Welcome to this hands-on project on using Microsoft s Custom Vision service for automated machine learning or AutoML as it s popularly known. In this project, you are going to use Microsoft s drag and drop tool to train your computer to recognize images of dogs and cats. We are going to do all of this without writing a single line of code! To take this guided-project, you do not need a background in computer science, machine learning or coding. The only prerequisite for this project is that you have a Microsoft Azure account. If you don t already have one, you will have to sign up for it. Note: This course works best for learners who are based in the North America region. We re currently working on providing the same experience in other regions.
