Welcome to the ACE-team training on Azure Machine Learning (AML) service.

The material presented here is a deep-dive which combine real-world data science scenarios with many different technologies including Azure Databricks (ADB), Azure Machine Learning (AML) Services and Azure DevOps, with the goal of creating, deploying, and maintaining end-to-end data science and AI solutions.

• The data scientist has been tasked to develop a predictive maintenance (PdM) solution for a large set of production machines on a manufacturing floor.

• The data scientist was asked to create a PdM solution that is executed weekly, to develop a maintenance schedule for the next week.

• Previous experience suggests that anomalies in the telemetry data collected on each machine are indicative of impending catastrophic failures. The data scientist was therefore asked to include anomaly detection in their solution.

• The organization also asked for a real-time anomaly detection service, to enable immediate machine inspection before the beginning of the next maintenance cycle.

Note: Anomaly detection can also be performed on unstructured data. One example is to detect unusual behavior in videos, like a car driving on a sidewalk, or violation of safety protocols on a manufacturing floor. If you are interested in this use case, please go to this repo: https://github.com/Microsoft/MLOps_VideoAnomalyDetection

Please go to this page to find alternative agendas around the above use-cases.
