Question#21

A Machine Learning Specialist is working with a large cybersecurity company that manages security events in real time for companies around the world. The cybersecurity company wants to design a solution that will allow it to use machine learning to score malicious events as anomalies on the data as it is being ingested. The company also wants be able to save the results in its data lake for later processing and analysis.
What is the MOST efficient way to accomplish these tasks?

  • A. Ingest the data using Amazon Kinesis Data Firehose, and use Amazon Kinesis Data Analytics Random Cut Forest (RCF) for anomaly detection. Then use Kinesis Data Firehose to stream the results to Amazon S3.
  • B. Ingest the data into Apache Spark Streaming using Amazon EMR, and use Spark MLlib with k-means to perform anomaly detection. Then store the results in an Apache Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS) using Amazon EMR with a replication factor of three as the data lake.
  • C. Ingest the data and store it in Amazon S3. Use AWS Batch along with the AWS Deep Learning AMIs to train a k-means model using TensorFlow on the data in Amazon S3.
  • D. Ingest the data and store it in Amazon S3. Have an AWS Glue job that is triggered on demand transform the new data. Then use the built-in Random Cut Forest (RCF) model within Amazon SageMaker to detect anomalies in the data.

Each product is labeled as belonging to one of six categories such as books, games, electronics, and movies.
Which model should be used for categorizing new products using the provided dataset for training?

  • A. AnXGBoost model where the objective parameter is set to multi:softmax
  • B. A deep convolutional neural network (CNN) with a softmax activation function for the last layer
  • C. A regression forest where the number of trees is set equal to the number of product categories
  • D. A DeepAR forecasting model based on a recurrent neural network (RNN)

Which tool should be used to improve the validation accuracy?

  • A. Amazon Comprehend syntax analysis and entity detection
  • B. Amazon SageMaker BlazingText cbow mode
  • C. Natural Language Toolkit (NLTK) stemming and stop word removal
  • D. Scikit-leam term frequency-inverse document frequency (TF-IDF) vectorizer

Question#25

Machine Learning Specialist is building a model to predict future employment rates based on a wide range of economic factors. While exploring the data, the
Specialist notices that the magnitude of the input features vary greatly. The Specialist does not want variables with a larger magnitude to dominate the model.
What should the Specialist do to prepare the data for model training?

  • A. Apply quantile binning to group the data into categorical bins to keep any relationships in the data by replacing the magnitude with distribution.
  • B. Apply the Cartesian product transformation to create new combinations of fields that are independent of the magnitude.
  • C. Apply normalization to ensure each field will have a mean of 0 and a variance of 1 to remove any significant magnitude.
  • D. Apply the orthogonal sparse bigram (OSB) transformation to apply a fixed-size sliding window to generate new features of a similar magnitude.

Question#26

A Machine Learning Specialist must build out a process to query a dataset on Amazon S3 using Amazon Athena. The dataset contains more than 800,000 records stored as plaintext CSV files. Each record contains 200 columns and is approximately 1.5 MB in size. Most queries will span 5 to 10 columns only.
How should the Machine Learning Specialist transform the dataset to minimize query runtime?

  • A. Convert the records to Apache Parquet format.
  • B. Convert the records to JSON format.
  • C. Convert the records to GZIP CSV format.
  • D. Convert the records to XML format.
Discover Answer Hide Answer

A
Using compressions will reduce the amount of data scanned by Amazon Athena, and also reduce your S3 bucket storage. It's a Win-Win for your AWS bill.
Supported formats: GZIP, LZO, SNAPPY (Parquet) and ZLIB.

Question#27

A Machine Learning Specialist is developing a daily ETL workflow containing multiple ETL jobs. The workflow consists of the following processes:
* Start the workflow as soon as data is uploaded to Amazon S3.
* When all the datasets are available in Amazon S3, start an ETL job to join the uploaded datasets with multiple terabyte-sized datasets already stored in Amazon
S3.
* Store the results of joining datasets in Amazon S3.
* If one of the jobs fails, send a notification to the Administrator.
Which configuration will meet these requirements?

  • A. Use AWS Lambda to trigger an AWS Step Functions workflow to wait for dataset uploads to complete in Amazon S3. Use AWS Glue to join the datasets. Use an Amazon CloudWatch alarm to send an SNS notification to the Administrator in the case of a failure.
  • B. Develop the ETL workflow using AWS Lambda to start an Amazon SageMaker notebook instance. Use a lifecycle configuration script to join the datasets and persist the results in Amazon S3. Use an Amazon CloudWatch alarm to send an SNS notification to the Administrator in the case of a failure.
  • C. Develop the ETL workflow using AWS Batch to trigger the start of ETL jobs when data is uploaded to Amazon S3. Use AWS Glue to join the datasets in Amazon S3. Use an Amazon CloudWatch alarm to send an SNS notification to the Administrator in the case of a failure.
  • D. Use AWS Lambda to chain other Lambda functions to read and join the datasets in Amazon S3 as soon as the data is uploaded to Amazon S3. Use an Amazon CloudWatch alarm to send an SNS notification to the Administrator in the case of a failure.

* 43 different mouthwash variants
The entire sales history of all these products is available in Amazon S3. Currently, the company is using custom-built autoregressive integrated moving average
(ARIMA) models to forecast demand for these products. The company wants to predict the demand for a new product that will soon be launched.
Which solution should a Machine Learning Specialist apply?

  • A. Train a custom ARIMA model to forecast demand for the new product.
  • B. Train an Amazon SageMaker DeepAR algorithm to forecast demand for the new product.
  • C. Train an Amazon SageMaker k-means clustering algorithm to forecast demand for the new product.
  • D. Train a custom XGBoost model to forecast demand for the new product.
Discover Answer Hide Answer

B
The Amazon SageMaker DeepAR forecasting algorithm is a supervised learning algorithm for forecasting scalar (one-dimensional) time series using recurrent neural networks (RNN). Classical forecasting methods, such as autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) or exponential smoothing (ETS), fit a single model to each individual time series. They then use that model to extrapolate the time series into the future.
