Deployments az extension add -n azure-cli-ml az group create -n ml -l westus2 az ml workspace create -w AzML -g ml az ml folder attach -w AzML -g ml Create Workspace using Azure CLI: az ml computetarget create amlcompute -n cpu --min-nodes 0 --max-nodes 2 -s STANDARD_DS3_V2 Create Cluster using Azure CLI: MS Docs: HERE
16. Azure ML service Workspace Taxonomy
17. Tools for Simplified ML: AutoML, Designer Automatic ML Designer Run the experiment to automatically try different models and select the one that performs best Can do some feature optimization (data balancing, irrelevant feature elimination) Similar to Azure ML Studio Classic Perform ML experiments without coding, by composing pre-build blocks Defines pipelines in a graphical way
18. Task 1: Auto ML on Titanic Dataset 1. Create Titanic dataset in Azure ML • Use “Tabular -> From the web”: http://www.soshnikov.com/temp/titanic.csv 2. Create AutoML Experiment • Select “Classification” as task • Make sure to change featurization options to include only useful fields • You can optionally enable deep learning 3. After the experiment has finished, see accuracy and the best model
19. Task 2: Play with Designer 1. Open Designer 2. Select pre-build sample “Multi-Class Classification – Letter Recognition” 3. Look at the experiment structure 4. Submit the experiment
20. Running Notebooks When you do a lot of training, it makes sense to store data inside the workspace. To run Python code inside the workspace – use Notebooks! You need to create separate compute to do that!
21. Serious ML Create and Run Experiments on Azure ML Cluster Through the Portal Via Azure CLI Python SDK
22. Using Cluster to Train Model in Python Azure ML for VS Code Portal http://portal.azure.com

42. Case Study: Open Domain Question Answering Common tasks for NLP: • Intent Classification • Named Entity Recognition (NER) • Keyword Extraction • Text Summarization • Question Answering Open Domain Question Answering – a task, when a model is able to give specific answers contained in a large volume of text (e.g. Wikipedia) - Where did guinea pigs originate? - Andes of South America - When did the Lynmouth floods happen? - 1804 Neural Language Models: • Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) • LSTM, GRU • Transformers • GPT-2 • BERT • Microsoft Turing-NLG
43. How BERT Works (Simplified) Masked Language Model + Next Sentence Prediction During holidays, I like to ______ with my dog. It is so cute. 0.85 Play 0.05 Sleep 0.09 Fight 0.80 YES 0.20 NO BERT contains 345 million parameters => very difficult to train from scratch! In most of the cases it makes sense to use pre-trained language model.

45. DeepPavlov: “Keras” for NLP http://deeppavlov.ai $ pip install deeppavlov python -m deeppavlov install config.json python -m deeppavlov download config.json python -m deeppavlov train config .json Text processing pipeline is defined in JSON config: • Processing steps, their inputs and outputs • Weight location for pre-trained models • Data shape and location • Training parameters
46. Example: Open Domain Question Answering for COVID http://aka.ms/deeppavlov
47. Using Azure ML to Train the ODQA Model We will use the following features of Azure ML: • Define file dataset that points to data location • Create cheap non-GPU compute for data exploration and preparation • Use GPU-enabled compute on the same data to train the model • All code would be in the form of Jupyter Notebooks We do not use training on Azure ML Cluster in this case to have better control on the environment. DeepPavlov downloads large amounts of pre-trained data from the network, and for simple cases it is better to use single node. Link to the non-commercial CORD-19 dataset: here (.tar.gz)
