35 Q & A for SageMaker built-in algorithms
The AWS Machine Learning – Speciality certification exam (MLS-C01) tests your abilities to select the correct answer to real life scenarios. 36% of the questions in the MLS-C01 exam will be from Domain 3. These SageMaker built-in algorithms are part of Sub-domain 3.2, Select the appropriate models for a given Machine Learning problem. Sub-domain 3.2 describes SageMaker’s 17 built-in algorithms, their features and how they can be chosen to solve a given problem. Each of the SageMaker built-in algorithms is described with the same level of detail as the exam questions in the Study Guides organised by the most significant paradigm or data processed. There are four Study Guides, as shown in this table:
Main paradigm / data | Supervised | Unsupervised | Text | Images |
Number of algorithms | 5 | 5 | 4 | 3 |
The table below shows SageMaker built-in algorithms listed in alphabetical order with their paradigm or the data type they process.
