You can solve problems using Machine learning without coding from a while ago.. azure machine learning have this features from more than a year ago.

I've solve regression, classification and recommendation problems with it and the best part is it deploys an web service with a few clicks.

But you would need to have:

1 a working phone

2 a valid credit card

To use azure which places a too high bar on students. I mean I've tried to argue for graduated restrictions so basically students with .edu emails should be able to do some things without entering a credit card number but the fact that it is not possible suggests this isn't a priority for azure.

Google says this finds on your browser so there's little infrastructure cost for this demo, right?

There is a student offer that doesn’t require credit card https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/offers/ms-azr-0144p/

But IIRC it doesn't include ML tools.

Can you clarify on what you did with it? I'd love to start dabbling in solving problems with ML, but am a bit intimidated by getting started. Is it fairly easy for a novice to do the things you did?
