The course begins with a discussion about data: how to improve data quality and perform exploratory data analysis. We describe Vertex AI AutoML and how to build, train, and deploy an ML model without writing a single line of code. You will understand the benefits of Big Query ML. We then discuss how to optimize a machine learning (ML) model and how generalization and sampling can help assess the quality of ML models for custom training.

Syllabus - What you will learn from this course
Introduction
This module provides an overview of the course and its objectives.
Get to Know Your Data: Improve Data through Exploratory Data Analysis
In this module, we look at how to improve the quality of our data and how to explore our data by performing exploratory data analysis. We look at the importance of tidy data in Machine Learning and show how it impacts data quality. For example, missing values can skew our results. You will also learn the importance of exploring your data. Once we have the data tidy, you will then perform exploratory data analysis on the dataset.
Machine Learning in Practice
In this module, we will introduce some of the main types of machine learning so that you can accelerate your growth as an ML practitioner.
Training AutoML Models Using Vertex AI
In this module, we will introduce training AutoML Models using Vertex AI.
BigQuery Machine Learning: Develop ML Models Where Your Data Lives
In this module, we will introduce BigQuery ML and its capabilities.
Optimization
In this module we will walk you through how to optimize your ML models.
Generalization and Sampling
Now it’s time to answer a rather weird question: when is the most accurate ML model not the right one to pick? As we hinted at in the last module on Optimization -- simply because a model has a loss metric of 0 for your training dataset does not mean it will perform well on new data in the real world. You will learn how to create repeatable training, evaluation, and test datasets and establish performance benchmarks.

TOP REVIEWS FROM LAUNCHING INTO MACHINE LEARNING
Overall it was great, and very instructive. However, the Short History of ML was a little bit confusing with too many unexplained words and too many details too early.
This course gave me a good overview of how to work with GCP for ML and also helped in covering a bit of knowledge gaps that I had when I learnt things on my own.
Very good course for beginners! -1 star because I find labs to be less informational and practical and course to be more theoretical that practical!
Great presenter. High energy engaging. The material is more difficult and to develop intuition of why the sampling needs to result in constant RMSE didn't come across.
