Learning Objectives
- Create an Azure Machine Learning workspace using the SDK
- Run experiments and train models using the SDK
- Optimize and manage models using the SDK
- Deploy and consume models using the SDK
Intended Audience
This course is designed for data scientists with existing knowledge of Python and machine learning frameworks, such as Scikit-Learn, PyTorch, and Tensorflow, who want to build and operate machine learning solutions in the cloud.
Prerequisites
- Fundamental knowledge of Microsoft Azure
- Experience writing Python code to work with data using libraries such as Numpy, Pandas, and Matplotlib
- Understanding of data science, including how to prepare data and train machine learning models using common machine learning libraries, such as Scikit-Learn, PyTorch, or Tensorflow

Let's run the following cells to create a folder for a new experiment. And then we start off as well, to create a script file that uses sacred land to train a model and a plotlib to plot a ROC curve. So we set up a regularization hyper parameter, which is passed as an argument to the script. We then get the experiment run context. We load the diabetes data, which is passed as an input dataset. We then separate the features and labels. We then split the data into training set and test set. And then next we train our classification model, which uses the logistic regression algorithm. We then calculate the accuracy. And then we log the results. We also calculate the area under the curve, and we log the results. And finally, we save our model, and we complete the run.
