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 […]

Next Gen Stats Decision Guide: Predicting fourth-down conversion

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 […]

Chain custom Amazon SageMaker Ground Truth jobs for image processing

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 […]

Accelerate data preparation using Amazon SageMaker Data Wrangler for diabetic patient readmission prediction

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 […]

Use Amazon SageMaker ACK Operators to train and deploy machine learning models

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. […]
