Text Classification in Azure Machine Learning using Word Vectors

October 1, 2021 by

This article discusses how to perform Text classification in Azure Machine using a popular word vector technique in Text Mining. This article is part of the Azure Machine learning series during which we have discussed many aspects such as data cleaning and feature selection techniques of Machine Learning. We further discussed how to perform classification in Azure Machine Learning and we will be utilizing some of those experiences here. Further, we have discussed several machine learning tasks in Azure Machine Learning such as Clustering, Regression, Recommender System and Time Series Anomaly Detection. With respect to text mining, we have discussed techniques such as Language Detection, Named Entity Recognition, LDA, Text Recommendations, etc.

Building Ensemble Classifiers in Azure Machine Learning

September 21, 2021 by

Introduction

This article is the newest addition to the article series of Azure Machine Learning which is Ensemble classifiers in Azure Machine Learning. During this article discussion, we have focused on data cleaning and feature selection techniques of Machine Learning. Further, we have discussed several machine learning tasks in Azure Machine Learning such as Classification, Clustering, Regression, Recommender System and Time Series Anomaly Detection. Further, we discussed AutoML features that are available with Azure Machine Learning Services. In the AutoML techniques, we have identified how to utilize Classification in AutoML. This article is an extension of the classification techniques that we discussed before.

AutoML in Azure Machine Learning for Regression and Time Series

August 16, 2021 by

Introduction

AutoML in Azure Machine Learning is used to build machine learning models on its own as we discussed in the previous article. Over there, we discussed what AutoML is and how to develop classification models in AutoML using Azure Machine Learning. This article will be dedicated to the discussion about building machine learning models using AutoML for Clustering and Time Series tasks.

Multi-language support for SSAS

April 8, 2021 by

Introduction

After discussing many features in SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) in order to carry out much richer analytics activities, we are going to discuss another feature in SSAS named Multi-language support for SSAS. In a previous article, we discussed how to create SSAS OLAP Cubes and how to access the OLAP cube using Excel. Further, we discussed how to include hierarchies in SSAS in order to improve the data analysis capabilities. In addition to those features, we discussed how to create perspectives in OLAP Cubes and how to perform management activities in SSAS.

Elastic Jobs in Azure SQL Database

February 18, 2021 by

Introduction

I have dedicated this article to the topic of Elastic Jobs in Azure SQL Database which is in Public Review. This feature allows you to run scheduled tasks in your Azure SQL Databases. This is similar to SQL Server Agent you have in the On-prem SQL Server versions. However, in Elastic Jobs, you can execute the scheduled tasks in multiple Azure SQL Servers and multiple Databases which is an added advantage when considering the features of SQL Server Agent. Further, this execution performs parallelly.

Dynamic Data Masking in SQL Server

February 2, 2021 by

Introduction

In this article, we will be looking at how to perform and access Dynamic Data Masking in SQL Server. Data Masking is the process of hiding data with different rules. One of the main reasons to apply data masking is to protect Personal Identifiable Information (PII) and sensitive data from unauthorized access. Even when unauthorized users access these data, they will not be able to view the actual values. This article will look at the possibilities of applying Dynamic Data Masking in SQL Server and we will look at how Dynamic Data masking can be applied to the Azure SQL Databases as well.
