Perform Foundational Data, ML, and AI Tasks

As an international marketer and Google Cloud Expert, I have firsthand experience with the importance of performing foundational data, ML, and AI tasks in Google Cloud. These tasks are essential for building and deploying successful ML and AI models, which can be used to solve a wide range of business problems.

In this article, I will discuss the importance of foundational data, ML, and AI tasks in Google Cloud, and why I decided to obtain the skill badge “Perform Foundational Data, ML, and AI Tasks in Google Cloud.”

What are Foundational Data, ML, and AI Tasks?

Foundational data, ML, and AI tasks are the basic tasks that need to be completed in order to build and deploy ML and AI models. These tasks include:

  • Data preparation: This involves cleaning, transforming, and loading data into a format that can be used by ML and AI algorithms.
  • Feature engineering: This involves creating new features from existing data, which can improve the performance of ML and AI models.
  • Model training: This involves training an ML or AI model on a dataset to learn the relationship between the features and the target variable.
  • Model evaluation: This involves evaluating the performance of an ML or AI model on a held-out test set.
  • Model deployment: This involves making an ML or AI model available so that it can be used to make predictions on new data.

Why are Foundational Data, ML, and AI Tasks Important?

Foundational data, ML, and AI tasks are important for a number of reasons:

  • They ensure that the data is clean, high-quality, and in a format that can be used by ML and AI algorithms, which is essential for building and deploying successful ML and AI models.
  • They allow you to create new features from existing data, which can improve the performance of ML and AI models. This is especially important for complex problems where the relationship between the features and the target variable is not obvious.
  • They allow you to train and evaluate ML and AI models on large datasets. This is necessary for building robust and accurate models.
  • They allow you to deploy ML and AI models so that they can be used to make predictions on new data. This is essential for using ML and AI to solve real-world problems.

Why Did I Decide to Obtain the Skill Badge “Perform Foundational Data, ML, and AI Tasks in Google Cloud”?

I decided to obtain the skill badge “Perform Foundational Data, ML, and AI Tasks in Google Cloud” because I wanted to demonstrate my proficiency in these essential skills. I also wanted to learn more about the Google Cloud Platform and its tools for performing foundational data, ML, and AI tasks.

The Perform Foundational Data, ML, and AI Tasks in Google Cloud skill badge quest covers a wide range of topics, including:

  • BigQuery: A fully managed, petabyte-scale analytics data warehouse that enables businesses to analyze all their data very quickly.
  • Cloud Speech AI: A service that converts audio to text in real time.
  • Cloud Natural Language API: A service that extracts information from text, such as entities, sentiment, and syntax.
  • AI Platform: A unified platform for building, training, and deploying ML models.
  • Dataflow: A fully managed service for running batch and streaming data processing pipelines.
  • Cloud Dataprep by Trifacta: A service for cleaning, transforming, and enriching data.
  • Dataproc: A managed Hadoop and Spark service.
  • Video Intelligence API: A service that analyzes videos to extract information such as objects, people, and text.

By completing the skill badge quest, I learned how to use these GCP tools to perform ML and AI tasks. I also gained a deeper understanding of the Google Cloud Platform and its capabilities.
