I see only two notebooks, is that ok?

Answer: Yes it is ok. There are only two notebooks in your zip file, even thought you see more in the video. The additional notebooks are for the demos, therefore not included in the zip file. We decided this to reduce the number of notebooks and reduce confusion. (Apparently, in has caused instead cause confusion!!)

We will make sure to update the zip file after the conference and add them in so you can go through them at your own pace after the workshop.

I got an error 'IndexError: list index out of range' when I run Jupytor notebook to save the model (Chapter 5: Analyze - [Lab] Building AI Model in Jupyter Notebooks) in step "4.4 Save the Model"

Answer: This Error does not cause a problem with saving the model, and can safely be ignored.

I'm doing the Data Preparation Lab for the 3rd track, but in my Cloud Pak Data project I can only download, promote and remove the csv data; I don't have the option to refine it.

Answer: When you go to the Navigation "hamburger" menu and choose Services -> Services instances do you see "Watson Studio"? If not, you need to create one:

Create Services instance

If you don't see "Watson Studio" under "Services instances", click +Add Service and search for "Watson Studio" and add it. Make sure that it is in the same region as your Cloud Pak for Data service.

What do I do if importing the project into the platform takes a long time?

If you are facing any issues with importing the project into the IBM Cloud Pak for Data as a Service platform, all you need to do is import the relevant notebooks and/or data assets for each lab.

Why do I see the following when I push the python app to IBM Cloud **ERROR** Could not install python

Answer: Frequently, IBM Cloud updates to the newer versions of Python and deprecates the older versions. If you see this error, open the runtime.txt file in your python app folder and bump up the python version to python-3.6.12 or newer as suggested in the error message.

Alternatively, you can remove the runtime.txt if you just want to use whatever is the latest version, thought it is best practice to always know what version of he tools you're using and update the version yourself.

Accessing Files

If you ran the following commands to download the project, navigate to projects then unzip the folder named CreditRiskProject.zip to access the content you need for each lab. All files you need are in the assests folder.

   git clone https://github.com/IBM/credit-risk-workshop-cpd.git
   cd credit-risk-workshop-cpd

If you downloaded the zip folder from the link provided in the Pre-work section, make sure you extract the zip folder after it's downloaded. All files you need are in the assests folder.

Importing Files into the Cloud Pak for Data as a Service platform

• Go the (☰) navigation menu, expand Projects and click on the View all projects link.

(☰) Menu -> Projects

• Click on the New + button on the top.
