MemPy Hybrid - Automating Machine Learning with Python and Azure - Matt Eland

IMPORTANT: The Microsoft office in Memphis is open!

You are welcome to join us either in person or virtually via Teams. Meetup will not allow a hybrid event so I am leaving it as 'online' so I can post the Teams link. However we invite those who are local to attend in person at 6750 Poplar Ave. (corner of Poplar and Kirby). Use the north (not Poplar Ave.) entrance after hours. Microsoft is on the 8th floor. There is no charge to park at the Microsoft office. We will continue to broadcast the in-person meetings from Microsoft to accommodate those wish to attend and speak remotely.

In this session we'll explore Azure Machine Learning Studio and how it can help novices, journeymen, and experts on their machine learning journey.

Specifically we'll explore AutomatedML and machine learning without deep data science knowledge, the machine learning designer for intermediate users, and the Python SDK for those who prefer to code in Python but take advantage of Azure's cloud offerings.

We'll explore data and compute management as well as integration with other aspects of Azure such as databricks and synapse analytics and close with a discussion of Azure Cognitive Services for those interested in consuming pre-built machine learning models.

By the time we're done, you'll see how Azure is a frighteningly powerful platform for all flavors of data scientists - including those without a deep data science background.

Matt is a software engineering instructor at Tech Elevator's Columbus Ohio campus where he gets to raise up future developers and unleash them upon the world to do awesome things. Prior to this Matt enjoyed a .NET and JavaScript-heavy career in the startup and Software as a Service world.

Matt is an organizer for the Central Ohio .NET Developer Group, runs a data science blog and YouTube channel, and is pursuing a master's degree studying data science and artificial intelligence as he continues to build nerdy things and look for ways to share new things with the community.
