In recent years, the meteoric rise of deep learning has made incredible applications possible, such as detecting skin cancer (SkinVision) and building autonomous vehicles (TuSimple). Thanks to neural networks, deep learning indeed has the uncanny ability to extract and model intricate patterns from vast amounts of unstructured data (e.g. images, video, and free-form text). However, […]

Technical Evangelists travel quite a lot, and the number one question that we get from customers when presenting Amazon Translate is: “Is my native language supported?“.

Launched at AWS re:Invent 2018, Amazon Comprehend Medical is a HIPAA-eligible natural language processing service that makes it easy to use machine learning to extract relevant medical information from unstructured text. For example, customers like Roche Diagnostics and The Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center can quickly and accurately extract information, such as medical condition, medication, […]

AWS DataSync helps you to move large amounts of data into or out of the AWS Cloud (read my post, New – AWS DataSync – Automated and Accelerated Data Transfer, to learn more). As I explained in my post DataSync is a great fit for your Migration, Upload & Process, and Backup / DR use […]

Traditional banks make extensive use of labor-intensive, human-centric control structures such as Production Support groups, Security Response teams, and Contingency Planning organizations. These control structures were deemed necessary in order to segment responsibilities and to maintain a security posture that is risk averse. Unfortunately, this traditional model tends to keep the subject matter experts in […]

The NVIDIA-powered G4 instances that I promised you earlier this year are available now and you can start using them today in nine AWS regions in six sizes! You can use them for machine learning training & inferencing, video transcoding, game streaming, and remote graphics workstations applications. The instances are equipped with up to four […]

Microservices make applications easier to scale and faster to develop, but coordinating the components of a distributed application can be a daunting task. AWS Step Functions is a fully managed service that makes coordinating tasks easier by letting you design and run workflows that are made of steps, each step receiving as input the output of the previous […]
