This is the first in a two-part series on the Amazon SageMaker Ground Truth hierarchical labeling workflow and dashboards. In Part 1, we look at creating multi-step labeling workflows for hierarchical label taxonomies using AWS Step Functions. In Part 2 (coming soon), we look at how to build dashboards for analyzing dataset annotations and worker […]

Many companies extract data from scanned documents containing tables and forms, such as PDFs. Some examples are audit documents, tax documents, whitepapers, or customer review documents. For customer reviews, you might be extracting text such as product reviews, movie reviews, or feedback. Further understanding of the individual and overall sentiment of the user base from […]

AWS customers like Snap, Alexa, and Autodesk have been using AWS Inferentia to achieve the highest performance and lowest cost on a wide variety of machine learning (ML) deployments. Natural language processing (NLP) models are growing in popularity for real-time and offline batched use cases. Our customers deploy these models in many applications like support […]

Amazon SageMaker hyperparameter tuning provides a built-in solution for scalable training and hyperparameter optimization (HPO). However, for some applications (such as those with a preference of different HPO libraries or customized HPO features), we need custom machine learning (ML) solutions that allow retraining and HPO. This post offers a step-by-step guide to build a custom deep […]

Amazon Forecast just launched the ability to hierarchically delete resources at a parent level without having to locate the child resources. You can stay focused on building value-adding forecasting systems and not worry about trying to manage individual resources that are created in your workflow. Forecast uses machine learning (ML) to generate more accurate demand […]

Autonomous vehicle companies typically use LiDAR sensors to generate a 3D understanding of the environment around their vehicles. For example, they mount a LiDAR sensor on their vehicles to continuously capture point-in-time snapshots of the surrounding 3D environment. The LiDAR sensor output is a sequence of 3D point cloud frames (the typical capture rate is […]

Processing large documents like PDFs and static images is a cornerstone of today’s highly regulated industries. From healthcare information like doctor-patient visits and bills of health, to financial documents like loan applications, tax filings, research reports, and regulatory filings, these documents are integral to how these industries conduct business. The mechanisms by which these documents […]
