Welcome to Week 1 of the Fundamentals of AWS AI and ML Solutions course. In this week, you will build a strong conceptual foundation in artificial intelligence and machine learning, starting with a clear understanding of what machine learning is and how it differs from artificial intelligence and deep learning.You will explore the types of data used in machine learning systems and examine the major categories of machine learning. This week also introduces you to AWS services for machine learning, providing an overview of how managed services from Amazon Web Services support model development, training, and deployment. As part of model evaluation, you will learn how to analyze classification results using confusion matrices, interpret their outcomes, and apply evaluation metrics for both classification and regression problems. The week concludes with an introduction to deep learning, followed by a discussion on how machine learning and deep learning models are used in production environments, including key considerations such as scalability, performance, and reliability.

Welcome to Week 2. In this week, you will be introduced to Amazon SageMaker, AWS’s fully managed service for building, training, and deploying machine learning models at scale. You will begin with an overview of SageMaker and explore its core components through hands-on demonstrations. As the module progresses, you will take a deep dive into essential SageMaker capabilities such as Data Wrangler for data preparation, Feature Store for managing and reusing features, and Model Monitor for detecting data drift and maintaining model performance in production. By the end of this module, you will be able to confidently navigate the SageMaker ecosystem, prepare and manage ML data efficiently, operationalize features, monitor deployed models, and accelerate machine learning development using built-in templates and pretrained models.
