-## Cross validation split options
-### K-Folds Cross Validation
-Use *n_cross_validations* setting to specify the number of cross validations. The training data set will be randomly split into *n_cross_validations* folds of equal size. During each cross validation round, one of the folds will be used for validation of the model trained on the remaining folds. This process repeats for *n_cross_validations* rounds until each fold is used once as validation set. Finally, the average scores accross all *n_cross_validations* rounds will be reported, and the corresponding model will be retrained on the whole training data set.
-
-### Monte Carlo Cross Validation (a.k.a. Repeated Random Sub-Sampling)
-Use *validation_size* to specify the percentage of the training data set that should be used for validation, and use *n_cross_validations* to specify the number of cross validations. During each cross validation round, a subset of size *validation_size* will be randomly selected for validation of the model trained on the remaining data. Finally, the average scores accross all *n_cross_validations* rounds will be reported, and the corresponding model will be retrained on the whole training data set.
-
-### Custom train and validation set
-You can specify seperate train and validation set either through the get_data() or directly to the fit method.
-
-<a name="getdata"></a>

-<a name="preprocessing"></a>
-## Data pre-processing and featurization
-If you use `preprocess=True`, the following data preprocessing steps are performed automatically for you:
-
-1. Dropping high cardinality or no variance features
-    - Features with no useful information are dropped from training and validation sets. These include features with all values missing, same value across all rows or with extremely high cardinality (e.g., hashes, IDs or GUIDs).
-2. Missing value imputation
-    - For numerical features, missing values are imputed with average of values in the column.
-    - For categorical features, missing values are imputed with most frequent value.
-3. Generating additional features
-    - For DateTime features: Year, Month, Day, Day of week, Day of year, Quarter, Week of the year, Hour, Minute, Second.
-    - For Text features: Term frequency based on bi-grams and tri-grams, Count vectorizer.
-4. Transformations and encodings
-    - Numeric features with very few unique values are transformed into categorical features.
+See [Configure automated machine learning experiments](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/machine-learning/service/how-to-configure-auto-train) to learn how more about the the settings and features available for automated machine learning experiments.

