Machine learning (ML) is routinely used by countless businesses to assist with decision making. In most cases, however, the predictions and business decisions made by ML systems still require the intuition of human users to make judgment calls. In this post, I show how to combine ML with sensitivity analysis to develop a data-driven business […]

Financial institutions that extend credit face the dual tasks of evaluating the credit risk associated with each loan application and determining a threshold that defines the level of risk they are willing to take on. The evaluation of credit risk is a common application of machine learning (ML) classification models. The determination of a classification […]

This post looks at the role machine learning plays in providing fans with deeper insights into the game. We also provide code snippets that show the training and deployment process behind these insights on Amazon SageMaker.

Building a highly accurate training dataset for your machine learning (ML) algorithm is an iterative process. It is common to review and continuously adjust your labels until you are satisfied that the labels accurately represent the ground truth, or what is directly observable in the real world. ML practitioners often built custom systems to review […]

Amazon SageMaker is a fully managed platform that enables developers and data scientists to quickly and easily build, train, and deploy machine learning (ML) models at any scale. When you deploy an ML model, Amazon SageMaker leverages ML hosting instances to host the model and provides an API endpoint to provide inferences. It may also […]

Creating a global footprint and access to scale are one of the many best practices at AWS. By creating architectures that take advantage of that scale and also efficient data utilization (in both performance and cost), you can start to see how important access is at scale. For example, within autonomous vehicles (AV) development, data is geographically […]

July 2023: This post was reviewed for accuracy. Optimization is the process of finding the minimum (or maximum) of a function that depends on some inputs, called design variables. Customer X has the following problem: They are about to release a new car model to be designed for maximum fuel efficiency. In reality, thousands of […]

Amazon SageMaker supports all the popular deep learning frameworks, including TensorFlow. Over 85% of TensorFlow projects in the cloud run on AWS. Many of these projects already run in Amazon SageMaker. This is due to the many conveniences Amazon SageMaker provides for TensorFlow model hosting and training, including fully managed distributed training with Horovod and […]

After you’ve trained and exported a TensorFlow model, you can use Amazon SageMaker to perform inferences using your model. You can either: Deploy your model to an endpoint to obtain real-time inferences from your model. Use batch transform to obtain inferences on an entire dataset stored in Amazon S3. In the case of batch transform, […]

Launched at AWS re:Invent 2018, Amazon SageMaker Ground Truth helps you quickly build highly accurate training datasets for your machine learning models. Amazon SageMaker Ground Truth offers easy access to public and private human labelers, and provides them with built-in workflows and interfaces for common labeling tasks. Additionally, Amazon SageMaker Ground Truth can lower your […]
