The goal of this workshop is to survey the field of machine learning and deep learning. It includes the steps for architecting and deploying a large-scale learning pipeline on Google Cloud Platform. The workshop contains the following sections:
The Computational Cost of Building ML Products, Why GCP, GCP Product and Service Offerings, Cloud Compute, Cloud Storage, Big Data/ Analytics, Cloud AI
Enable Google Compute Engine and Cloud Source Repositories APIs, Launch a Datalab Instance from gcloud, Retrieving Code from Github into Datalab VM, Shutting down/ Deleting the instance
Starting out with Colab, Change Runtime Settings, Storing Notebooks, Uploading Notebooks
Why Machine Learning?, Types of Learning, Foundations of Machine Learning, A Formal Model for Machine Learning Theory, How do we assess learning?, Training and Validation data, The Bias/ Variance tradeoff, Evaluation metrics
Linear Regression Model, Gradient Descent, Building a Linear Regression Model with TensorFlow, Importing the dataset, Prepare the dataset for modeling, The Regression Model, Plot model statistics
The Logit or Sigmoid Model, Logistic Regression Cost Function, Logistic Regression Model with TensorFlow Canned Estimators, Tensorflow Datasets (tf.data), FeatureColumns, Estimators
The representation challenge, An Inspiration from the Brain, The Neural Network Architecture, Training the Network, Cost Function or Loss Function, The Backpropagation Algorithm, Activation Functions, MultiLayer Perceptron (MLP) with Tensorflow Estimator API
Beam Programming, Enable Dataflow API, Building a Simple Data Transformation Pipeline
