
