Course Overview
This course teaches you how to build Vertex AI AutoML models without writing a single line of code; build BigQuery ML models knowing basic SQL; create Vertex AI custom training jobs you deploy using containers (with little knowledge of Docker0; use Feature Store for data management and governance; use feature engineering for model improvement; determine the appropriate data preprocessing options for your use case; write distributed ML models that scale in TensorFlow; and leverage best practices to implement machine learning on Google Cloud. Learn all this and more!
