We will pretend that the label indicates whether or not each individual repaid a loan in the past. We will use the data to train a predictor to predict whether previously unseen individuals will repay a loan or not. The assumption is that the model predictions are used to decide whether an individual should be offered a loan. Its purpose is purely illustrative of a workflow including a fairness dashboard - in particular, we do **not** include a full discussion of the detailed issues which arise when considering fairness in machine learning.

 ## automl_setup fails
 1. On Windows, make sure that you are running automl_setup from an Anconda Prompt window rather than a regular cmd window.  You can launch the "Anaconda Prompt" window by hitting the Start button and typing "Anaconda Prompt".  If you don't see the application "Anaconda Prompt", you might not have conda or mini conda installed.  In that case, you can install it [here](https://conda.io/miniconda.html)
 2. Check that you have conda 64-bit installed rather than 32-bit.  You can check this with the command `conda info`.  The `platform` should be `win-64` for Windows or `osx-64` for Mac.
-3. Check that you have conda 4.4.10 or later.  You can check the version with the command `conda -V`.  If you have a previous version installed, you can update it using the command: `conda update conda`.
+3. Check that you have conda 4.7.8 or later.  You can check the version with the command `conda -V`.  If you have a previous version installed, you can update it using the command: `conda update conda`.
 4. On Linux, if the error is `gcc: error trying to exec 'cc1plus': execvp: No such file or directory`, install build essentials using the command `sudo apt-get install build-essential`.
 5. Pass a new name as the first parameter to automl_setup so that it creates a new conda environment. You can view existing conda environments using `conda env list` and remove them with `conda env remove -n <environmentname>`.

The supported imputing methods for feature columns are mean, median, most frequent, constant and ffill (forward fill). This customization can be used for the scenario that our customers know which imputation methods fit best to the input data. For instance, some datasets use NaN to represent 0 which the correct behavior should impute all the missing value with 0. To achieve this behavior, these columns need to be configured as constant imputation with `fill_value` 0.\n",

-Azure Databricks is a managed Spark offering on Azure and customers already use it for advanced analytics. It provides a collaborative Notebook based environment with CPU or GPU based compute cluster. 
-
-In this section, you will find sample notebooks on how to use Azure Machine Learning SDK with Azure Databricks. You can train a model using Spark MLlib and then deploy the model to ACI/AKS from within Azure Databricks. You can also use Automated ML capability (**public preview**) of Azure ML SDK with Azure Databricks. 
-
-- Customers who use Azure Databricks for advanced analytics can now use the same cluster to run experiments with or without automated machine learning. 
-- You can keep the data within the same cluster. 
-- You can leverage the local worker nodes with autoscale and auto termination capabilities. 
-- You can use multiple cores of your Azure Databricks cluster to perform simultenous training. 
-- You can further tune the model generated by automated machine learning if you chose to. 
-- Every run (including the best run) is available as a pipeline, which you can tune further if needed. 
-- The model trained using Azure Databricks can be registered in Azure ML SDK workspace and then deployed to Azure managed compute (ACI or AKS) using the Azure Machine learning SDK.
-
-Please follow our [Azure doc](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/machine-learning/service/how-to-configure-environment#azure-databricks) to install the sdk in your Azure Databricks cluster before trying any of the sample notebooks.
-
-**Single file** - 
-The following archive contains all the sample notebooks. You can the run notebooks after importing [DBC](Databricks_AMLSDK_1-4_6.dbc) in your Databricks workspace instead of downloading individually.
-
-Notebooks 1-4 have to be run sequentially & are related to Income prediction experiment based on this [dataset](https://archive.ics.uci.edu/ml/datasets/adult) and demonstrate how to data prep, train and operationalize a Spark ML model with Azure ML Python SDK from within Azure Databricks.

-# Adding an init script to an Azure Databricks cluster
+# Automated ML introduction
+Automated machine learning (automated ML) builds high quality machine learning models for you by automating model and hyperparameter selection. Bring a labelled dataset that you want to build a model for, automated ML will give you a high quality machine learning model that you can use for predictions.
 
