TensorBoard is an open source toolkit for TensorFlow users that allows you to visualize a wide range of useful information about your model, from model graphs; to loss, accuracy, or custom metrics; to embedding projections, images, and histograms of weights and biases. This post demonstrates how to use TensorBoard with Amazon SageMaker training jobs, write […]

Distributed training of large deep learning models has become an indispensable way of model training for computer vision (CV) and natural language processing (NLP) applications. Open source frameworks such as Horovod provide distributed training support to Apache MXNet, PyTorch, and TensorFlow. Converting your non-distributed Apache MXNet training script to use distributed training with Horovod only […]

Following strong customer demand, AWS has expanded the availability of Amazon EC2 Inf1 instances to five new Regions: US East (Ohio), Asia Pacific (Sydney, Tokyo), and Europe (Frankfurt, Ireland). Inf1 instances are powered by AWS Inferentia chips, which Amazon custom-designed to provide you with the lowest cost per inference in the cloud and lower barriers […]

In October 2019, AWS announced that it was working with Facebook, Microsoft, and the Partnership on AI on the first Deepfake Detection Challenge. Deepfake algorithms are the same as the underlying technology that has given us realistic animation effects in movies and video games. Unfortunately, those same algorithms have been used by bad actors to […]

Tens of thousands of customers rely on AWS for building machine learning (ML) applications. Customers like Airbnb and Pinterest use AWS to optimize their search recommendations, Lyft and Toyota Research Institute to develop their autonomous vehicle programs, and Capital One and Intuit to build and deploy AI-powered customer assistants. AWS offers the broadest and deepest […]

As a multiplayer game publisher, you may often need to either over-provision resources or manually manage compute allocation when launching or maintaining an online game to avoid long player wait times. You need to develop, configure, and deploy tools that help you monitor and control the compute allocation. This post demonstrates GameServer Autopilot, a new […]

When it comes to running distributed machine learning (ML) workloads, AWS offers you both managed and self-service offerings. Amazon SageMaker is a managed service that can help engineering, data science, and research teams save time and reduce operational overhead. AWS ParallelCluster is an open-source, self-service cluster management tool for customers who wish to maintain more […]

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 […]

This post offers a dive deep into how to use Amazon Elastic Inference with Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service. When you combine Elastic Inference with EKS, you can run low-cost, scalable inference workloads with your preferred container orchestration system. Elastic Inference is an increasingly popular way to run low-cost inference workloads on AWS. It allows you […]
