Approximately 7,000 languages are in use today. Despite attempts in the late 19th century to invent constructed languages such as Volapük or Esperanto, there is no sign of unification. People still choose to create new languages (think about your favorite movie character who speaks Klingon, Dothraki, or Elvish). Today, natural language processing (NLP) examples are […]

In recent years, natural language understanding (NLU) has increasingly found business value, fueled by model improvements as well as the scalability and cost-efficiency of cloud-based infrastructure. Specifically, the Transformer deep learning architecture, often implemented in the form of BERT models, has been highly successful, but training, fine-tuning, and optimizing these models has proven to be […]

In our daily conversations, we come across new words or terms that we may not know. Perhaps these are related to a new domain that we’re just getting familiar with, and we pick these up as we understand more about the domain. For example, home loan terminology (“curtailment”), shortened words, (“refi”, “comps”), and acronyms (“HELOC”) […]

Understanding customer behavior is top of mind for every business today. Gaining insights into why and how customers buy can help grow revenue. But losing customers (also called customer churn) is always a risk, and insights into why customers leave can be just as important for maintaining revenues and profits. Machine learning (ML) can help […]

AWS customers are relying on Infrastructure as Code (IaC) to design, develop, and manage their cloud infrastructure. IaC ensures that customer infrastructure and services are consistent, scalable, and reproducible, while being able to follow best practices in the area of development operations (DevOps). One possible approach to manage AWS infrastructure and services with IaC is […]

Machine learning (ML) applications are complex to deploy and often require multiple ML models to serve a single inference request. A typical request may flow across multiple models with steps like preprocessing, data transformations, model selection logic, model aggregation, and postprocessing. This has led to the evolution of common design patterns such as serial inference […]

Today, we’re releasing a new solution for financial graph machine learning (ML) in Amazon SageMaker JumpStart. JumpStart helps you quickly get started with ML and provides a set of solutions for the most common use cases that can be trained and deployed with just a few clicks. The new JumpStart solution (Graph-Based Credit Scoring) demonstrates […]

Reading the printed word opens up a world of information, imagination, and creativity. However, scanned books and documents may be difficult for people with vision impairment and learning disabilities to consume. In addition, some people prefer to listen to text-based content versus reading it. A document-to-speech solution extends the reach of digital content by giving […]

Today, AWS announced the general availability of Amazon Rekognition Streaming Video Events, a fully managed service for camera manufacturers and service providers that uses machine learning (ML) to detect objects such as people, pets, and packages in live video streams from connected cameras. Amazon Rekognition Streaming Video Events sends them a notification as soon as […]
