Deep learning (DL) frameworks enable machine learning (ML) practitioners to build and train ML models. However, the process of deploying ML models in production to serve predictions (also known as inferences) in real time is more complex. It requires that ML practitioners build a scalable and performant model server, which can host these models and […]

Remember the screech of the dial-up and plain-text websites? It was in that era that the Amazon.com website launched in the summer of 1995. Like the rest of the web, Amazon.com has gone through a digital experience makeover that includes slick web controls, rich media, multi-channel support, and intelligent content placement. Nonetheless, there are certain […]

When you run predictions on large datasets, you may want to drop some input attributes before running the predictions. This is because those attributes don’t carry any signal or were not part of the dataset used to train your machine learning (ML) model. Similarly, it can be helpful to map the prediction results to all […]

Apache MXNet is an open-source deep learning software framework used to train and deploy deep neural networks. Data scientists and machine learning (ML) developers love MXNet due to its flexibility and efficiency when building deep learning models. Amazon SageMaker is committed to improving the customer experience for all ML frameworks and libraries, including MXNet.
