In Part 1 of this series, we walk through a continuous model improvement machine learning (ML) workflow with Amazon Rekognition Custom Labels and Amazon Augmented AI (Amazon A2I). We explained how we use AWS Step Functions to orchestrate model training and deployment, and custom label detection backed by a human labeling private workforce. We described […]

If you need to integrate image analysis into your business process to detect objects or scenes unique to your business domain, you need to build your own custom machine learning (ML) model. Building a custom model requires advanced ML expertise and can be a technical challenge if you have limited ML knowledge. Because model performance […]

This post outlines the best practices for provisioning Amazon SageMaker Studio for data science teams and provides reference architectures and AWS CloudFormation templates to help you get started. We use AWS Service Catalog to provision a Studio domain and users. The AWS Service Catalog allows you to provision these centrally without requiring each user to […]

Amazon SageMaker hyperparameter tuning provides a built-in solution for scalable training and hyperparameter optimization (HPO). However, for some applications (such as those with a preference of different HPO libraries or customized HPO features), we need custom machine learning (ML) solutions that allow retraining and HPO. This post offers a step-by-step guide to build a custom deep […]

Visual inspection of industrial environments is a common requirement across heavy industries, such as transportation, construction, and shipbuilding, and typically requires qualified experts to perform the inspection. Inspection locations can often be remote or in adverse environments that put humans at risk, such as bridges, skyscrapers, and offshore oil rigs. Many of these industries deal […]

As businesses and IT leaders look to accelerate the adoption of machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI), there is a growing need to understand how to build secure and compliant ML environments that meet enterprise requirements. One major challenge you may face is integrating ML workflows into existing IT and business work streams. A […]

We recently announced Amazon SageMaker Pipelines, the first purpose-built, easy-to-use continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) service for machine learning (ML). SageMaker Pipelines is a native workflow orchestration tool for building ML pipelines that take advantage of direct Amazon SageMaker integration. Three components improve the operational resilience and reproducibility of your ML workflows: pipelines, model […]

February 2021 Update: Customers can now use native AWS CloudFormation code templates to model the infrastructure set up for Amazon SageMaker Studio and configure its access for users in their organizations at scale. For more information, please see the announcement post.  Amazon SageMaker Studio is the first fully integrated development environment (IDE) for machine learning […]

Model training and serving steps are two essential pieces of a successful end-to-end machine learning (ML) pipeline. These two steps often require different software and hardware setups to provide the best mix for a production environment. Model training is optimized for a low-cost, feasible total run duration, scientific flexibility, and model interpretability objectives, whereas model […]

Amazon Kendra is a highly accurate and easy-to-use enterprise search service powered by machine learning (ML). To get started with Amazon Kendra, we offer data source connectors to get your documents easily ingested and indexed. This post describes how to use Amazon Kendra’s SharePoint Online connector. To allow the connector to access your SharePoint Online […]
