Azure AI Gallery is a community-driven site for discovering and sharing solutions built with Azure AI. The Gallery has a variety of resources that you can use to develop your own analytics solutions.

The Azure AI Gallery contains a number of different resources that have been contributed by Microsoft and members of the data science community. These include:

  • Experiments - The Gallery contains a wide variety of experiments that have been developed in Machine Learning Studio (classic). These range from quick proof-of-concept experiments that demonstrate a specific machine learning technique, to fully-developed solutions for complex machine learning problems.
  • Tutorials - A number of tutorials are available to walk you through machine learning technologies and concepts, or to describe advanced methods for solving various machine learning problems.
  • Collections - A collection allows you to group together experiments, APIs, and other Gallery resources that address a specific solution or concept.
  • Custom Modules - You can download custom modules into your Studio (classic) workspace to use in your own experiments.

Discover and contribute

Anyone can browse and search the different types of resources in the Gallery that have been contributed by Microsoft and the data science community. Use these resources to learn more and get a head start on solving your own data analysis problems.

You can easily find recently published and popular resources in the Gallery, or you can search by name, tags, algorithms, and other attributes. Click Browse all in the Gallery header, and then select search refinements on the left of the page and enter search terms at the top. View contributions from a particular author by clicking the author name from within any of the tiles. You can comment, provide feedback, or ask questions through the comments section on each resource page. You can even share a resource of interest with friends or colleagues using the share capabilities of LinkedIn or Twitter, or by emailing a link.

When you sign in you become a member of the Gallery community. This allows you to download resources or contribute your own Gallery items so that others can benefit from the solutions you've discovered.

You can download experiments, custom modules to use in developing your own analytics solutions. You can contribute experiments, tutorials, and collections to the Gallery.

To use an imported custom module:

  1. Create an experiment or open an existing experiment.
  2. To expand the list of custom modules in your workspace, in the module palette select Custom. The module palette is to the left of the experiment canvas.
  3. Select the module that you imported and drag it to your experiment.

Contribute experiments

To demonstrate analytics techniques, or to give others a jump-start on their solutions, you can contribute experiments you've developed in Studio (classic). As others come across your contribution in the Gallery, you can follow the number of views and downloads of your contribution. Users can also add comments and share your contributions with other members of the data science community. And you can log in with a discussion tool such as Disqus to receive notifications for comments on your contributions.

  1. Open your experiment in Studio (classic).

  2. In the list of actions below the experiment canvas, select Publish to Gallery.

  3. In the Gallery, enter a Name and Tags that are descriptive. Highlight the techniques you used or the real-world problem you're solving. An example of a descriptive experiment title is "Binary Classification: Twitter Sentiment Analysis."

  4. In the SUMMARY box, enter a summary of your experiment. Briefly describe the problem the experiment solves, and how you approached it.

  5. In the DETAILED DESCRIPTION box, describe the steps you took in each part of your experiment. Some useful topics to include are:

    • Experiment graph screenshot
    • Data sources and explanation
    • Data processing
    • Feature engineering
    • Model description
    • Results and evaluation of model performance

    You can use markdown to format your description. To see how your entries on the experiment description page will look when the experiment is published, select Preview.

    Tip

    The text boxes provided for markdown editing and preview are small. We recommend that you write your experiment documentation in a markdown editor (such as Visual Studio Code), then copy and paste the completed documentation into the text box in the Gallery.

  6. On the Image Selection page, choose a thumbnail image for your experiment. The thumbnail image appears at the top of the experiment details page and in the experiment tile. Other users will see the thumbnail image when they browse the Gallery. You can upload an image from your computer, or select a stock image from the Gallery.

  7. On the Settings page, under Visibility, choose whether to publish your content publicly (Public) or to have it accessible only to people who have a link to the page (Unlisted).

    Tip

    If you want to make sure your documentation looks correct before you release it publicly, you can first publish the experiment as Unlisted. Later, you can change the visibility setting to Public on the experiment details page. Note that after you set an experiment to Public you cannot later change it to Unlisted.

  8. To publish the experiment to the Gallery, select the OK check mark.

Update your experiment

If you need to, you can make changes to the workflow (modules, parameters, and so on) in an experiment that you published to the Gallery. In Machine Learning Studio (classic), make any changes you'd like to make to the experiment, and then publish again. Your published experiment will be updated with your changes.

You can change any of the following information for your experiment directly in the Gallery:

  • Experiment name
  • Summary or description
  • Tags
  • Image
  • Visibility setting (Public or Unlisted)

You also can delete the experiment from the Gallery.

You can make these changes, or delete the experiment, from the experiment details page or from your profile page in the Gallery.

  • On the experiment details page, to change the details for your experiment, select Edit. The details page enters edit mode. To make changes, select Edit next to the experiment name, summary, or tags. When you're finished making changes, select Done. To change the visibility settings for the experiment (Public or Unlisted), or to delete the experiment from the Gallery, select the Settings icon.

  • On your profile page, select the down arrow for the experiment, and then select Edit. This takes you to the details page for your experiment, in edit mode. When you are finished making changes, select Done. To delete the experiment from the Gallery, select Delete.

Tips for documenting and publishing your experiment

  • You can assume that the reader has prior data science experience, but it can be helpful to use simple language. Explain things in detail whenever possible.
  • Provide enough information and step-by-step explanations to help readers navigate your experiment.
  • Visuals can be helpful for readers to interpret and use your experiment documentation correctly. Visuals include experiment graphs and screenshots of data.
  • If you include a dataset in your experiment (that is, you're not importing the dataset through the Import Data module), the dataset is part of your experiment and is published in the Gallery. Make sure that the dataset you publish has licensing terms that allow sharing and downloading by anyone. Gallery contributions are covered under the Azure Terms of Use.

Contribute tutorials and collections

You can help others by writing a tutorial in the Gallery that explains machine learning concepts, or by creating a collection that groups together multiple resources around a specific solution.

  1. Sign in to the Gallery using your Microsoft account.

  2. Select your image in the upper-right corner of the page, and then select your name.

  3. Select New Item.

  4. On the Description page, for ITEM TYPE, select Tutorial or Collection. Enter a name, a brief summary, a detailed description, and any tags that might help other users find your contribution. Then click Next.

Frequently asked questions

What are the requirements for submitting or editing an image?

Images that you submit with your contribution are used to create a tile. We recommend that images be smaller than 500 KB, with an aspect ratio of 3:2, and a resolution of 960 × 640.

What happens to the dataset I used in an experiment? Is the dataset also published in the Gallery?

If your dataset is part of your experiment and is not being imported through the Import Data module, the dataset is published in the Gallery as part of your experiment. Make sure that the dataset that you publish with your experiment has the appropriate licensing terms. The licensing terms should allow anyone to share and download the data. Gallery contributions are covered under the Azure Terms of Use.

I have an experiment that uses an Import Data module to pull data from Azure HDInsight or SQL Server. It uses my credentials to retrieve the data. Can I publish this kind of experiment? How can I be assured that my credentials won't be shared?

Currently, you cannot publish in the Gallery an experiment that uses credentials.

How do I enter multiple tags?

After you enter a tag, to enter another tag, press the Tab key.
