## Introduction
Standardization of the structure and documentation of data science projects, that is anchored to an established [data science lifecycle](https://github.com/Azure/Microsoft-TDSP/blob/master/Docs/lifecycle-detail.md), is key to facilitating effective collaboration in data science teams. Creating Azure Machine Learning projects with the [Team Data Science Process (TDSP)](https://github.com/Azure/Microsoft-TDSP) template provides a framework for such standardization. Here we provide an example of how an actual machine learning project can be created using TDSP structure, populated with project-specific code, artifacts and documents, and executed within the Azure Machine Learning.
## Overview
This sample shows how to instantiate and execute a machine learning project using the [Team Data Science Process (TDSP)](https://github.com/Azure/Microsoft-TDSP) structure and templates in Azure Machine Learning. For this purpose, we use the well-known [1994 US Census data from the UCI Machine Learning Repository](https://archive.ics.uci.edu/ml/datasets/adult). The modeling task is to predict US annual income classes from US Census information (for example, age, race, education level, country of origin, etc.).
Project summary is available in the [GitHub repository](https://github.com/Azure/MachineLearningSamples-TDSPUCIAdultIncome/blob/master/project-summary.md).
## Pre-requisites
* An Azure [subscription](https://azure.microsoft.com). You can get a [free subscription](https://azure.microsoft.com/free/?v=17.16&WT.srch=1&WT.mc_id=AID559320_SEM_cZGgGOIg) to execute this sample also.
* An [Azure Data Science Virtual Machine (DSVM) Windows Server 2016](https://azuremarketplace.microsoft.com/marketplace/apps/microsoft-ads.windows-data-science-vm), (VM Size: [DS3_V2](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/virtual-machines/windows/sizes), with 4 virtual CPUs and 14-Gb RAM). Although tested on an Azure DSVM, it is likely to work on any Windows 10 machine.
