With a few clicks in the Amazon SageMaker console or a few one-line API calls, you can now quickly search, filter, and sort your machine learning (ML) experiments using key model attributes, such as hyperparameter values and accuracy metrics, to help you more quickly identify the best models for your use case and get to […]

We are excited to announce the launch of two new sample projects: “Build a worker safety system” and “Who drinks the most coffee?” for AWS DeepLens. These sample projects provide guided instructions on how to use computer vision to build a complete machine learning application on AWS. The applications span the edge and the cloud, […]

The race is on! Start your engines! The AWS DeepRacer Scholarship Challenge from Udacity is now open for enrollment. As mentioned in our previous post, the AWS DeepRacer Scholarship Challenge program introduces you—no matter what your developer skill levels are—to essential machine learning (ML) concepts in a fun and engaging way. Each month, you put […]
