The size and complexity of large language models (LLMs) have exploded in the last few years. LLMs have demonstrated remarkable capabilities in learning the semantics of natural language and producing human-like responses. Many recent LLMs are fine-tuned with a powerful technique called instruction tuning, which helps the model perform new tasks or generate responses to […]

September 2023: This post was reviewed and updated. Intelligent document processing (IDP) with AWS helps automate information extraction from documents of different types and formats, quickly and with high accuracy, without the need for machine learning (ML) skills. Faster information extraction with high accuracy can help you make quality business decisions on time, while reducing […]

Predictive maintenance is a data-driven maintenance strategy for monitoring industrial assets in order to detect anomalies in equipment operations and health that could lead to equipment failures. Through proactive monitoring of an asset’s condition, maintenance personnel can be alerted before issues occur, thereby avoiding costly unplanned downtime, which in turn leads to an increase in […]

This is joint post co-written by Leidos and AWS. Leidos is a FORTUNE 500 science and technology solutions leader working to address some of the world’s toughest challenges in the defense, intelligence, homeland security, civil, and healthcare markets. Leidos has partnered with AWS to develop an approach to privacy-preserving, confidential machine learning (ML) modeling where […]

With Amazon Rekognition Custom Labels, you can have Amazon Rekognition train a custom model for object detection or image classification specific to your business needs. For example, Rekognition Custom Labels can find your logo in social media posts, identify your products on store shelves, classify machine parts in an assembly line, distinguish healthy and infected […]

Deforestation is a major concern in many tropical geographies where local rainforests are at severe risk of destruction. About 17% of the Amazon rainforest has been destroyed over the past 50 years, and some tropical ecosystems are approaching a tipping point beyond which recovery is unlikely. A key driver for deforestation is raw material extraction […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
