Level

Beginner

Prerequisite knowledge

  • A basic understanding of Python, data science, and the cloud

Materials or downloads needed in advance

  • A Google Colaboratory account
  • A laptop (with Python 3.6 and the Jupyter Notebook installed if you can't use Google Colab notebooks)
  • XCode 9.4 or higher installed (useful but not required)
  • An AWS, GCP, and Azure Account (useful but not required)

What you'll learn

  • Utilize hardware AI to build products including TPUs, GPUs, FPGAs, and A11 Bionic
  • Compare, choose, and implement auto and managed machine learning systems including Google Cloud AutoML, AWS Sagemaker, and Azure Machine Learning Studio
  • Perform IoT programming fundamentals with Python, AWS IoT Greengrass, AWS Deep Lens, and a Raspberry Pi
  • Build production machine learning models with AWS Sagemaker
  • Create iOS Core ML2 applications with Swift playgrounds
  • Train a computer to identify numbers in handwriting and identify cars in pictures

Description

The next evolution of AI and ML is cloud native, managed platforms and custom hardware AI, inclusive of things like custom AI chips, internet of things devices, and more. AWS has Sagemaker, which allows for a fully managed build, train, and deployment lifecycle, including automatic hyperparameter tuning. Microsoft Azure has Azure ML Studio, which includes high-level tools that allow for drag-and-drop workspace machine learning workflows. Google has AutoML, which allows developers with limited machine learning expertise to train high-quality models by automatically inferring the correct hyperparameters and model to use.

Noah Gift and Robert Jordan teach you how to use these managed platforms to create solutions in a fraction of the time as a “roll your own" ML solution. Additionally, learn to compare how each cloud-managed solution compares and be able to pick the right solution for the task at hand. Learn to use these hardware devices to create end-to-end ML solutions by integrating both IoT and on-device ML models. Along the way, Noah and Robert dive into two real-world examples: Apple, which has developed a dedicated AI chip used in the Core ML2 framework, and AWS DeepLens, which can run Sagemaker-trained models. Both hardware AI and managed ML services are tightly coupled and rapidly innovating. In the very near future, it’s possible all production machine learning will be using hardware AI components of some variety (IoT, GPU, TPUs) and managed and auto ML solutions.

@prabhat

almost everything will be browser based. I would recommend a GCP account

Hi, Does this tutorial need a Mac and whether a Win 10 or Linux laptop work? What IDE would be recommended? Spyder/anaconda. Thanks!
