Categorizing Customers with SQL Server Machine Learning Services

We will use Python to develop and deploy a K-Means clustering model in SQL Server Machine Learning Services to categorize customer data. The session aims at showcasing the built-in machine learning capabilities of the SQL platform.

Categorical Data Encoding for Regression Models

The session explores the usage and comparison of 5 different text encoding techniques: one-hot, target, hashing, binary and entity embeddings. The methods are needed in cases when text data must be represented numerically before used in a predictive model or neural network. A dataset from a support system is used where the aim is predicting case duration.
