Labeling mixed-source, industrial datasets with Amazon SageMaker Ground Truth

Prior to using any kind of supervised machine learning (ML) algorithm, data has to be labeled. Amazon SageMaker Ground Truth simplifies and accelerates this task. Ground Truth uses pre-defined templates to assign labels that classify the content of images or videos or verify existing labels. Ground Truth allows you to define workflows for labeling various […]

The following diagram illustrates the architecture for our experiments.

Building predictive disease models using Amazon SageMaker with Amazon HealthLake normalized data

In this post, we walk you through the steps to build machine learning (ML) models in Amazon SageMaker with data stored in Amazon HealthLake using two example predictive disease models we trained on sample data using the MIMIC-III dataset. This dataset was developed by the MIT lab for Computational Physiology and consists of de-identified healthcare […]

Run the following code to trigger a recommendation workflow using the underlying Lambda function and Step Functions states:

Automating an Amazon Personalize solution using the AWS Step Functions Data Science SDK

Machine learning (ML)-based recommender systems aren’t a new concept across organizations such as retail, media and entertainment, and education, but developing such a system can be a resource-intensive task—from data labelling, training and inference, to scaling. You also need to apply continuous integration, continuous deployment, and continuous training to your ML model, or MLOps. The […]

Using machine learning to predict vessel time of arrival with Amazon SageMaker

According to the International Chamber of Shipping, 90% of world commerce happens at sea. Vessels are transporting every possible kind of commodity, including raw materials and semi-finished and finished goods, making ocean transportation a key component of the global supply chain. Manufacturers, retailers, and the end consumer are reliant on hundreds of thousands of ships […]

Creating high-quality machine learning models for financial services using Amazon SageMaker Autopilot

Machine learning (ML) is used throughout the financial services industry to perform a wide variety of tasks, such as fraud detection, market surveillance, portfolio optimization, loan solvency prediction, direct marketing, and many others. This breadth of use cases has created a need for lines of business to quickly generate high-quality and performant models that can […]

How to train procedurally generated game-like environments at scale with Amazon SageMaker RL

A gym is a toolkit for developing and comparing reinforcement learning algorithms. Procgen Benchmark is a suite of 16 procedurally-generated gym environments designed to benchmark both sample efficiency and generalization in reinforcement learning.  These environments are associated with the paper Leveraging Procedural Generation to Benchmark Reinforcement Learning (citation). Compared to Gym Retro, these environments have […]

AWS Announces the global expansion of AWS CCI Solutions

We’re excited to announce the global availability of AWS Contact Center Intelligence (AWS CCI) solutions powered by AWS AI Services and made available through the AWS Partner Network. AWS CCI solutions enable you to leverage AWS machine learning (ML) capabilities with your current contact center provider to gain greater efficiencies and deliver increasingly tailored customer […]

The following diagram illustrates this architecture.

Hosting a private PyPI server for Amazon SageMaker Studio notebooks in a VPC

Amazon SageMaker Studio notebooks provide a full-featured integrated development environment (IDE) for flexible machine learning (ML) experimentation and development. Security measures secure and support a versatile and collaborative environment. In some cases, such as to protect sensitive data or meet regulatory requirements, security protocols require that public internet access be disabled in the development environment. […]

Artificial intelligence and machine learning continues at AWS re:Invent

A fresh new year is here, and we wish you all a wonderful 2021. We signed off last year at AWS re:Invent on the artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) track with the first ever machine learning keynote and over 50 AI/ML focused technical sessions covering industries, use cases, applications, and more. You can […]

Accelerating MLOps at Bayer Crop Science with Kubeflow Pipelines and Amazon SageMaker

This is a guest post by the data science team at Bayer Crop Science.  Farmers have always collected and evaluated a large amount of data with each growing season: seeds planted, crop protection inputs applied, crops harvested, and much more. The rise of data science and digital technologies provides farmers with a wealth of new […]
