Hi, I’m Vlad 👋

My top 3 tips for working better, faster, and just a bit stronger with Azure ML Compute Instances

A glimpse of the upcoming paradigm shift in how we do development

The issue with machine learning pipelines is that they need to pass state from one step to another. When this works, it’s a beautiful thing to behold. When it doesn’t, well, it’s not pretty, and I think the clip below sums this up pretty well. made a Rube Goldberg machine pic.twitter.com/gWRNnmm5Ic — COLiN BURGESS (@Colinoscopy) April 30, 2020 Azure ML Pipelines are no stranger to this need for passing data between steps, so you have a variety of options at your disposal....

How to create a model based on an Azure AutoML-trained baseline, using standard open-source components where possible and adapting AutoML specific code where needed

The first in a series of articles about building production machine learning systems in Azure, thinly veiled as an attempt to predict cryptocurrency prices

Machine learning pipelines are a way to describe your machine learning process as a series of steps such as data extraction and preprocessing, but also training, deploying, and running models. In this article, I’ll show you how you can use Azure ML Pipelines to deploy an already trained model such as this one, and use it to generate batch predictions multiple times a day. But before we do that, let’s understand why pipelines are so important in machine learning....

Long title, I know 🤫. It used to be shorter, as some earlier versions of this talk were called ‘Predicting Survivability on the Titanic’, but this time I wanted to experiment a bit and make it real easy for the audience to decide whether or not this would be interesting for them. And so they did. You see, they wanted to learn more about machine learning. And, the way I see it, the two tools I talked about - Azure Machine Learning Studio and Kaggle Competitions - can help you get started with ML, while also making it fun to do so....

This is a more detailed version of my Boy meets Girl talk, created specially for Microsoft Ignite | The Tour Amsterdam 2019. Whereas Boy meets Girl was mostly focused on how to deploy a trained model using either Azure ML Service or ML Studio, here I wanted to create a more in-depth comparison of the two tools. This is what led me to the concept of having multiple rounds, with the audience voting for their favourite tool (truth be told, I think I just wanted another go at delivering something similar to my TypeScript versus CoffeeScript talk 🤓)....

This was a fun talk to write :). Ever since I saw Azure ML Service being announced, I knew I wanted to compare it with ML Studio, a tool with which I had a bit more experience. And so I did. Since 45 minutes is nowhere near enough to compare the two tools (lesson re-learned the hard way while designing Service versus Studio), I decided to only compare their deployment capabilities, given an already trained model....
