Amazon MLS-C01 Exam - Topic 4 Question 97 Discussion

Actual exam question for Amazon's MLS-C01 exam
Question #: 97
Topic #: 4
[All MLS-C01 Questions]

A Machine Learning Specialist observes several performance problems with the training portion of a machine learning solution on Amazon SageMaker The solution uses a large training dataset 2 TB in size and is using the SageMaker k-means algorithm The observed issues include the unacceptable length of time it takes before the training job launches and poor I/O throughput while training the model

What should the Specialist do to address the performance issues with the current solution?

Suggested Answer: A

SageMaker Data Wrangler is a feature of SageMaker Studio that provides an end-to-end solution for importing, preparing, transforming, featurizing, and analyzing data. Data Wrangler includes built-in analyses that help generate visualizations and data insights in a few clicks. One of the built-in analyses is the Quick Model visualization, which can be used to quickly evaluate the data and produce importance scores for each feature. A feature importance score indicates how useful a feature is at predicting a target label. The feature importance score is between [0, 1] and a higher number indicates that the feature is more important to the whole dataset. The Quick Model visualization uses a random forest model to calculate the feature importance for each feature using the Gini importance method. This method measures the total reduction in node impurity (a measure of how well a node separates the classes) that is attributed to splitting on a particular feature. The ML developer can use the Quick Model visualization to obtain the importance scores for each feature of the dataset and use them to feature engineer the dataset. This solution requires the least development effort compared to the other options.

Copying the data to an EFS volume could be worth a try. That might give us better I/O performance than the current setup.

Okay, let's see. The key issues seem to be the long launch time and poor I/O throughput. I'm wondering if compressing the data could help with that.

I'm a bit stumped on this one. The TOGAF document is so comprehensive, and there are a lot of different parts to it. I'll have to review my notes and try to remember where the information about the architecture function is covered. Hopefully, I can narrow it down from there.

Hmm, I think the key here is to find a balance between securing the server and minimizing disruption to other employees. Restarting the server might be the best compromise, but I'll need to double-check the details to be sure.

Option D looks promising - using the Load Balanced Virtual Server Instances and Persistent Virtual Network Configuration patterns together, along with Redundant Storage, seems like it could solve the problem.

I hear you, 2 TB of data is no joke. Maybe the specialist should just print out the whole dataset and train the model by hand - it'd be faster than waiting for SageMaker!

2 TB of data, yikes! That's like trying to train a model on the entire internet. I hope the specialist has a good internet connection, otherwise, they're going to be waiting a while for that job to launch.
