Fraudulent activities severely impact many industries, such as e-commerce, social media, and financial services. Frauds could cause a significant loss for businesses and consumers. American consumers reported losing more than $5.8 billion to frauds in 2021, up more than 70% over 2020. Many techniques have been used to detect fraudsters—rule-based filters, anomaly detection, and machine […]

In the agriculture sector, the problem of identifying and counting the amount of fruit on trees plays an important role in crop estimation. The concept of renting and leasing a tree is becoming popular, where a tree owner leases the tree every year before the harvest based on the estimated fruit yeild. The common practice […]

Today Amazon SageMaker announced the support of SageMaker training instance fallbacks for Amazon SageMaker Automatic Model Tuning (AMT) that allow users to specify alternative compute resource configurations. SageMaker automatic model tuning finds the best version of a model by running many training jobs on your dataset using the ranges of hyperparameters that you specify for your […]

In November 2021, in collaboration with RStudio PBC, we announced the general availability of RStudio on Amazon SageMaker, the industry’s first fully managed RStudio Workbench IDE in the cloud. You can now bring your current RStudio license to easily migrate your self-managed RStudio environments to Amazon SageMaker in just a few simple steps. RStudio is […]

October 2023: Starting in April 26th, 2024, you can no longer access Amazon SageMaker Edge Manager. For more information about continuing to deploy your models to edge devices, see SageMaker Edge Manager end of life. Internet of Things (IoT) has enabled customers in multiple industries, such as manufacturing, automotive, and energy, to monitor and control […]

Amazon Comprehend is a natural-language processing (NLP) service you can use to automatically extract entities, key phrases, language, sentiments, and other insights from documents. For example, you can immediately start detecting entities such as people, places, commercial items, dates, and quantities via the Amazon Comprehend console, AWS Command Line Interface, or Amazon Comprehend APIs. In […]

Amazon SageMaker Feature Store helps data scientists and machine learning (ML) engineers securely store, discover, and share curated data used in training and prediction workflows. Feature Store is a centralized store for features and associated metadata, allowing features to be easily discovered and reused by data scientist teams working on different projects or ML models. […]

After data scientists carefully come up with a satisfying machine learning (ML) model, the model must be deployed to be easily accessible for inference by other members of the organization. However, deploying models at scale with optimized cost and compute efficiencies can be a daunting and cumbersome task. Amazon SageMaker endpoints provide an easily scalable […]

Feature engineering is one of the most challenging aspects of the machine learning (ML) lifecycle and a phase where the most amount of time is spent—data scientists and ML engineers spend 60–70% of their time on feature engineering. AWS introduced Amazon SageMaker Feature Store during AWS re:Invent 2020, which is a purpose-built, fully managed, centralized […]
