1. After you log into IBM Cloud, you’ll find the Dashboard. This Dashboard lets you access the
tools, services, resources and more in your IBM Cloud account. Select Catalog on the top
toolbar.
The IBM Cloud dashboard
With several bank IT workers looking on, you log into IBM Cloud. As it comes up, you
explain that you can access Watson Studio in just a few steps through an IBM Cloud
account. This acts as your doorway to amazing AI resources.
2. This is the catalog of IBM products and services. It is a best practice to create database storage
first. Type “object storage” in the Search field and select Enter
3. Select Object Storage.
4. For this simulation, you are using a free account, so you don’t need to review a pricing plan.
Select the Next arrow to continue.
5. Scroll down to the Configure your resource section. Developers would say that you’re going to
“provision” the object storage. A Service name is automatically generated, but you should name
it something meaningful to your project. Type “Cloud Object Storage-Risk_Fraud” in the Service
name field and select Enter.
6. You don’t need to fill out the other fields. In the lower right select Create.
7. Now that you’ve provisioned the Cloud Object storage, select the sandwich icon at the top left
to display the navigation menu.
8. Select Resource list from the navigation menu.
9. This displays a list of the resources that you have created. Select Storage to see that the Cloud
Object Storage_Risk_Fraud that you just created is listed.
10. Select Catalog on the top toolbar.
11. Notice on the left side under Category that there is a large collection of available tools. Select
the AI / Machine Learning category.
An AI / machine learning service
Now you’re through the IBM doorway. You’ve finished basic bookkeeping and you’re
ready set up a project in IBM Watson Studio. Some of the IT folks haven’t seen anything
like this before, so more of them crowd around to watch you get ready.
12. Notice there are several AI and machine learning products listed. Find and select the Watson
Studio block.
13. For this simulation, you are using a free account, so you don’t need to review a pricing plan. Note
that the location selected is Dallas (us-south). Scroll down to reveal the Configure your
resource section, then select the Next arrow to continue.
14. Under the Configure your resource section, the Service name is automatically generated, in
this case Watson Studio-dl. Type “Watson Studio-AI Fundamentals” in the Service name field
and select Enter.
15. You don’t need to fill out the other fields. In the lower right, assume that you’ve checked that
you have read and agree to the license agreements, then select Create.
16. You’ve provisioned the IBM Watson Studio service! Notice the service name you picked displays
in the upper left. Now, you need to create a new project. Select Launch in IBM Cloud Pak for
Data.
17. On the Build and manage ML models pop-up, Provision Watson Machine Learning is select by
default. Select Next.
A new AI project
With your service set up, you’ll create the AI project itself. This involves launching it,
naming it, and associating it with the database that you’ll use to test your machine
learning models.
18. Make sure that Dallas displays in the Select a region field. Since Dallas was selected for
Watson Studio, you must make sure that you select Dallas for all the other services. Select the
Next arrow to continue.
19. Under the Configure your resource section, name your service. Type “Machine Learning-
Risk_Fraud” in the Service name field. Then select Create.
20. You are working on a new project, so select New project to create an empty project and then
select Next.
21. Under the Define details section, you can name your project. Type “Risk_Fraud” in the Name
field. Select the Next arrow to continue.
22. Notice under Storage that IBM Watson Studio already provisioned the Cloud Object Storage
(COS) that you created earlier so you have a database. This COS can store unstructured data like
images and text. Soon, you’ll work with structured data in a comma-separated values (CSV) file.
Select Create.
23. You’ve created the project! This is the IBM Watson Studio Projects dashboard. You can see your
project name at the top. This is the Overview tab. Select the Assets tab.
24. It’s time to upload your data set. Select Drop data files here to open your local drive and find
the german_credit_data_biased_training.csv file that you’ll be working with for the project.
25. Drag and drop the german_credit_data_biased_training.csv file to Drop data files or browse
for files to upload under Data in this project.
26. Notice your CSV file is right there for you. Select “german_credit_data_biased_training.csv”.
27. A Preview assets page opens so you can now preview your data. Take a moment to check out
the data that displays. Select the Next arrow to continue.
Conclusion: You successfully provisioned the IBM Watson Studio service, set up a new project, and
uploaded the data set to your project so you’re ready to begin working with it.
