Machine Learning with Databricks

This course is aimed at data scientists and machine learning practitioners and consists of two, four-hours modules. 

Machine Learning at Scale

In this course, you will gain theoretical and practical knowledge of Apache Spark’s architecture and its application to machine learning workloads within Databricks. You will learn when to use Spark for data preparation, model training, and deployment, while also gaining hands-on experience with Spark ML and pandas APIs on Spark. This course will introduce you to advanced concepts like hyperparameter tuning and scaling Optuna with Spark. This course will use features and concepts introduced in the associate course such as MLflow and Unity Catalog for comprehensive model packaging and governance.

Advanced Machine Learning Operations

In this course, you will be provided with a comprehensive understanding of the machine learning lifecycle and MLOps, emphasizing best practices for data and model management, testing, and scalable architectures. It covers key MLOps components, including CI/CD, pipeline management, and environment separation, while showcasing Databricks’ tools for automation and infrastructure management, such as Databricks Asset Bundles (DABs), Workflows, and Mosaic AI Model Serving. You will learn about monitoring, custom metrics, drift detection, model rollout strategies, A/B testing, and the principles of reliable MLOps systems, providing a holistic view of implementing and managing ML projects in Databricks.

This is your introduction to contextual generative AI solutions using the retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) method. First, you’ll be introduced to RAG architecture and the significance of contextual information using Mosaic AI Playground. Next, we’ll show you how to prepare data for generative AI solutions and connect this process with building a RAG architecture. Finally, you’ll explore concepts related to context embedding, vectors, vector databases, and the utilization of Mosaic AI Vector Search.

This course prepares data professionals to leverage the Databricks Intelligence Platform to productionalize ETL pipelines. Students will use Delta Live Tables with Spark SQL and Python to define and schedule pipelines that incrementally process new data from a variety of data sources into the Lakehouse. Students will also orchestrate tasks with Databricks Workflows and promote code with Databricks Repos.
