It’s almost here! Only 9 days until AWS re:Invent 2021, and we’re very excited to share some highlights you might enjoy this year. The AI/ML team has been working hard to serve up some amazing content and this year, we have more session types for you to enjoy. Back in person, we now have chalk […]

The AWS AI/ML Community has compiled a series of session guides to AWS re:Invent 2021 to help you get the most out of re:Invent this year. They covered four distinct categories relevant to AI/ML. With a number of our guide authors attending re:Invent virtually, you will find a balance between virtually accessible sessions and sessions […]

We’re excited to launch explainability impact scores in Amazon Forecast, which help you understand the factors that impact your forecasts for specific items and time durations of interest. Forecast is a managed service for developers that uses machine learning (ML) to generate more accurate demand forecasts, without requiring any ML experience. To increase forecast model […]

We’re excited to announce a new forecasting API for Amazon Forecast that generates up to 40% more accurate forecasts and helps you understand which factors, such as price, holidays, weather, or item category, are most influencing your forecasts. Forecast uses machine learning (ML) to generate more accurate demand forecasts, without requiring any ML experience. Forecast […]

It is fourth-and-one on the Texans’ 36-yard line with 3:21 remaining on the clock in a tie game. Should the Colts’ head coach Frank Reich send out kicker Rodrigo Blankenship to attempt a 54-yard field goal or rely on his offense to convert a first down? Frank chose to go for it, leading to a […]

Amazon SageMaker Ground Truth supports many different types of labeling jobs, including several image-based labeling workflows like image-level labels, bounding box-specific labels, or pixel-level labeling. For situations not covered by these standard approaches, Ground Truth also supports custom image-based labeling, which allows you to create a labeling workflow with a completely unique UI and associated […]

Patient readmission to hospital after prior visits for the same disease results in an additional burden on healthcare providers, the health system, and patients. Machine learning (ML) models, if built and trained properly, can help understand reasons for readmission, and predict readmission accurately. ML could allow providers to create better treatment plans and care, which […]

AWS recently released the new Amazon SageMaker Operators for Kubernetes using the AWS Controllers for Kubernetes (ACK). ACK is a framework for building Kubernetes custom controllers, where each controller communicates with an AWS service API. These controllers allow Kubernetes users to provision AWS resources like databases or message queues simply by using the Kubernetes API. […]

Amazon Textract is a machine learning (ML) service that automatically extracts printed text, handwriting, and other data from scanned documents that goes beyond simple optical character recognition (OCR) to identify and extract data from forms and tables. Currently, thousands of customers are using Amazon Textract to process different types of documents. Many include tables across […]

With the growing adoption of Machine Learning (ML) across industries, there is an increasing demand for faster and easier ways to run ML inference at scale. ML use cases, such as manufacturing defect detection, demand forecasting, fraud surveillance, and many others, involve tens or thousands of datasets, including images, videos, files, documents, and other artifacts.