-The [azureml-cluster-init.sh](./azureml-cluster-init.sh) script configures the environment to
-1. Install the latest AutoML library
 
-To create the Azure Databricks cluster-scoped init script
+If you are new to Data Science, automated ML will help you get jumpstarted by simplifying machine learning model building. It abstracts you from needing to perform model selection, hyperparameter selection and in one step creates a high quality trained model for you to use.
+
+If you are an experienced data scientist, automated ML will help increase your productivity by intelligently performing the model and hyperparameter selection for your training and generates high quality models much quicker than manually specifying several combinations of the parameters and running training jobs. Automated ML provides visibility and access to all the training jobs and the performance characteristics of the models to help you further tune the pipeline if you desire.

+Azure Synapse Analytics is a limitless analytics service that brings together data integration, enterprise data warehousing, and big data analytics. It gives you the freedom to query data on your terms, using either serverless or dedicated resources—at scale. Azure Synapse brings these worlds together with a unified experience to ingest, explore, prepare, manage, and serve data for immediate BI and machine learning needs. A core offering within Azure Synapse Analytics are serverless Apache Spark pools enhanced for big data workloads.  
+
+Synapse in Aml integration is for customers who want to use Apache Spark in Azure Synapse Analytics to prepare data at scale in Azure ML before training their ML model. This will allow customers to work on their end-to-end ML lifecycle including large-scale data preparation, model training and deployment within Azure ML workspace without having to use suboptimal tools for machine learning or switch between multiple tools for data preparation and model training. The ability to perform all ML tasks within Azure ML will reduce time required for customers to iterate on a machine learning project which typically includes multiple rounds of data preparation and training.
+
+In the public preview, the capabilities are provided:
+
+- Link Azure Synapse Analytics workspace to Azure Machine Learning workspace (via ARM, UI or SDK) 
+- Attach Apache Spark pools powered by Azure Synapse Analytics as Azure Machine Learning compute targets (via ARM, UI or SDK) 
+- Launch Apache Spark sessions in notebooks and perform interactive data exploration and preparation.  This interactive experience leverages Apache Spark magic and customers will have session-level Conda support to install packages. 
+- Productionize ML pipelines by leveraging Apache Spark pools to pre-process big data 
+
+# Using Synapse in Azure machine learning
+
+## Create synapse resources
+
+Follow up the documents to create Synapse workspace and resource-setup.sh is available for you to create the resources.
+
+- Create from [Portal](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/synapse-analytics/quickstart-create-workspace)
+- Create from [Cli](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/synapse-analytics/quickstart-create-workspace-cli)
+
+Follow up the documents to create Synapse spark pool

+- Create from [Cli](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cli/azure/ext/synapse/synapse/spark/pool?view=azure-cli-latest)
+
+## Link Synapse Workspace
+
+Make sure you are the owner of synapse workspace so that you can link synapse workspace into AML.
+You can run resource-setup.py to link the synapse workspace and attach compute
+
+```python
+from azureml.core import Workspace
+ws = Workspace.from_config()
+
+from azureml.core import LinkedService, SynapseWorkspaceLinkedServiceConfiguration
+synapse_link_config = SynapseWorkspaceLinkedServiceConfiguration(
+    subscription_id="<subscription id>",
+    resource_group="<resource group",
+    name="<synapse workspace name>"
+)
+
+linked_service = LinkedService.register(
+    workspace=ws,
+    name='<link name>',
+    linked_service_config=synapse_link_config)
+
+```
+
+## Attach synapse spark pool as AzureML compute
+
+```python
+
+from azureml.core.compute import SynapseCompute, ComputeTarget
+spark_pool_name = "<spark pool name>"
+attached_synapse_name = "<attached compute name>"
+
+attach_config = SynapseCompute.attach_configuration(
+        linked_service,
+        type="SynapseSpark",
+        pool_name=spark_pool_name)
+
+synapse_compute=ComputeTarget.attach(
+        workspace=ws,
+        name=attached_synapse_name,
+        attach_configuration=attach_config)
+
+synapse_compute.wait_for_completion()
+```
+
+## Set up permission
+
+Grant Spark admin role to system assigned identity of the linked service so that the user can submit experiment run or pipeline run from AML workspace to synapse spark pool.
+
+Grant Spark admin role to the specific user so that the user can start spark session to synapse spark pool.
+
+You can get the system assigned identity information by running
+
+```python
+print(linked_service.system_assigned_identity_principal_id)
+```
+
+- Launch synapse studio of the synapse workspace and grant linked service MSI "Synapse Apache Spark administrator" role.
+
+- In azure portal grant linked service MSI "Storage Blob Data Contributor" role of the primary adlsgen2 account of synapse workspace to use the library management feature.
