Introduction

In this workshop we'll be using the Cloud Pak for Data platform to Analyze Data and Infuse AI into our applications. The goals of this workshop are:

  • Create and a machine learning model using AutoAI

  • Test the deployed model

  • (Optional) Create a Python app to use the model

About this workshop

About the data set

In this workshop we will be using a credit risk / lending scenario. In this scenario, lenders respond to an increased pressure to expand lending to larger and more diverse audiences, by using different approaches to risk modeling. This means going beyond traditional credit data sources to alternative credit sources (i.e. mobile phone plan payment histories, education, etc), which may introduce risk of bias or other unexpected correlations.

The credit risk model that we are exploring in this workshop uses a training data set that contains 20 attributes about each loan applicant. The scenario and model use synthetic data based on the [UCI German Credit dataset](https://archive.ics.uci.edu/ml/datasets/Statlog+(German+Credit+Data)). The data is split into three CSV files and are located in the data directory of the GitHub repository you will download in the pre-work section.
