Field Notes: Applying Machine Learning to Vegetation Management using Amazon SageMaker
This post was co-written by Louis Lim, a manager in Accenture AWS Business Group, and Soheil Moosavi, a data scientist consultant in Accenture Applied Intelligence (AAI) team. Virtually every electric customer in the US and Canada has, at one time or another, experienced a sustained electric outage as a direct result of a tree and […]
Field Notes: Comparing Algorithm Performance Using MLOps and the AWS Cloud Development Kit
Comparing machine learning algorithm performance is fundamental for machine learning practitioners, and data scientists. The goal is to evaluate the appropriate algorithm to implement for a known business problem. Machine learning performance is often correlated to the usefulness of the model deployed. Improving the performance of the model typically results in an increased accuracy of […]
Building a Controlled Environment Agriculture Platform
This post was co-written by Michael Wirig, Software Engineering Manager at Grōv Technologies. A substantial percentage of the world’s habitable land is used for livestock farming for dairy and meat production. The dairy industry has leveraged technology to gain insights that have led to drastic improvements and are continuing to accelerate. A gallon of milk […]
Real-Time In-Stream Inference with AWS Kinesis, SageMaker, & Apache Flink
As businesses race to digitally transform, the challenge is to cope with the amount of data, and the value of that data diminishes over time. The challenge is to analyze, learn, and infer from real-time data to predict future states, as well as to detect anomalies and get accurate results. In this blog post, we’ll […]
Fast and Cost-Effective Image Manipulation with Serverless Image Handler
As a modern company, you most likely have both a web-based and mobile app platform to provide content to customers who view it on a range of devices. This means you need to store multiple versions of images, depending on the device. The resulting image management can be a headache as it can be expensive […]
Field Notes: Gaining Insights into Labeling Jobs for Machine Learning
In an era where more and more data is generated, it becomes critical for businesses to derive value from it. With the help of supervised learning, it is possible to generate models to automatically make predictions or decisions by leveraging historical data. For example, image recognition for self-driving cars, predicting anomalies on X-rays, fraud detection […]
AWS Architecture Monthly Magazine: Robotics
September’s issue of AWS Architecture Monthly issue is all about robotics. Discover why iRobot, the creator of your favorite (though maybe not your pet’s favorite) little robot vacuum, decided to move its mission-critical platform to the serverless architecture of AWS. Learn how and why you sometimes need to test in a virtual environment instead of […]
Field Notes: Redacting Personal Data from Connected Cars Using Amazon Rekognition
Cameras mounted in connected cars may collect a variety of video data. Organizations may need to redact the personal information (e.g. human faces and automobile license plates) contained in the collected video data in order to protect individuals’ privacy rights and, where required, meet compliance obligations under privacy regulations such as General Data Protection Regulation […]
AWS Architecture Monthly Magazine: Agriculture
In this month’s issue of AWS Architecture Monthly, Worldwide Tech Lead for Agriculture, Karen Hildebrand (who’s also a fourth generation farmer) refers to agriculture as “the connective tissue our world needs to survive.” As our expert for August’s Agriculture issue, she also talks about what role cloud will play in future development efforts in this […]
Field Notes: Inference C++ Models Using SageMaker Processing
Machine learning has existed for decades. Before the prevalence of doing machine learning with Python, many other languages such as Java, and C++ were used to build models. Refactoring legacy models in C++ or Java could be forbiddingly expensive and time consuming. Customers need to know how they can bring their legacy models in C++ […]
