In the first course of the Practical Data Science Specialization, you will learn foundational concepts for exploratory data analysis (EDA), automated machine learning (AutoML), and text classification algorithms. With Amazon SageMaker Clarify and Amazon SageMaker Data Wrangler, you will analyze a dataset for statistical bias, transform the dataset into machine-readable features, and select the most important features to train a multi-class text classifier. You will then perform automated machine learning (AutoML) to automatically train, tune, and deploy the best text-classification algorithm for the given dataset using Amazon SageMaker Autopilot. Next, you will work with Amazon SageMaker BlazingText, a highly optimized and scalable implementation of the popular FastText algorithm, to train a text classifier with very little code.

TOP REVIEWS FROM ANALYZE DATASETS AND TRAIN ML MODELS USING AUTOML
Very nice course, nice presentations. The difficulty level could have been a bit higher but all in all is a good course to get hands-on experience using data science tools on AWS.
really good course, direct to the point with aws. I really recommend create a account and review yourself all learning.
Great Introduction to AWS Sagemaker. The labs help you in putting various sage maker features in practice and must do to learn the concepts from the classes.
As always, I am overwhelmed with the course structure. Simple to learn and had enough practice to get started with cloud services.
