Build Amazon SageMaker notebooks backed by Spark in Amazon EMR
This blog post was last reviewed August, 2022. Introduced at AWS re:Invent in 2017, Amazon SageMaker provides a fully managed service for data science and machine learning workflows. One of the important parts of Amazon SageMaker is the powerful Jupyter notebook interface, which can be used to build models. You can enhance the Amazon SageMaker […]
How to Deploy Deep Learning Models with AWS Lambda and Tensorflow
Deep learning has revolutionized how we process and handle real-world data. There are many types of deep learning applications, including applications to organize a user’s photo archive, make book recommendations, detect fraudulent behavior, and perceive the world around an autonomous vehicle. In this post, we’ll show you step-by-step how to use your own custom-trained models […]
AWS Deep Learning AMIs Now Available in 4 New Regions: Beijing, Frankfurt, Singapore, and Mumbai
The AWS Deep Learning AMIs are now available in four new AWS Regions: China (Beijing) operated by Sinnet, Europe (Frankfurt), Asia Pacific (Singapore), and Asia Pacific (Mumbai). The Amazon Machine Images (AMIs) provide provide machine learning practitioners with the infrastructure and tools to accelerate deep to quickly start experimenting with deep learning models.

ONNX is an open standard format for deep learning models that enables interoperability between deep learning frameworks such as Apache MXNet, Caffe2, Microsoft Cognitive Toolkit, and PyTorch. ONNX 1.0 enables users to […]
Assisting People at Haptik Using Amazon Polly
Haptik is India’s first personal-assistant app. Users can use the app to plan travel, check in for flights, book taxis, and set reminders. And of all the different features, the most important and frequently used is the Reminders feature. People use Haptik to set wake-up calls, set up reminders to drink water, call people at different times, send greetings to others for different occasions, and much more. Through the reminders feature, users will receive notifications on the app along with a phone call at a requested time, relating the reminder message. In this post, we will cover how we use machine learning and text-to-speech (TTS) to set reminders for users – to call them at the given time to remind them of their tasks. We will cover how Amazon Polly helped us make personalized calls to our users and helped us scale our reminders feature to millions of users.
AWS Contributes to Milestone 1.0 Release of Apache MXNet Including the Addition of a New Model Serving Capability
Today AWS announced contributions to the milestone 1.0 release of the Apache MXNet deep learning engine and the introduction of a new model serving capability for MXNet. These new capabilities (1) simplify training and deploying deep learning models, (2) enable implementation of cutting-edge performance enhancements, and (3) provide easy interoperability between deep learning frameworks. In […]