+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`.
+4. 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>`. 
+
+## configuration.ipynb fails
+1) For local conda, make sure that you have susccessfully run automl_setup first.
+2) Check that the subscription_id is correct.  You can find the subscription_id in the Azure Portal by selecting All Service and then Subscriptions. The characters "<" and ">" should not be included in the subscription_id value.  For example, `subscription_id = "12345678-90ab-1234-5678-1234567890abcd"` has the valid format.
+3) Check that you have Contributor or Owner access to the Subscription.
+4) Check that the region is one of the supported regions: `eastus2`, `eastus`, `westcentralus`, `southeastasia`, `westeurope`, `australiaeast`, `westus2`, `southcentralus`
+5) Check that you have access to the region using the Azure Portal.
+
+## workspace.from_config fails
+If the call `ws = Workspace.from_config()` fails:
+1) Make sure that you have run the `configuration.ipynb` notebook successfully.
+2) If you are running a notebook from a folder that is not under the folder where you ran `configuration.ipynb`, copy the folder aml_config and the file config.json that it contains to the new folder.  Workspace.from_config reads the config.json for the notebook folder or it parent folder.
+3) If you are switching to a new subscription, resource group, workspace or region, make sure that you run the `configuration.ipynb` notebook again.  Changing config.json directly will only work if the workspace already exists in the specified resource group under the specified subscription.
+4) If you want to change the region, please change the workspace, resource group or subscription.  `Workspace.create` will not create or update a workspace if it already exists, even if the region specified is different.
+
+## Sample notebook fails
+If a sample notebook fails with an error that property, method or library does not exist:
+1) Check that you have selected correct kernel in jupyter notebook.  The kernel is displayed in the top right of the notebook page.  It can be changed using the `Kernel | Change Kernel` menu option.  For Azure Notebooks, it should be `Python 3.6`.  For local conda environments, it should be the conda envioronment name that you specified in automl_setup.  The default is azure_automl.  Note that the kernel is saved as part of the notebook.  So, if you switch to a new conda environment, you will have to select the new kernel in the notebook.
+2) Check that the notebook is for the SDK version that you are using.  You can check the SDK version by executing `azureml.core.VERSION` in a jupyter notebook cell.  You can download previous version of the sample notebooks from GitHub by clicking the `Branch` button, selecting the `Tags` tab and then selecting the version.
+
+## Remote run: DsvmCompute.create fails 
+There are several reasons why the DsvmCompute.create can fail.  The reason is usually in the error message but you have to look at the end of the error message for the detailed reason.  Some common reasons are:
+1) `Compute name is invalid, it should start with a letter, be between 2 and 16 character, and only include letters (a-zA-Z), numbers (0-9) and \'-\'.`  Note that underscore is not allowed in the name.
+2) `The requested VM size xxxxx is not available in the current region.`  You can select a different region or vm_size. 
+
+## Remote run: Unable to establish SSH connection
+AutoML uses the SSH protocol to communicate with remote DSVMs.  This defaults to port 22.  Possible causes for this error are:
+1) The DSVM is not ready for SSH connections.  When DSVM creation completes, the DSVM might still not be ready to acceept SSH connections.  The sample notebooks have a one minute delay to allow for this.
+2) Your Azure Subscription may restrict the IP address ranges that can access the DSVM on port 22.  You can check this in the Azure Portal by selecting the Virtual Machine and then clicking Networking.  The Virtual Machine name is the name that you provided in the notebook plus 10 alpha numeric characters to make the name unique.  The Inbound Port Rules define what can access the VM on specific ports.  Note that there is a priority priority order.  So, a Deny entry with a low priority number will override a Allow entry with a higher priority number.
+
+## Remote run: setup iteration fails
+This is often an issue with the `get_data` method.
+1) Check that the `get_data` method is valid by running it locally.
+2) Make sure that `get_data` isn't referring to any local files.  `get_data` is executed on the remote DSVM.  So, it doesn't have direct access to local data files.  Instead you can store the data files with DataStore.  See [auto-ml-remote-execution-with-datastore.ipynb](remote-execution-with-datastore/auto-ml-remote-execution-with-datastore.ipynb)
+3) You can get to the error log for the setup iteration by clicking the `Click here to see the run in Azure portal` link, click `Back to Experiment`, click on the highest run number and then click on Logs.
+
+## Remote run: disk full
+AutoML creates files under /tmp/azureml_runs for each iteration that it runs.  It creates a folder with the iteration id.  For example: AutoML_9a038a18-77cc-48f1-80fb-65abdbc33abe_93.  Under this, there is a azureml-logs folder, which contains logs.  If you run too many iterations on the same DSVM, these files can fill the disk.
+You can delete the files under /tmp/azureml_runs or just delete the VM and create a new one.
+If your get_data downloads files, make sure the delete them or they can use disk space as well.
+When using DataStore, it is good to specify an absolute path for the files so that they are downloaded just once.  If you specify a relative path, it will download a file for each iteration.
+
+## Remote run: Iterations fail and the log contains "MemoryError"
 This can be caused by insufficient memory on the DSVM.  AutoML loads all training data into memory.  So, the available memory should be more than the training data size.
 If you are using a remote DSVM, memory is needed for each concurrent iteration.  The max_concurrent_iterations setting specifies the maximum concurrent iterations.  For example, if the training data size is 8Gb and max_concurrent_iterations is set to 10, the minimum memory required is at least 80Gb.
 To resolve this issue, allocate a DSVM with more memory or reduce the value specified for max_concurrent_iterations.
 
-## Iterations show as "Not Responding" in the RunDetails widget.
+## Remote run: Iterations show as "Not Responding" in the RunDetails widget.
 This can be caused by too many concurrent iterations for a remote DSVM.  Each concurrent iteration usually takes 100% of a core when it is running.  Some iterations can use multiple cores.  So, the max_concurrent_iterations setting should always be less than the number of cores of the DSVM.
 To resolve this issue, try reducing the value specified for the max_concurrent_iterations setting.

