Azure Machine Learning datasets (preview) let data scientists and machine learning engineers apply data for ML with confidence. By creating a dataset, you create a reference to the data source location, along with a copy of its metadata. The data remains in its existing location, so no extra storage cost is incurred.
With Azure Machine Learning datasets, you can:
- Keep a single copy of data in your storage referenced by datasets.
- Easily access data during model training without worrying about connection string or data path.
- Share data & collaborate with other users.
- Create and register datasets
- Use Datasets in training
- Use TabularDatasets in automated machine learning training
- Use FileDatasets in image classification
- Use FileDatasets in deep learning with hyperparameter tuning
