Whether you are developing a machine learning (ML) model for reducing operating cost, improving efficiency, or improving customer satisfaction, there are no perfect solutions when it comes to producing an effective model. From an ML development perspective, data scientists typically go through stages of data exploration, feature engineering, model development, and model training and tuning […]

Eastern Australia is among the most fire-prone regions in the world. Although bushfires are a regular occurrence in Australia, the 2019–2020 bushfire crisis set ablaze over 17 million hectares of land (larger than the size of England), costing the Australian economy more than $100 billion between property, infrastructure, social, and environmental costs. With increasingly extreme […]

The fields of natural language processing (NLP), natural language understanding (NLU), and related branches of machine learning (ML) for text analysis have rapidly evolved to address use cases involving text classification, summarization, translation, and more. State-of-the art, general-purpose architectures such as transformers are making this evolution possible. Looking at text classification in particular, a supervised […]

AutoGluon-Tabular is an open-source AutoML framework that requires only a single line of Python to train highly accurate machine learning (ML) models on an unprocessed tabular dataset. In this post, we walk you through a way of using AutoGluon-Tabular as a code-free AWS Marketplace product. We use this process to train and deploy a highly […]

If you have a corpus of internal documents that you frequently search through, Amazon Kendra can help you find your content faster and easier. These documents can be in different locations and repositories, and can be structured or unstructured. Amazon Kendra is a fully managed service backed by machine learning (ML). You don’t need to […]

Training your machine learning (ML) model and serving predictions is usually not the end of the ML project. The accuracy of ML models can deteriorate over time, a phenomenon known as model drift. Many factors can cause model drift, such as changes in model features. The accuracy of ML models can also be affected by […]

Out-of-stock (OOS) is an essential metric tracked across the retail industry. Brick-and-mortar retailers seek to reduce their costs associated with OOS items, while simultaneously increasing shopper satisfaction without inventory surplus. A product can be OOS in three main ways: Distribution OOS, Store OOS, and Shelf OOS. This post focuses on Shelf OOS. Shelf OOS occurs […]

Implementing an effective fraud prevention system is one of the top priorities for businesses that operate online web or mobile platforms. Businesses report millions of dollars of lost revenue each year due to fraud. Platform abuse and fraud prevention largely remain reactive, and is achieved by studying the profile behavior and transaction history of a […]
