May 2023: This blog post has been updated to include a workflow that does not require building a custom container. Amazon SageMaker is a fully managed machine learning (ML) service. With SageMaker, data scientists and developers can quickly and easily build and train ML models, and then directly deploy them into a production-ready hosted environment. […]

Reinforcement learning (RL) encompasses a class of machine learning (ML) techniques that can be used to solve sequential decision-making problems. RL techniques have found widespread applications in numerous domains, including financial services, autonomous navigation, industrial control, and e-commerce. The objective of an RL problem is to train an agent that, given an observation from its […]

Deploying models at scale can be a cumbersome task for many data scientists and machine learning engineers. However, Amazon SageMaker endpoints provide a simple solution for deploying and scaling your machine learning (ML) model inferences. Our last blog post and GitHub repo on hosting a YOLOv5 TensorFlowModel on Amazon SageMaker Endpoints sparked a lot of interest […]

This post presents and compares options and recommended practices on how to manage Python packages and virtual environments in Amazon SageMaker Studio notebooks. A public GitHub repo provides hands-on examples for each of the presented approaches. Amazon SageMaker Studio is a web-based, integrated development environment (IDE) for machine learning (ML) that lets you build, train, […]

The Amazon International Seller Growth (ISG) team runs the CSBA (Customer Service by Amazon) program that supports over 200,000 third-party Merchant Fulfilled Network (MFN) sellers. Amazon call centers facilitate hundreds of thousands of phone calls, chats, and emails going between the consumers and Amazon MFN sellers. The large volume of contacts creates a challenge for […]

Machine learning (ML) can help companies make better business decisions through advanced analytics. Companies across industries apply ML to use cases such as predicting customer churn, demand forecasting, credit scoring, predicting late shipments, and improving manufacturing quality. In this blog post, we’ll look at how Amazon SageMaker Canvas delivers faster and more accurate model training times enabling […]

The fashion industry is a highly lucrative business, with an estimated value of $2.1 trillion by 2025, as reported by the World Bank. This field encompasses a diverse range of segments, such as the creation, manufacture, distribution, and sales of clothing, shoes, and accessories. The industry is in a constant state of change, with new […]

Amazon Comprehend is a managed AI service that uses natural language processing (NLP) with ready-made intelligence to extract insights about the content of documents. It develops insights by recognizing the entities, key phrases, language, sentiments, and other common elements in a document. The ability to train custom models through the Custom classification and Custom entity […]

Model tuning is the experimental process of finding the optimal parameters and configurations for a machine learning (ML) model that result in the best possible desired outcome with a validation dataset. Single objective optimization with a performance metric is the most common approach for tuning ML models. However, in addition to predictive performance, there may […]

Amazon SageMaker JumpStart is the machine learning (ML) hub of SageMaker that offers over 350 built-in algorithms, pre-trained models, and pre-built solution templates to help you get started with ML fast. JumpStart provides one-click access to a wide variety of pre-trained models for common ML tasks such as object detection, text classification, summarization, text generation […]
