Example Templates

Oracle Machine Learning provides you the following notebook Example templates that are based on different machine learning algorithms. The Example templates are processed in Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse Cloud (ADWC).

You can create your notebook based on any of these templates:

Figure 3-1 Example Templates

• Anomaly Detection: Use the Anomaly Detection Example Template notebook to detect anomalous records, customers or transactions in your data. This template uses the unsupervised learning algorithm 1-Class Support Vector Machine. The notebook template builds a 1-Class Support Vector Machine (SVM) model.
• Association Rules: Use the Association Rules Example Template notebook for market basket analysis of your data, or to detect co-occurring items, failures or events in your data. This template uses the apriori Association Rules model using the SH schema data (SH.SALES).
• Attribute Importance: Use the Attribute Importance Example template notebook to identify key attributes that have maximum influence over the target attribute. The target attribute in the build data of a supervised model is the attribute that you want to predict. The template builds an Attribute Importance model using the SH schema data.
• Classification Prediction Model: Use the Classification Prediction Model Example Template notebook for predicting customer behavior and similar predictions. The template builds and applies the classification algorithm Decision Tree to build a Classification model based on the relationships between the predictor values and the target values. The template uses the SH schema data.
• Clustering: Use the Clustering Example Template notebook to identify natural clusters in your data. The notebook template uses the unsupervised learning k-Means algorithm on the SH schema data.
• My First Notebook: Use the My First Notebook Example Template notebook for basic machine learning functions, data selection and data viewing. This template uses the SH schema data.
• Regression: Use the Regression Example Template notebook to predict numerical values. This template uses multiple regression algorithms such as Generalized Linear Models (GLM).
• Statistical Function: Use the Statistical Function Example Template notebook for descriptive and comparative statistical functions. The notebook template uses SH schema data.
