 ## How to navigate and use the example notebooks?
 If you are using an Azure Machine Learning Notebook VM, you are all set. Otherwise, you should always run the [Configuration](./configuration.ipynb) notebook first when setting up a notebook library on a new machine or in a new environment. It configures your notebook library to connect to an Azure Machine Learning workspace, and sets up your workspace and compute to be used by many of the other examples. 
+This [index](./index.md) should assist in navigating the Azure Machine Learning notebook samples and encourage efficient retrieval of topics and content.

This example uses the well-known adult census dataset. For the purposes of this notebook, we shall treat this as a loan decision problem. 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. For such discussions, please [refer to the Fairlearn website](http://fairlearn.github.io/).\n",

This produces a set of models, and we will view these in a dashboard both locally and in the Azure Machine Learning Studio.\n",

+There were package changes in automated machine learning version 1.0.76, which require the previous version to be uninstalled before upgrading to the new version.
+If you have manually upgraded from a version of automated machine learning before 1.0.76 to 1.0.76 or later, you may get the error:

+## KeyError: 'brand' when running AutoML on local compute or Azure Databricks cluster**
+If a new environment was created after 10 June 2020 using SDK 1.7.0 or lower, training may fail with the above error due to an update in the py-cpuinfo package. (Environments created on or before 10 June 2020 are unaffected, as well as experiments run on remote compute as cached training images are used.) To work around this issue, either of the two following steps can be taken:
+
+1) Update the SDK version to 1.8.0 or higher (this will also downgrade py-cpuinfo to 5.0.0):
+`pip install --upgrade azureml-sdk[automl]`
+
+2) Downgrade the installed version of py-cpuinfo to 5.0.0:
+`pip install py-cpuinfo==5.0.0`

 ## 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.

We will create two pipelines, the first one to demonstrate a training dataset that gets updated over time. We leverage time-series capabilities of `TabularDataset` to achieve this. The second pipeline utilizes pipeline `Schedule` to trigger continuous retraining. \n",

+# Experimental Notebooks for Automated ML
+Notebooks listed in this folder are leveraging experimental features. Namespaces or function signitures may change in future SDK releases. The notebooks published here will reflect the latest supported APIs. All of these notebooks can run on a client-only installation of the Automated ML SDK.
+The client only installation doesn't contain any of the machine learning libraries, such as scikit-learn, xgboost, or tensorflow, making it much faster to install and is less likely to conflict with any packages in an existing environment. However, since the ML libraries are not available locally, models cannot be downloaded and loaded directly in the client. To replace the functionality of having models locally, these notebooks also demonstrate the ModelProxy feature which will allow you to submit a predict/forecast to the training environment. 
+
+<a name="localconda"></a>
+## Setup using a Local Conda environment
+
+To run these notebook on your own notebook server, use these installation instructions.
+The instructions below will install everything you need and then start a Jupyter notebook.
+If you would like to use a lighter-weight version of the client that does not install all of the machine learning libraries locally, you can leverage the [experimental notebooks.](experimental/README.md)
+
+### 1. Install mini-conda from [here](https://conda.io/miniconda.html), choose 64-bit Python 3.7 or higher.
+- **Note**: if you already have conda installed, you can keep using it but it should be version 4.4.10 or later (as shown by: conda -V).  If you have a previous version installed, you can update it using the command: conda update conda.
+There's no need to install mini-conda specifically.
+
+### 2. Downloading the sample notebooks
+- Download the sample notebooks from [GitHub](https://github.com/Azure/MachineLearningNotebooks) as zip and extract the contents to a local directory.  The automated ML sample notebooks are in the "automated-machine-learning" folder.
+
+### 3. Setup a new conda environment
+The **automl_setup_thin_client** script creates a new conda environment, installs the necessary packages, configures the widget and starts a jupyter notebook. It takes the conda environment name as an optional parameter.  The default conda environment name is azure_automl_experimental.  The exact command depends on the operating system.  See the specific sections below for Windows, Mac and Linux.  It can take about 10 minutes to execute.
+
+Packages installed by the **automl_setup** script:
+    <ul><li>python</li><li>nb_conda</li><li>matplotlib</li><li>numpy</li><li>cython</li><li>urllib3</li><li>pandas</li><li>azureml-sdk</li><li>azureml-widgets</li><li>pandas-ml</li></ul>
+
+For more details refer to the [automl_env_thin_client.yml](./automl_env_thin_client.yml)
+## Windows
+Start an **Anaconda Prompt** window, cd to the **how-to-use-azureml/automated-machine-learning/experimental** folder where the sample notebooks were extracted and then run:
+```
+automl_setup_thin_client
+```
+## Mac
+Install "Command line developer tools" if it is not already installed (you can use the command: `xcode-select --install`).
+
+Start a Terminal windows, cd to the **how-to-use-azureml/automated-machine-learning/experimental** folder where the sample notebooks were extracted and then run:
+
+```
+bash automl_setup_thin_client_mac.sh
+```
+
+## Linux
+cd to the **how-to-use-azureml/automated-machine-learning/experimental** folder where the sample notebooks were extracted and then run:
+
+```
+bash automl_setup_thin_client_linux.sh
+```
+
+### 4. Running configuration.ipynb
+- Before running any samples you next need to run the configuration notebook. Click on [configuration](../../configuration.ipynb) notebook
+- Execute the cells in the notebook to Register Machine Learning Services Resource Provider and create a workspace. (*instructions in notebook*)
+
+### 5. Running Samples
+- Please make sure you use the Python [conda env:azure_automl_experimental] kernel when trying the sample Notebooks.
+- Follow the instructions in the individual notebooks to explore various features in automated ML.
+
+### 6. Starting jupyter notebook manually
+To start your Jupyter notebook manually, use:
+
+```
+conda activate azure_automl
+jupyter notebook
+```
+
+or on Mac or Linux:
+
+```
+source activate azure_automl
+jupyter notebook
+```
+
+
+<a name="samples"></a>
+# Automated ML SDK Sample Notebooks
+
+- [auto-ml-regression-model-proxy.ipynb](regression-model-proxy/auto-ml-regression-model-proxy.ipynb)
+    - Dataset: Hardware Performance Dataset
+    - Simple example of using automated ML for regression
+    - Uses azure compute for training
+    - Uses ModelProxy for submitting prediction to training environment on azure compute
+
+<a name="documentation"></a>
+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.
+
+<a name="pythoncommand"></a>
+# Running using python command
+Jupyter notebook provides a File / Download as / Python (.py) option for saving the notebook as a Python file.
+You can then run this file using the python command.
+However, on Windows the file needs to be modified before it can be run.
+The following condition must be added to the main code in the file:
+
+    if __name__ == "__main__":
+
+The main code of the file must be indented so that it is under this condition.

For instance, the NYC energy demand data has an hourly frequency. A decision that requires a demand forecast to the hour is unlikely to be made weeks or months in advance, particularly if we expect weather to be a strong determinant of demand.
