Get there faster with Machine Learning in Azure Synapse
2022TL; DR
Looking to understand Machine Learning in Azure Synapse, then look no further.
Session Details
Azure Synapse is Microsoft's unified data analytics platform. You will see a lot about the great problems it solves in data Engineering and with Data Lakehouse Architectures. But this is never the end of the story. A data lake needs to be distilled and refined in to its predictive potential. This is where Machine Learning comes in to play. Each month there are new and interesting features added to Azure Synapse. One area which is getting more and more attention is Machine Learning. In this full day session we go from zero to hero in not only Azure Synapse but most importantly how you build models for production in Azure Synapse.
This session is a lab heavy session. You will need to bring a laptop with you, with an Azure subscription. We start the day looking at an overview of Azure Synapse, what it is and how it works. From there we move to explore how Synapse implements Machine Learning. The morning will focus on the integrations with AutoML and cognitive services before we move to train models from scratch in Python and PySpark. Along the way we will talk about model management and an increasingly important topic, MLOps.
Learn from industry experts and Microsoft MVPs Advancing Analytics in this full day session. This session is great for those who are new to Synapse, new to Machine learning but know some Synapse or new to both.

Docker & Kubernetes for the Data Scientist
Deployment == Return on investment. This session looks to show you how to do that for Machine Learning.
Machine Learning in Azure Synapse
There is a lot of content available on Synapse for Data Engineering, but what about Machine Learning? In this session we will look at how to integrate a SparkML model in Synapse.
Rapid Requirements: Introducing the Machine Learning Canvas
In this session, we will introduce the Advancing Analytics Machine Learning Canvas and how it can be used to capture requirements for Machine Learning Projects.
Machine Learning in Azure Databricks
In this session we focus on how Spark implements Machine Learning at Scale with Spark ML.
Deploy ML models faster with Data Science DevOps
In this session I will show you how to apply DevOps practices to speed up your development cycle and ensure that you have robust deployable models. We will focus on the Azure cloud platform in particular, however this is applicable to other platforms
Enhancing relational models with graph in SQL Server 2017
This session explores SQL Server 2017's Graph processing to better understand interconnectivity and behaviour in your data.

Automated Machine Learning on Azure
AutoML which stands for Automated Machine Learning empowers data teams to quickly build and deploy machine learning models. It aims to reduce the time and expertise required to generate a machine learning model by automating the heavy lifting of preprocessing, feature engineering, model creation, tuning and evaluation.
When it comes to machine learning in Microsoft Azure, there are two main options for running your AutoML: (1) Azure Machine Learning Service and (2) Azure Databricks. This session will aim to introduce how to develop ML models using AutoML on both platforms, as well as the features of each and why you would choose one over the other.
How to get started with Computer Vision AutoML in Azure
In this talk, we will be leveraging Azure computer vision. The Azure Computer Vision is part of Azure Cognitive Services that provides pre-built, advanced algorithms that process and analyse images.
If you want to get started with computer vision but do not know where to start, then this talk will give you a good starting point to jumpstart your computer vision journey. You will leave this talk with an understanding of how to build and deploy your own computer vision models using Azure computer vision.
