How Amazon Search increased ML training twofold using AWS Batch for Amazon SageMaker Training jobs
In this post, we show you how Amazon Search optimized GPU instance utilization by leveraging AWS Batch for SageMaker Training jobs. This managed solution enabled us to orchestrate machine learning (ML) training workloads on GPU-accelerated instance families like P5, P4, and others. We will also provide a step-by-step walkthrough of the use case implementation.
End-to-End model training and deployment with Amazon SageMaker Unified Studio
In this post, we guide you through the stages of customizing large language models (LLMs) with SageMaker Unified Studio and SageMaker AI, covering the end-to-end process starting from data discovery to fine-tuning FMs with SageMaker AI distributed training, tracking metrics using MLflow, and then deploying models using SageMaker AI inference for real-time inference. We also discuss best practices to choose the right instance size and share some debugging best practices while working with JupyterLab notebooks in SageMaker Unified Studio.
Extend large language models powered by Amazon SageMaker AI using Model Context Protocol
The MCP proposed by Anthropic offers a standardized way of connecting FMs to data sources, and now you can use this capability with SageMaker AI. In this post, we presented an example of combining the power of SageMaker AI and MCP to build an application that offers a new perspective on loan underwriting through specialized roles and automated workflows.
Custom document annotation for extracting named entities in documents using Amazon Comprehend
This blog was last reviewed and updated in June, 2022 to include code updates and fixes. Intelligent document processing (IDP), as defined by IDC, is an approach by which unstructured content and structured data is analyzed and extracted for use in downstream applications. IDP involves document reading, categorization, and data extraction, by using AI’s processes […]
Segment paragraphs and detect insights with Amazon Textract and Amazon Comprehend
Many companies extract data from scanned documents containing tables and forms, such as PDFs. Some examples are audit documents, tax documents, whitepapers, or customer review documents. For customer reviews, you might be extracting text such as product reviews, movie reviews, or feedback. Further understanding of the individual and overall sentiment of the user base from […]
Identify bottlenecks, improve resource utilization, and reduce ML training costs with the deep profiling feature in Amazon SageMaker Debugger
Machine learning (ML) has shown great promise across domains such as predictive analysis, speech processing, image recognition, recommendation systems, bioinformatics, and more. Training ML models is a time- and compute-intensive process, requiring multiple training runs with different hyperparameters before a model yields acceptable accuracy. CPU- and GPU-based distributed training with frameworks such as Horovod and […]
Using Amazon Rekognition Custom Labels and Amazon A2I for detecting pizza slices and augmenting predictions
Customers need machine learning (ML) models to detect objects that are interesting for their business. In most cases doing so is hard as these models need thousands of labeled images and deep learning expertise. Generating this data can take months to gather, and can require large teams of labelers to prepare it for use. In […]
