Scientific Data Processing

Google via Qwiklabs

Overview

Big data, machine learning, and scientific data? It sounds like the perfect match. In this advanced-level quest, you will get hands-on practice with GCP services like Big Query, Dataproc, and Tensorflow by applying them to use cases that employ real-life, scientific data sets. By getting experience with tasks like earthquake data analysis and satellite image aggregation, Scientific Data Processing will expand your skill set in big data and machine learning so you can start tackling your own problems across a spectrum of scientific disciplines.

Syllabus

  • Introduction to SQL for BigQuery and Cloud SQL
    • In this lab you will learn fundamental SQL clauses and will get hands on practice running structured queries on BigQuery and Cloud SQL.
  • Rent-a-VM to Process Earthquake Data
    • In this lab you spin up a virtual machine, configure its security, access it remotely, and then carry out the steps of an ingest-transform-and-publish data pipeline manually. This lab is part of a series of labs on processing scientific data.
  • Weather Data in BigQuery
    • In this lab you analyze historical weather observations using BigQuery and use weather data in conjunction with other datasets. This lab is part of a series of labs on processing scientific data.
  • Distributed Image Processing in Cloud Dataproc
    • In this lab, you will learn how to use Apache Spark on Cloud Dataproc to distribute a computationally intensive image processing task onto a cluster of machines.
  • Analyzing Natality Data Using Vertex AI and BigQuery
    • In this lab you analyze a large (137 million rows) natality dataset using Google BigQuery and Cloud Datalab. This lab is part of a series of labs on processing scientific data.
  • Predict Baby Weight with TensorFlow on AI Platform
    • In this lab you train, evaluate, and deploy a machine learning model to predict a baby’s weight. You then send requests to the model to make online predictions. This lab is part of a series of labs on processing scientific data.

  • Asif Zamir
    Very good course. Like these more courses should be offered. Data is going nowhere so it should be processed tactfully and this course is a good beginning to learn data processing.
