“Grow Your ML Garden on Google Cloud” is a hands-on workshop that invites attendees to delve into the world of Machine Learning Operations (MLOps) using Google Cloud Platform (GCP) as a fertile ground for AI development. This workshop will guide participants through the lifecycle of ML projects – from preparing the initial data soil to nurturing and cultivating robust ML models. Emphasizing on MLOps practices, this workshop covers three key areas: preparing the data in a BigQuery’s feature store, developing ML models with Vertex AI, and managing a sustainable MLOps environment using Vertex AI Pipelines. The participants will have the opportunity to predict outages of wind turbines using a real world dataset with time series data.

Objectives

  • Introduce data and ML capabilities of Google Cloud
  • Illustrate core MLops principles with an industry use-case
  • Offer hands-on experience with state-of-the-art data tools like BigQuery and Vertex AI
  • Give each participant the opportunity to build and deploy their own model
