Do you need help to move your organization’s Machine Learning (ML) journey from pilot to production? You’re not alone. Most executives think ML can apply to any business decision, but on average only half of the ML projects make it to production. This post describes how to implement your first ML use case using Amazon […]

According to a PWC report, 32% of retail customers churn after one negative experience, and 73% of customers say that customer experience influences their purchase decisions. In the global retail industry, pre- and post-sales support are both important aspects of customer care. Numerous methods, including email, live chat, bots, and phone calls, are used to […]

August 30, 2023: Amazon Kinesis Data Analytics has been renamed to Amazon Managed Service for Apache Flink. Read the announcement in the AWS News Blog and learn more. Businesses are increasingly using machine learning (ML) to make near-real-time decisions, such as placing an ad, assigning a driver, recommending a product, or even dynamically pricing products […]

Time series are sequences of data points that occur in successive order over some period of time. We often analyze these data points to make better business decisions or gain competitive advantages. An example is Shimamura Music, who used Amazon Forecast to improve shortage rates and increase business efficiency. Another great example is Arneg, who […]

The AI landscape is being reshaped by the rise of generative models capable of synthesizing high-quality data, such as text, images, music, and videos. The course toward democratization of AI helped to further popularize generative AI following the open-source releases for such foundation model families as BERT, T5, GPT, CLIP and, most recently, Stable Diffusion. […]

Language models are statistical methods predicting the succession of tokens in sequences, using natural text. Large language models (LLMs) are neural network-based language models with hundreds of millions (BERT) to over a trillion parameters (MiCS), and whose size makes single-GPU training impractical. LLMs’ generative abilities make them popular for text synthesis, summarization, machine translation, and […]

Amazon SageMaker multi-model endpoints (MMEs) provide a scalable and cost-effective way to deploy a large number of machine learning (ML) models. It gives you the ability to deploy multiple ML models in a single serving container behind a single endpoint. From there, SageMaker manages loading and unloading the models and scaling resources on your behalf […]

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 […]
