Deployment guardrails in Amazon SageMaker provide a new set of deployment capabilities allowing you to implement advanced deployment strategies that minimize risk when deploying new model versions on SageMaker hosting. Depending on your use case, you can use a variety of deployment strategies to release new model versions. Each of these strategies relies on a […]

There are over 180,000 unique proteins with 3D structures determined, with tens of thousands new structures resolved every year. This is only a small fraction of the 200 million known proteins with distinctive sequences. Recent deep learning algorithms such as AlphaFold can accurately predict 3D structures of proteins using their sequences, which help scale the […]

In-person user identity verification is slow to scale, costly, and high friction for users. Machine learning (ML) powered facial recognition technology can enable online user identity verification. Amazon Rekognition offers pre-trained facial recognition capabilities that you can quickly add to your user onboarding and authentication workflows to verify opted-in users’ identities online. No ML expertise […]

Gartner predicts that by the end of 2024, 75% of enterprises will shift from piloting to operationalizing artificial intelligence (AI), and the vast majority of workloads will end up in the cloud in the long run. For some enterprises that plan to migrate to the cloud, the complexity, magnitude, and length of migrations may be […]

Until recently, customers who wanted to use a deep learning (DL) framework with Amazon SageMaker Processing faced increased complexity compared to those using scikit-learn or Apache Spark. This post shows you how SageMaker Processing has simplified running machine learning (ML) preprocessing and postprocessing tasks with popular frameworks such as PyTorch, TensorFlow, Hugging Face, MXNet, and […]

In many industries, including financial services, banking, healthcare, legal, and real estate, automating document handling is an essential part of the business and customer service. In addition, strict compliance regulations make it necessary for businesses to handle sensitive documents, especially customer data, properly. Documents can come in a variety of formats, including digital forms or […]

Natural language processing (NLP) has been a hot topic in the AI field for some time. As current NLP models get larger and larger, data scientists and developers struggle to set up the infrastructure for such growth of model size. For faster training time, distributed training across multiple machines is a natural choice for developers. […]
