We are thrilled to announce the availability of the LightOn Lyra-fr foundation model for customers using Amazon SageMaker. LightOn is a leader in building foundation models specializing in European languages. Lyra-fr is a state-of-the-art French language model that can be used to build conversational AI, copywriting tools, text classifiers, semantic search, and more. You can […]

Manually inspecting data quality and cleaning data is a painful and time-consuming process that can take a huge chunk of a data scientist’s time on a project. According to a 2020 survey of data scientists conducted by Anaconda, data scientists spend approximately 66% of their time on data preparation and analysis tasks, including loading (19%), cleaning (26%), […]

Amazon Lookout for Vision provides a machine learning (ML)-based anomaly detection service to identify normal images (i.e., images of objects without defects) vs anomalous images (i.e., images of objects with defects), types of anomalies (e.g., missing piece), and the location of these anomalies. Therefore, Lookout for Vision is popular among customers that look for automated […]

Amazon Comprehend is a natural language processing (NLP) service that uses machine learning (ML) to discover insights from text. Amazon Comprehend provides customized features, custom entity recognition, custom classification, and pre-trained APIs such as key phrase extraction, sentiment analysis, entity recognition, and more so you can easily integrate NLP into your applications. We recently added […]

Data preparation is a principal component of machine learning (ML) pipelines. In fact, it is estimated that data professionals spend about 80 percent of their time on data preparation. In this intensive competitive market, teams want to analyze data and extract more meaningful insights quickly. Customers are adopting more efficient and visual ways to build […]

In this post, we show how to train, deploy, and predict natural disaster damage with Amazon SageMaker with geospatial capabilities. We use the new SageMaker geospatial capabilities to generate new inference data to test the model. Many government and humanitarian organizations need quick and accurate situational awareness when a disaster strikes. Knowing the severity, cause, […]

Amazon SageMaker Autopilot automatically builds, trains, and tunes the best machine learning (ML) models based on your data, while allowing you to maintain full control and visibility. Autopilot can also deploy trained models to real-time inference endpoints automatically. If you have workloads with spiky or unpredictable traffic patterns that can tolerate cold starts, then deploying […]

The success of any machine learning (ML) pipeline depends not just on the quality of model used, but also the ability to train and iterate upon this model. One of the key ways to improve an ML model is by choosing better tunable parameters, known as hyperparameters. This is known as hyperparameter optimization (HPO). However, […]

Amazon SageMaker JumpStart is the Machine Learning (ML) hub of SageMaker providing pre-trained, publicly available models for a wide range of problem types to help you get started with machine learning. JumpStart also offers example notebooks that use Amazon SageMaker features like spot instance training and experiments over a large variety of model types and […]

According to a 2020 survey of data scientists conducted by Anaconda, data preparation is one of the critical steps in machine learning (ML) and data analytics workflows, and often very time consuming for data scientists. Data scientists spend about 66% of their time on data preparation and analysis tasks, including loading (19%), cleaning (26%), and […]
