Processing auto insurance claims at scale using Amazon Rekognition Custom Labels and Amazon SageMaker Ground Truth

Computer vision uses machine learning (ML) to build applications that process images or videos. With Amazon Rekognition, you can use pre-trained computer vision models to identify objects, people, text, activities, or inappropriate content. Our customers have use cases that span every industry, including media, finance, manufacturing, sports, and technology. Some of these use cases require […]

Building a medical image search platform on AWS

Improving radiologist efficiency and preventing burnout is a primary goal for healthcare providers. A nationwide study published in Mayo Clinic Proceedings in 2015 showed radiologist burnout percentage at a concerning 61% [1]. In additon, the report concludes that “burnout and satisfaction with work-life balance in US physicians worsened from 2011 to 2014. More than half […]

Streamlining data labeling for YOLO object detection in Amazon SageMaker Ground Truth

Object detection is a common task in computer vision (CV), and the YOLOv3 model is state-of-the-art in terms of accuracy and speed. In transfer learning, you obtain a model trained on a large but generic dataset and retrain the model on your custom dataset. One of the most time-consuming parts in transfer learning is collecting […]

Making cycling safer with AWS DeepLens and Amazon SageMaker object detection

April 2023 Update: Starting January 31, 2024, you will no longer be able to access AWS DeepLens through the AWS management console, manage DeepLens devices, or access any projects you have created. To learn more, refer to these frequently asked questions about AWS DeepLens end of life. According to the 2018 National Highway Traffic Safety Administration […]

Predicting Defender Trajectories in NFL’s Next Gen Stats

NFL’s Next Gen Stats (NGS) powered by AWS accurately captures player and ball data in real time for every play and every NFL game—over 300 million data points per season—through the extensive use of sensors in players’ pads and the ball. With this rich set of tracking data, NGS uses AWS machine learning (ML) technology […]

Amazon SageMaker price reductions: Up to 18% lower prices on ml.p3 and ml.p2 instances

Effective October 1st, 2020, we’re reducing the prices for ml.p3 and ml.p2 instances in Amazon SageMaker by up to 18% so you can maximize your machine learning (ML) budgets and innovate with deep learning using these accelerated compute instances. The new price reductions apply to ml.p3 and ml.p2 instances of all sizes for Amazon SageMaker […]

Join AWS and NVIDIA at GTC, October 5–9

Starting Monday, October 5, 2020, the NVIDIA GPU Technology Conference (GTC) is offering online sessions for you to learn AWS best practices to accomplish your machine learning (ML), virtual workstations, high performance computing (HPC), and internet of things (IoT) goals faster and more easily. Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instances powered by NVIDIA GPUs […]

Onboarding Amazon SageMaker Studio with AWS SSO and Okta Universal Directory

This blog was reviewed and updated June, 2022 to address latest changes to steps and User Interface on Studio and Okta. In 2019, AWS announced Amazon SageMaker Studio, a unified integrated development environment (IDE) for machine learning (ML) development. You can write code, track experiments, visualize data, and perform debugging and monitoring within a single, […]

Running on-demand, serverless Apache Spark data processing jobs using Amazon SageMaker managed Spark containers and the Amazon SageMaker SDK

July 2023: This post was reviewed for accuracy. Apache Spark is a unified analytics engine for large scale, distributed data processing. Typically, businesses with Spark-based workloads on AWS use their own stack built on top of Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2), or Amazon EMR to run and scale Apache Spark, Hive, Presto, and other […]

Moving from notebooks to automated ML pipelines using Amazon SageMaker and AWS Glue

A typical machine learning (ML) workflow involves processes such as data extraction, data preprocessing, feature engineering, model training and evaluation, and model deployment. As data changes over time, when you deploy models to production, you want your model to learn continually from the stream of data. This means supporting the model’s ability to autonomously learn […]
