Amazon SageMaker gives you the flexibility that you need to address sophisticated business problems with your machine learning workloads. Built-in algorithms help you get started quickly.  In this blog post we’ll outline how you can extend the built-in factorization machines algorithm to predict top x recommendations. This approach is ideal when you want to generate […]

We’re excited to announce that starting today Amazon SageMaker supports a built-in k-Nearest-Neighbor (kNN) algorithm for solving classification and regression problems. kNN is a simple, interpretable, and surprisingly strong model for multi-class classification, ranking, and regression. Introduction to kNN The idea behind kNN is that similar data points should have the same class, at least […]
