Question #: 65
Topic #: 1

[All AWS Certified Machine Learning - Specialty Questions]

Machine Learning Specialist is building a model to predict future employment rates based on a wide range of economic factors. While exploring the data, the
Specialist notices that the magnitude of the input features vary greatly. The Specialist does not want variables with a larger magnitude to dominate the model.
What should the Specialist do to prepare the data for model training?

A. Apply quantile binning to group the data into categorical bins to keep any relationships in the data by replacing the magnitude with distribution.
B. Apply the Cartesian product transformation to create new combinations of fields that are independent of the magnitude.
C. Apply normalization to ensure each field will have a mean of 0 and a variance of 1 to remove any significant magnitude.
D. Apply the orthogonal sparse bigram (OSB) transformation to apply a fixed-size sliding window to generate new features of a similar magnitude.

Ans is not C. What is listed there is the definition of STANDARDIZATION. Normalization just scales and is not useful for reducing the effect of outliers

QUESTION 69 A large consumer goods manufacturer has the following products on sale: • 34 different toothpaste variants • 48 different toothbrush variants • 43 different mouthwash variants The entire sales history of all these products is available in Amazon S3. Currently, the company is using custom-built autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) models to forecast demand for these products. The company wants to predict the demand for a new product that will soon be launched. Which solution should a Machine Learning Specialist apply? A. Train a custom ARIMA model to forecast demand for the new product. B. Train an Amazon SageMaker DeepAR algorithm to forecast demand for the new product. C. Train an Amazon SageMaker k-means clustering algorithm to forecast demand for the new product. D. Train a custom XGBoost model to forecast demand for the new product. Correct Answer: B

I think the answer is A and B. The census question and answer will be in text. Use LDA (unsupervised algorithm) which takes the census question/answer and groups them into categories. Use the categorization to group the people and identify similar people. Use the Factorization Machine to group the people. For each person identify if they answer a question or not. Find the total questions they answered and that will be the Target variable. Now the problem is similar to movie recommendation (consider each question a movie and the total number of questions answered will be the Rating). Based on the questions a Person answered, Factorization Machine groups the people. Findings from both the algorithms can be used to compare and identify the people for the social programs.

QUESTION 67 A Machine Learning Specialist is developing a daily ETL workflow containing multiple ETL jobs. The workflow consists of the following processes: • Start the workflow as soon as data is uploaded to Amazon S3. • When all the datasets are available in Amazon S3, start an ETL job to join the uploaded datasets with multiple terabyte-sized datasets already stored in Amazon S3. • Store the results of joining datasets in Amazon S3. • If one of the jobs fails, send a notification to the Administrator. Which configuration will meet these requirements?
