Create high-quality instructions for Amazon SageMaker Ground Truth labeling jobs

Amazon SageMaker Ground Truth helps you quickly build highly accurate training datasets for machine learning (ML). You can use your own workers, a choice of vendor-managed workforces that specialize in data labeling, or a public workforce powered by Amazon Mechanical Turk to provide the human-generated labels. To get high-quality labels, you must provide simple, concise, […]

Build a serverless anomaly detection tool using Java and the Amazon SageMaker Random Cut Forest algorithm

One of the problems that business owners commonly face is detecting when something unusual is happening in their business. Detecting unusual user activity or changes in daily traffic patterns are just some of the challenges. With an ever-increasing amount of data and metrics, detecting anomalies with the help of machine learning is a great way […]
