  • A basic understanding of IT, computer science, and data management

What you'll learn

  • Learn how to use serverless cloud data science and big data tools to solve difficult business and analytical problems

Description

Krishnan Saidapet offers an overview of the latest big data and machine learning serverless technologies from AWS and leads a deep dive into using them to process and analyze two different datasets: the publicly available Bureau of Labor Statistics dataset and the Chest X-Ray Image Data dataset.

For each dataset, Krishnan uses exploratory analytics to introduce the the dataset; shares a hypothesis about the dataset to investigate; explains the high-level architecture of the serverless tools with which to perform the analysis; walks you through preparing and cleaning the data, performing machine learning analysis on it, visualizing the results, and demonstrating key findings and insights from the data; discusses business and real-world use cases; and outlines technical best practices for using serverless tools for big data and machine learning.

You’ll use the Bureau of Labor Statistics dataset to understand patterns and derive insights such as the fastest growing and fastest shrinking jobs in the US and in specific cities, states, and regions of the US as well as wage growth and shrinkage for specific jobs in the US and across cities, states, and regions.

You’ll use the chest x-ray portion to build a CNN model to screen a particular medical condition and build a multiclass classification model to classify chest X-rays into 15 different categories (14 diseases and 1 no disease).
