Accelerate Amazon SageMaker inference with C6i Intel-based Amazon EC2 instances

This is a guest post co-written with Antony Vance from Intel. Customers are always looking for ways to improve the performance and response times of their machine learning (ML) inference workloads without increasing the cost per transaction and without sacrificing the accuracy of the results. Running ML workloads on Amazon SageMaker running Amazon Elastic Compute […]

Intelligently search your organization’s Microsoft Teams data source with the Amazon Kendra connector for Microsoft Teams

Organizations use messaging platforms like Microsoft Teams to bring the right people together to securely communicate with each other and collaborate to get work done. Microsoft Teams captures invaluable organizational knowledge in the form of the information that flows through it as users collaborate. However, making this knowledge easily and securely available to users can […]

Bring legacy machine learning code into Amazon SageMaker using AWS Step Functions

Tens of thousands of AWS customers use AWS machine learning (ML) services to accelerate their ML development with fully managed infrastructure and tools. For customers who have been developing ML models on premises, such as their local desktop, they want to migrate their legacy ML models to the AWS Cloud to fully take advantage of […]

Using Amazon SageMaker with Point Clouds: Part 1- Ground Truth for 3D labeling

In this two-part series, we demonstrate how to label and train models for 3D object detection tasks. In part 1, we discuss the dataset we’re using, as well as any preprocessing steps, to understand and label data. In part 2, we walk through how to train a model on your dataset and deploy it to […]

Real-time fraud detection using AWS serverless and machine learning services

Online fraud has a widespread impact on businesses and requires an effective end-to-end strategy to detect and prevent new account fraud and account takeovers, and stop suspicious payment transactions. In this post, we show a serverless approach to detect online transaction fraud in near-real time. We show how you can apply this approach to various data streaming and event-driven architectures, depending on the desired outcome and actions to take to prevent fraud (such as alert the user about the fraud or flag the transaction for additional review).

Architect personalized generative AI SaaS applications on Amazon SageMaker

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. […]

Use a data-centric approach to minimize the amount of data required to train Amazon SageMaker models

As machine learning (ML) models have improved, data scientists, ML engineers and researchers have shifted more of their attention to defining and bettering data quality. This has led to the emergence of a data-centric approach to ML and various techniques to improve model performance by focusing on data requirements. Applying these techniques allows ML practitioners […]

Portfolio optimization through multidimensional action optimization using Amazon SageMaker RL

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 […]

Hosting YOLOv8 PyTorch models on Amazon SageMaker Endpoints

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 […]

Virtual fashion styling with generative AI using Amazon SageMaker 

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 […]
