Create high-quality instructions for Amazon SageMaker Ground Truth labeling jobs

Amazon SageMaker Ground Truth helps you quickly build highly accurate training datasets for machine learning (ML). You can use your own workers, a choice of vendor-managed workforces that specialize in data labeling, or a public workforce powered by Amazon Mechanical Turk to provide the human-generated labels. To get high-quality labels, you must provide simple, concise, […]

Build a serverless anomaly detection tool using Java and the Amazon SageMaker Random Cut Forest algorithm

One of the problems that business owners commonly face is detecting when something unusual is happening in their business. Detecting unusual user activity or changes in daily traffic patterns are just some of the challenges. With an ever-increasing amount of data and metrics, detecting anomalies with the help of machine learning is a great way […]

Launch EI accelerators in minutes with the Amazon Elastic Inference setup tool for EC2

Note: Amazon Elastic Inference is no longer available. Please see Amazon SageMaker for similar capabilities. The Amazon Elastic Inference (EI) setup tool is a Python script that enables you to quickly get started with EI. Elastic Inference allows you to attach low-cost GPU-powered acceleration to Amazon EC2 and Amazon SageMaker instances to reduce the cost of running […]

The AWS DeepRacer League allows developers of all skill levels to get hands on with machine learning through a series of live racing events at AWS Global Summits around the world. The […]

Train Deep Learning Models on GPUs using Amazon EC2 Spot Instances

You’ve collected your datasets, designed your deep neural network architecture, and coded your training routines. You are now ready to run training on a large dataset for multiple epochs on a powerful GPU instance. You learn that the Amazon EC2 P3 instances with NVIDIA Tesla V100 GPUs are ideal for compute-intensive deep learning training jobs, […]

Reducing deep learning inference cost with MXNet and Amazon Elastic Inference

Note: Amazon Elastic Inference is no longer available. Please see Amazon SageMaker for similar capabilities. Amazon Elastic Inference (Amazon EI) is a service that allows you to attach low-cost GPU-powered acceleration to Amazon EC2 and Amazon SageMaker instances. MXNet has supported Amazon EI since its initial release at AWS re:Invent 2018. In this blog post, […]

Control root access to Amazon SageMaker notebook instances

Amazon SageMaker recently introduced the ability to enable and disable root access for notebook users. Before I give you a preview of how you can implement this new feature using the AWS Management Console and Amazon SageMaker API actions, I’ll explain why controlling root access for users is helpful. Amazon SageMaker provides fully managed notebook […]
