Course Overview
This course is an introduction to building forecasting solutions with Google Cloud. You start with sequence models and time series foundations. You then walk through an end-to-end workflow: from data preparation to model development and deployment with Vertex AI. Finally, you learn the lessons and tips from a retail use case and apply the knowledge by building your own forecasting models.
Who should attend
Professional data analysts, data scientists, and ML engineers who want to build end-to-end high performance forecasting solutions on Google Cloud and add automation to the workflow.
