Monitoring Lake Mead drought using the new Amazon SageMaker geospatial capabilities

Earth’s changing climate poses an increased risk of drought due to global warming. Since 1880, the global temperature has increased 1.01 °C. Since 1993, sea levels have risen 102.5 millimeters. Since 2002, the land ice sheets in Antarctica have been losing mass at a rate of 151.0 billion metric tons per year. In 2022, the […]

Optimize your machine learning deployments with auto scaling on Amazon SageMaker

Machine learning (ML) has become ubiquitous. Our customers are employing ML in every aspect of their business, including the products and services they build, and for drawing insights about their customers. To build an ML-based application, you have to first build the ML model that serves your business requirement. Building ML models involves preparing the […]

Amazon SageMaker Automatic Model Tuning now supports three new completion criteria for hyperparameter optimization

Amazon SageMaker has announced the support of three new completion criteria for Amazon SageMaker automatic model tuning, providing you with an additional set of levers to control the stopping criteria of the tuning job when finding the best hyperparameter configuration for your model. In this post, we discuss these new completion criteria, when to use them, and […]

Create powerful self-service experiences with Amazon Lex on Talkdesk CX Cloud contact center

This blog post is co-written with Bruno Mateus, Jonathan Diedrich and Crispim Tribuna at Talkdesk. Contact centers are using artificial intelligence (AI) and natural language processing (NLP) technologies to build a personalized customer experience and deliver effective self-service support through conversational bots. This is the first of a two-part series dedicated to the integration of […]

How to decide between Amazon Rekognition image and video API for video moderation

Almost 80% of today’s web content is user-generated, creating a deluge of content that organizations struggle to analyze with human-only processes. The availability of consumer information helps them make decisions, from buying a new pair of jeans to securing home loans. In a recent survey, 79% of consumers stated they rely on user videos, comments, […]

Scaling distributed training with AWS Trainium and Amazon EKS

Recent developments in deep learning have led to increasingly large models such as GPT-3, BLOOM, and OPT, some of which are already in excess of 100 billion parameters. Although larger models tend to be more powerful, training such models requires significant computational resources. Even with the use of advanced distributed training libraries like FSDP and […]

Amazon SageMaker built-in LightGBM now offers distributed training using Dask

Amazon SageMaker provides a suite of built-in algorithms, pre-trained models, and pre-built solution templates to help data scientists and machine learning (ML) practitioners get started on training and deploying ML models quickly. You can use these algorithms and models for both supervised and unsupervised learning. They can process various types of input data, including tabular, […]

Set up Amazon SageMaker Studio with Jupyter Lab 3 using the AWS CDK

Amazon SageMaker Studio is a fully integrated development environment (IDE) for machine learning (ML) partly based on JupyterLab 3. Studio provides a web-based interface to interactively perform ML development tasks required to prepare data and build, train, and deploy ML models. In Studio, you can load data, adjust ML models, move in between steps to adjust experiments, […]

Churn prediction using multimodality of text and tabular features with Amazon SageMaker Jumpstart

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. Understanding customer behavior is top of mind for every business today. Gaining insights into why and how customers buy can help grow revenue. Customer churn is […]

How Thomson Reuters built an AI platform using Amazon SageMaker to accelerate delivery of ML projects

This post is co-written by Ramdev Wudali and Kiran Mantripragada from Thomson Reuters. In 1992, Thomson Reuters (TR) released its first AI legal research service, WIN (Westlaw Is Natural), an innovation at the time, as most search engines only supported Boolean terms and connectors. Since then, TR has achieved many more milestones as its AI […]
