Using Azure Automated ML

In this hands-on lab, you are working as a data scientist for Sam's Taxi, a taxi cab company. You’ve been asked to come up with a model that can be used to predict fare prices based on length of drive and time it takes to drive there. You’ll use Azure Machine Learning studio and Azure automated machine learning to create a regression model that will predict fare prices. You’ll also get a chance to deploy the model to an real-time endpoint.

  1. Challenge

    Open the Azure ML Studio and Create a New Dataset

    In the Azure ML studio, create a new dataset using the taxi fare data file from Microsoft.

  2. Challenge

    Configure and Start the Automated ML Run

    Change the timeout of the job to 15 minutes by expanding limits on the task settings page, and set the Experiment timeout (minutes) to 15, so it will stop after approximately 15 minutes.

  3. Challenge

    Review Results

    Take a look at some of the metrics for the run, like the R2 score, or the root mean squared error.

  4. Challenge

    Deploy the Model to a Real-time Endpoint

    Make sure you change the virtual machine to a DS2_v2 size and change the instance count to 1, or your resources will be deleted.

  5. Challenge

    Test Your Newly Deployed Model

    • Use the test tab and input the JSON data below to test your model and see how accurate the predicted value is compared to the actual value of 17.

         "input_data":{
            "data":[
               {
