Many companies are overwhelmed by the abundant volume of documents they have to process, organize, and classify to serve their customers better. Examples of such can be loan applications, tax filing, and billing. Such documents are more commonly received in image formats and are mostly multi-paged and in low-quality format. To be more competitive and […]

AWS customers are relying on Infrastructure as Code (IaC) to design, develop, and manage their cloud infrastructure. IaC ensures that customer infrastructure and services are consistent, scalable, and reproducible, while being able to follow best practices in the area of development operations (DevOps). One possible approach to manage AWS infrastructure and services with IaC is […]

Reading the printed word opens up a world of information, imagination, and creativity. However, scanned books and documents may be difficult for people with vision impairment and learning disabilities to consume. In addition, some people prefer to listen to text-based content versus reading it. A document-to-speech solution extends the reach of digital content by giving […]

At the 2021 AWS re:Invent conference in Las Vegas, we demoed Read For Me at the AWS Builders Fair—a website that helps the visually impaired hear documents. For better quality, view the video here. Adaptive technology and accessibility features are often expensive, if they’re available at all. Audio books help the visually impaired read. Audio […]

With the growing adoption of Machine Learning (ML) across industries, there is an increasing demand for faster and easier ways to run ML inference at scale. ML use cases, such as manufacturing defect detection, demand forecasting, fraud surveillance, and many others, involve tens or thousands of datasets, including images, videos, files, documents, and other artifacts. […]

A continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipeline helps you automate steps in your machine learning (ML) applications such as data ingestion, data preparation, feature engineering, modeling training, and model deployment. A pipeline across multiple AWS accounts improves security, agility, and resilience because an AWS account provides a natural security and access boundary for your […]

You can use various tools to define and run machine learning (ML) pipelines or DAGs (Directed Acyclic Graphs). Some popular options include AWS Step Functions, Apache Airflow, KubeFlow Pipelines (KFP), TensorFlow Extended (TFX), Argo, Luigi, and Amazon SageMaker Pipelines. All these tools help you compose pipelines in various languages (JSON, YAML, Python, and more), followed […]

The Intel Olympic Technology Group (OTG), a division within Intel focused on bringing cutting-edge technology to Olympic athletes, collaborated with AWS Machine Learning Professional Services (MLPS) to build a smart coaching software as a service (SaaS) application using computer vision (CV)-based pose estimation models. Pose estimation is a class of machine learning (ML) model that […]

If you’re integrating your Amazon Lex chatbots with Slack, chances are you’ll come across Block Kit. Block Kit is a UI framework for Slack apps. Like response cards, Block Kit can help simplify interactions with your users. It offers flexibility to format your bot messages with blocks, buttons, check boxes, date pickers, time pickers, select […]

In Part 1 of this series, we walk through a continuous model improvement machine learning (ML) workflow with Amazon Rekognition Custom Labels and Amazon Augmented AI (Amazon A2I). We explained how we use AWS Step Functions to orchestrate model training and deployment, and custom label detection backed by a human labeling private workforce. We described […]
