Using Azure Automated ML
In this hands-on lab, you are working as a data scientist for Sam's Taxi, a taxi cab company. You’ve been asked to come up with a model that can be used to predict fare prices based on length of drive and time it takes to drive there. You’ll use Azure Machine Learning studio and Azure automated machine learning to create a regression model that will predict fare prices. You’ll also get a chance to deploy the model to an Azure Container instance.
