Building accurate computer vision models to detect objects in images requires deep knowledge of each step in the process—from labeling, processing, and preparing the training and validation data, to making the right model choice and tuning the model’s hyperparameters adequately to achieve the maximum accuracy. Fortunately, these complex steps are simplified by Amazon Rekognition Custom […]

GAN is a generative ML model that is widely used in advertising, games, entertainment, media, pharmaceuticals, and other industries. You can use it to create fictional characters and scenes, simulate facial aging, change image styles, produce chemical formulas synthetic data, and more. For example, the following images show the effect of picture-to-picture conversion. The following […]

Customers in many different domains tend to work with multiple sources for their data: object-based storage like Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3), relational databases like Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS), or data warehouses like Amazon Redshift. Machine learning (ML) practitioners are often driven to work with objects and files instead of databases and […]

AutoML is a powerful capability, provided by Amazon SageMaker Autopilot, that allows non-experts to create machine learning (ML) models to invoke in their applications. The problem that we want to solve arises when, due to governance constraints, Amazon SageMaker resources can’t be deployed in the same AWS account where they are used. Examples of such […]

Multi-object tracking (MOT) in video analysis is increasingly in demand in many industries, such as live sports, manufacturing, surveillance, and traffic monitoring. For example, in live sports, MOT can track soccer players in real time to analyze physical performance such as real-time speed and moving distance. Previously, most methods were designed to separate MOT into […]

Computer vision algorithms are at the core of many deep learning applications. Self-driving cars, security systems, healthcare, logistics, and image processing all incorporate various aspects of computer vision. But despite their ubiquity, training computer vision algorithms, like Mask or Cascade RCNN, is hard. These models employ complex architectures, train on large datasets, and require computer […]

Discrete and continuous manufacturing lines generate a high volume of products at low latency, ranging from milliseconds to a few seconds. To identify defects at the same throughput of production, camera streams of images must be processed at low latency. Additionally, factories may have low network bandwidth or intermittent cloud connectivity. In such scenarios, you […]

Time series forecasting is a common problem in machine learning (ML) and statistics. Some common day-to-day use cases of time series forecasting involve predicting product sales, item demand, component supply, service tickets, and all as a function of time. More often than not, time series data follows a hierarchical aggregation structure. For example, in retail, […]

The Formula 1 (F1) live steaming service, F1 TV, has live automated closed captions in three different languages: English, Spanish, and French. For the 2021 season, FORMULA 1 has achieved another technological breakthrough, building a fully automated workflow to create closed captions in three languages and broadcasting to 85 territories using Amazon Transcribe. Amazon Transcribe […]

Since its launch in November 2017, the AWS Deep Learning Amazon Machine Image (DLAMI) has been the preferred method for running deep learning frameworks on Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2). For deep learning practitioners and learners who want to accelerate deep learning in the cloud, the DLAMI comes pre-installed with AWS-optimized deep learning (DL) frameworks […]
