End-to-end samples: Industry accelerators

The industry accelerators provided by IBM are a set of end-to-end solutions that you can run as examples or customize them to address common business issues.

Overview of industry accelerators

Each industry accelerator is designed to help you solve a specific business problem, whether it's predicting how customers will respond to a promotion or understanding customer attrition. Browse the accelerators in the Cloud Pak for Data as a Service Resource hub and download the ones you want.

Most accelerators include a Sample project with everything you need to analyze data, build a model, and display results. The sample projects include detailed instructions, data sets, Jupyter notebooks, models, and R Shiny applications. Most accelerators also include business terms for data governance. Use these sample projects as templates for your own data science needs to learn specific techniques, or to demonstrate the capabilities of Watson Studio and other Cloud Pak for Data as a Service services.

The process of using an industry accelerator is illustrated in this graphic.

Industry accelerator process

Sample project for an accelerator

When you download an accelerator, you get a project that contains the assets that you need to build and train the models that are associated with the accelerator.

Audience

Data scientists or business analysts who analyze data and build models to solve business problems.

Contents

A typical accelerator contains the following:

  • A readme file that provides instructions.
  • CSV files that contain the sample data.
  • Python 3.7 notebooks to train and score the models and associated Python scripts to prepare and transform the data for modeling. The notebooks create API endpoints to expose the output for the R Shiny application.
  • Machine learning models that are designed to help you find answers to the business problems described by the accelerator.
  • (Some accelerators) An interactive dashboard to show the results of the model.

Requirements

All accelerators that have sample projects require the Watson Studio service and one or more of these services:

  • Watson Machine Learning
  • IBM Knowledge Catalog
