A Machine Learning Specialist is building a prediction model for a large number of features using linear models, such as linear regression and logistic regression. During exploratory data analysis, the Specialist observes that many features are highly correlated with each other. This may make the model unstable. What should be done to reduce the impact of having such a large number of features?

A Machine Learning Specialist is implementing a full Bayesian network on a dataset that describes public transit in New York City. One of the random variables is discrete, and represents the number of minutes New Yorkers wait for a bus given that the buses cycle every 10 minutes, with a mean of 3 minutes. Which prior probability distribution should the ML Specialist use for this variable?

A Data Science team within a large company uses Amazon SageMaker notebooks to access data stored in Amazon S3 buckets. The IT Security team is concerned that internet-enabled notebook instances create a security vulnerability where malicious code running on the instances could compromise data privacy. The company mandates that all instances stay within a secured VPC with no internet access, and data communication traffic must stay within the AWS network. How should the Data Science team configure the notebook instance placement to meet these requirements?

A Machine Learning Specialist has created a deep learning neural network model that performs well on the training data but performs poorly on the test data. Which of the following methods should the Specialist consider using to correct this? (Choose three.)

A Data Scientist needs to create a serverless ingestion and analytics solution for high-velocity, real-time streaming data. The ingestion process must buffer and convert incoming records from JSON to a query-optimized, columnar format without data loss. The output datastore must be highly available, and Analysts must be able to run SQL queries against the data and connect to existing business intelligence dashboards. Which solution should the Data Scientist build to satisfy the requirements?

An online reseller has a large, multi-column dataset with one column missing 30% of its data. A Machine Learning Specialist believes that certain columns in the dataset could be used to reconstruct the missing data. Which reconstruction approach should the Specialist use to preserve the integrity of the dataset?

A company is setting up an Amazon SageMaker environment. The corporate data security policy does not allow communication over the internet. How can the company enable the Amazon SageMaker service without enabling direct internet access to Amazon SageMaker notebook instances?

A Machine Learning Specialist is training a model to identify the make and model of vehicles in images. The Specialist wants to use transfer learning and an existing model trained on images of general objects. The Specialist collated a large custom dataset of pictures containing different vehicle makes and models. What should the Specialist do to initialize the model to re-train it with the custom data?

An office security agency conducted a successful pilot using 100 cameras installed at key locations within the main office. Images from the cameras were uploaded to Amazon S3 and tagged using Amazon Rekognition, and the results were stored in Amazon ES. The agency is now looking to expand the pilot into a full production system using thousands of video cameras in its office locations globally. The goal is to identify activities performed by non-employees in real time Which solution should the agency consider?

A Marketing Manager at a pet insurance company plans to launch a targeted marketing campaign on social media to acquire new customers. Currently, the company has the following data in Amazon Aurora: • Profiles for all past and existing customers • Profiles for all past and existing insured pets • Policy-level information • Premiums received • Claims paid What steps should be taken to implement a machine learning model to identify potential new customers on social media?

A manufacturing company has a large set of labeled historical sales data. The manufacturer would like to predict how many units of a particular part should be produced each quarter. Which machine learning approach should be used to solve this problem?

A financial services company is building a robust serverless data lake on Amazon S3. The data lake should be flexible and meet the following requirements: • Support querying old and new data on Amazon S3 through Amazon Athena and Amazon Redshift Spectrum. • Support event-driven ETL pipelines • Provide a quick and easy way to understand metadata Which approach meets these requirements?

A company's Machine Learning Specialist needs to improve the training speed of a time-series forecasting model using TensorFlow. The training is currently implemented on a single-GPU machine and takes approximately 23 hours to complete. The training needs to be run daily. The model accuracy is acceptable, but the company anticipates a continuous increase in the size of the training data and a need to update the model on an hourly, rather than a daily, basis. The company also wants to minimize coding effort and infrastructure changes. What should the Machine Learning Specialist do to the training solution to allow it to scale for future demand?

Which of the following metrics should a Machine Learning Specialist generally use to compare/evaluate machine learning classification models against each other?

A company is running a machine learning prediction service that generates 100 TB of predictions every day. A Machine Learning Specialist must generate a visualization of the daily precision-recall curve from the predictions, and forward a read-only version to the Business team. Which solution requires the LEAST coding effort?

A Machine Learning Specialist is preparing data for training on Amazon SageMaker. The Specialist is using one of the SageMaker built-in algorithms for the training. The dataset is stored in .CSV format and is transformed into a numpy.array, which appears to be negatively affecting the speed of the training. What should the Specialist do to optimize the data for training on SageMaker?

A Machine Learning Specialist is required to build a supervised image-recognition model to identify a cat. The ML Specialist performs some tests and records the following results for a neural network-based image classifier: Total number of images available = 1,000 Test set images = 100 (constant test set) The ML Specialist notices that, in over 75% of the misclassified images, the cats were held upside down by their owners. Which techniques can be used by the ML Specialist to improve this specific test error?

A Machine Learning Specialist needs to be able to ingest streaming data and store it in Apache Parquet files for exploration and analysis. Which of the following services would both ingest and store this data in the correct format?

A data scientist has explored and sanitized a dataset in preparation for the modeling phase of a supervised learning task. The statistical dispersion can vary widely between features, sometimes by several orders of magnitude. Before moving on to the modeling phase, the data scientist wants to ensure that the prediction performance on the production data is as accurate as possible. Which sequence of steps should the data scientist take to meet these requirements?

A Machine Learning Specialist is assigned a TensorFlow project using Amazon SageMaker for training, and needs to continue working for an extended period with no Wi-Fi access. Which approach should the Specialist use to continue working?
