Welcome to the Nanodegree program

The Skills That Set You Apart

The Data Science Process

Learn the data science process, including how to build effective data visualizations, and how to communicate with various stakeholders

Communicating to Stakeholders

Project Write A Data Science Blog Post

In this project, learners will choose a dataset, identify three questions, and analyze the data to find answers to these questions. They will create a GitHub repository with their project, and write a blog post to communicate their findings to the appropriate audience. This project will help learners reinforce and extend their knowledge of machine learning, data visualization, and communication.

01. Updating a Model

In this lesson we are going to take a look at updating an existing endpoint so that it conforms to a different endpoint configuration. There are many reasons for wanting to do this, the two that we will look at are, performing an A/B test and updating a model which is no longer performing as well.

To start, we will look at performing an A/B test between two different models. Then, once we’ve decided on a model to use, updating the existing endpoint so that it only sends data to a single model.

For the second example, it may be the case that once we’ve built a model and begun using it, the assumptions on which our model is built begin to change.

For instance, in the sentiment analysis examples that we’ve looked at our models are based on a vocabulary consisting of the 5000 most frequently appearing words in the training set. But what happens if, over time, the usage of words changes? Then our model may not be as accurate.

When this happens we may need to modify our model, often this means re-training it. When we do, we’d like to update the existing endpoint without having to shut it down. Fortunately, SageMaker allows us to do this in a straightforward way.
