Create ML Models with BigQuery ML

Join Google Software Engineers Aarti and Kevin for a hands-on workshop showcasing how to Create ML Models with BigQuery ML.

BigQuery Machine Learning (BQML, product in beta) enables users to create and execute machine learning models in BigQuery using SQL queries. The goal is to democratise machine learning by enabling SQL practitioners to build models using their existing tools and to increase development speed by eliminating the need for data movement. There is a newly available ecommerce dataset that has millions of Google Analytics records for the Google Merchandise Store loaded into BigQuery. In this workshop you will use this data to create a model that predicts whether a visitor will make a transaction.

These labs are great resources for understanding topics that will appear in the Google Cloud Certified Professional Data Engineer Certification.
