Data Science with Cortana Intelligence Suite
Event Information
Description
A Days hands on experience with Machine Learning and the Cortana Intelligence Suite

“Data Science” is a rather all-encompassing term, involving everything from analytics to big data, statistics, and programming. Using a variety of skills and tools, the Data Scientist needs to tie together many disparate components to perform the job. Microsoft has introduced a suite of tools called Cortana Analytics and a comprehensive process to tackle any Data Science project in a simplified, consistent, collaborative manner.
Buck Woody from the Machine Learning and Data Science team at Microsoft will teach you the suite, and you’ll work through a practical application of the tools and process to solve a real-world problem.
At the end of this workshop, you’ll be able to:
- Understand the Cortana Intelligence Suite and when and where to use each component
- Apply the Cortana Analytics Process (CAP) to a given solution
- Understand and use the Cortana Intelligence environment to create collaborative projects, experiments and publish solutions
- Get input data from on-premises, online, and cloud-based sources
- Clean, transform, normalized and quantize your data
- Build, score and evaluate a Predictive Model
- Build and evaluate a categorical model
- Publish and stage the predictive model as an Azure-based Service
- Consume the model using Power BI and Cortana
Requirements:
- You’ll need a laptop with connectivity to the Internet
- An Azure Account (MSDN is acceptable) capable of running multiple components such as HDInsight and Storage
- Optionally: Microsoft Excel (if you wish to consume the model in Excel)