+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 see 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. 
+- 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.
+
+**Create Azure Databricks Cluster:**
+
+Select New Cluster and fill in following detail:
+ - Cluster name: _yourclustername_
+ - Databricks Runtime: Any 4.x runtime.
+ - Python version: **3**
+ - Workers: 2 or higher.  
+
+These settings are only for using Automated Machine Learning on Databricks.
+ - Max. number of **concurrent iterations** in Automated ML settings is **<=** to the number of **worker nodes** in your Databricks cluster.
+ - Worker node VM types: **Memory optimized VM** preferred. 
+ - Uncheck _Enable Autoscaling_
+
+
+It will take few minutes to create the cluster. Please ensure that the cluster state is running before proceeding further.
+
+**Install Azure ML SDK without Automated ML capability on your Azure Databricks cluster**
+
+- Select Import library
+
+- Source: Upload Python Egg or PyPI
+
+- PyPi Name: **azureml-sdk[databricks]**
+
+**Install Azure ML with Automated ML SDK on your Azure Databricks cluster**
+
+- Select Import library
+
+- Source: Upload Python Egg or PyPI
+
+- PyPi Name: **azureml-sdk[automl_databricks]**
+
+**For installation with or without Automated ML**
+
+- Click Install Library
+
+- Do not select _Attach automatically to all clusters_. In case you have selected earlier then you can go to your Home folder and deselect it.
+
+- Select the check box _Attach_ next to your cluster name
+
+(More details on how to attach and detach libs are here - [https://docs.databricks.com/user-guide/libraries.html#attach-a-library-to-a-cluster](https://docs.databricks.com/user-guide/libraries.html#attach-a-library-to-a-cluster) )
+
+- Ensure that there are no errors until Status changes to _Attached_. It may take a couple of minutes.
+
+**Note** - If you have the old build the please deselect it from cluster’s installed libs > move to trash. Install the new build and restart the cluster. And if still there is an issue then detach and reattach your cluster.
+
+iPython Notebooks 1-4 have to be run sequentially after making changes based on your subscription. The corresponding DBC archive contains all the notebooks and can be imported into your Databricks workspace. You can the run notebooks after importing [databricks_amlsdk](Databricks_AMLSDK_1-4_6.dbc) instead of downloading individually.

+Notebooks 1-4 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. Notebook 6 is an Automated ML sample notebook.
+
+For details on SDK concepts, please refer to [notebooks](https://github.com/Azure/MachineLearningNotebooks).
+
+Learn more about [how to use Azure Databricks as a development environment](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/machine-learning/service/how-to-configure-environment#azure-databricks) for Azure Machine Learning service.
+
+You can also use Azure Databricks as a compute target for [training models with an Azure Machine Learning pipeline](https://docs.microsoft.com/machine-learning/service/how-to-set-up-training-targets#databricks).

+## Azure Machine Learning service Tutorial
+
+Complete these tutorials to learn how to train and deploy models using Azure Machine Learning services and Python SDK. These Notebooks accompany the [tutorial articles starting here]([https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/machine-learning/service/tutorial-train-models-with-aml]).
+
+As a pre-requisite, run the [configuration Notebook](../configuration.ipynb) notebook first to set up your Azure ML Workspace. Then, run the notebooks in following recommended order.
+
+ * [Tutorial #1](img-classification-part1-training.ipynb): Train an image classification model with Azure Machine Learning
+ * [Tutorial #2](img-classification-part2-deploy.ipynb):  Deploy an image classification model from first tutorial in Azure Container Instance (ACI)
+ * [Tutorial #3](regression-part1-data-prep.ipynb): Use data preparation.
+
+ Also find quickstarts and how-tos on the [official documentation site for Azure Machine Learning service](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/machine-learning/service/).
