However, Azure has created ML and AI services that are easy to implement in the cloud. Hands-On Machine Learning with Azure teaches you how to perform advanced ML projects in the cloud in a cost-effective way. The book begins by covering the benefits of ML and AI in the cloud. You will then explore Microsoft’s Team Data Science Process to establish a repeatable process for successful AI development and implementation. You will also gain an understanding of AI technologies available in Azure and the Cognitive Services APIs to integrate them into bot applications. This book lets you explore prebuilt templates with Azure Machine Learning Studio and build a model using canned algorithms that can be deployed as web services. The book then takes you through a preconfigured series of virtual machines in Azure targeted at AI development scenarios. You will get to grips with the ML Server and its capabilities in SQL and HDInsight. In the concluding chapters, you’ll integrate patterns with other non-AI services in Azure. By the end of this book, you will be fully equipped to implement smart cognitive actions in your models. What you will learnDiscover the benefits of leveraging the cloud for ML and AIUse Cognitive Services APIs to build intelligent botsBuild a model using canned algorithms from Microsoft and deploy it as a web serviceDeploy virtual machines in AI development scenariosApply R, Python, SQL Server, and Spark in AzureBuild and deploy deep learning solutions with CNTK, MMLSpark, and TensorFlowImplement model retraining in IoT, Streaming, and Blockchain solutionsExplore best practices for integrating ML and AI functions with ADLA and logic appsWho this book is for If you are a data scientist or developer familiar with Azure ML and cognitive services and want to create smart models and make sense of data in the cloud, this book is for you.

Book excerpt: The expert guide to creating production machine learning solutions with ML.NET! ML.NET brings the power of machine learning to all .NET developers— and Programming ML.NET helps you apply it in real production solutions. Modeled on Dino Esposito's best-selling Programming ASP.NET, this book takes the same scenario-based approach Microsoft's team used to build ML.NET itself. After a foundational overview of ML.NET's libraries, the authors illuminate mini-frameworks (“ML Tasks”) for regression, classification, ranking, anomaly detection, and more. For each ML Task, they offer insights for overcoming common real-world challenges. Finally, going far beyond shallow learning, the authors thoroughly introduce ML.NET neural networking. They present a complete example application demonstrating advanced Microsoft Azure cognitive services and a handmade custom Keras network— showing how to leverage popular Python tools within .NET. 14-time Microsoft MVP Dino Esposito and son Francesco Esposito show how to: Build smarter machine learning solutions that are closer to your user's needs See how ML.NET instantiates the classic ML pipeline, and simplifies common scenarios such as sentiment analysis, fraud detection, and price prediction Implement data processing and training, and “productionize” machine learning–based software solutions Move from basic prediction to more complex tasks, including categorization, anomaly detection, recommendations, and image classification Perform both binary and multiclass classification Use clustering and unsupervised learning to organize data into homogeneous groups Spot outliers to detect suspicious behavior, fraud, failing equipment, or other issues Make the most of ML.NET's powerful, flexible forecasting capabilities Implement the related functions of ranking, recommendation, and collaborative filtering Quickly build image classification solutions with ML.NET transfer learning Move to deep learning when standard algorithms and shallow learning aren't enough “Buy” neural networking via the Azure Cognitive Services API, or explore building your own with Keras and TensorFlow
