Improving stability and flexibility of ML pipelines at Amazon Packaging Innovation with Amazon SageMaker Pipelines

To delight customers and minimize packaging waste, Amazon must select the optimal packaging type for billions of packages shipped every year. If too little protection is used for a fragile item such as a coffee mug, the item will arrive damaged and Amazon risks their customer’s trust. Using too much protection will result in increased […]

Improve data extraction and document processing with Amazon Textract

Intelligent document processing (IDP) has seen widespread adoption across enterprise and government organizations. Gartner estimates the IDP market will grow more than 100% year over year, and is projected to reach $4.8 billion in 2022. IDP helps transform structured, semi-structured, and unstructured data from a variety of document formats into actionable information. Processing unstructured data […]

Automated exploratory data analysis and model operationalization framework with a human in the loop

Identifying, collecting, and transforming data is the foundation for machine learning (ML). According to a Forbes survey, there is widespread consensus among ML practitioners that data preparation accounts for approximately 80% of the time spent in developing a viable ML model. In addition, many of our customers face several challenges during the model operationalization phase […]
