Machine learning (ML) is routinely used in every sector to make predictions. But beyond simple predictions, making decisions is more complicated because non-optimal short-term decisions are sometimes preferred or even necessary to enable long-term, strategic goals. Optimizing policies to make sequential decisions toward a long-term objective can be learned using a family of ML models […]

Machine learning (ML) is routinely used by countless businesses to assist with decision making. In most cases, however, the predictions and business decisions made by ML systems still require the intuition of human users to make judgment calls. In this post, I show how to combine ML with sensitivity analysis to develop a data-driven business […]

Financial institutions that extend credit face the dual tasks of evaluating the credit risk associated with each loan application and determining a threshold that defines the level of risk they are willing to take on. The evaluation of credit risk is a common application of machine learning (ML) classification models. The determination of a classification […]

This post looks at the role machine learning plays in providing fans with deeper insights into the game. We also provide code snippets that show the training and deployment process behind these insights on Amazon SageMaker.

July 2023: This post was reviewed for accuracy. Optimization is the process of finding the minimum (or maximum) of a function that depends on some inputs, called design variables. Customer X has the following problem: They are about to release a new car model to be designed for maximum fuel efficiency. In reality, thousands of […]

After you’ve trained and exported a TensorFlow model, you can use Amazon SageMaker to perform inferences using your model. You can either: Deploy your model to an endpoint to obtain real-time inferences from your model. Use batch transform to obtain inferences on an entire dataset stored in Amazon S3. In the case of batch transform, […]

Amazon SageMaker is a modular, fully-managed service that enables developers and data scientists to quickly and easily build, train, and deploy machine learning models at any scale. Training models is quick and easy using a set of built-in high-performance algorithms, pre-built deep learning frameworks, or using your own framework. To help select your machine learning (ML) algorithm, […]

April 2021 – The Amazon FSx section of this post has been updated to cover changes introduced to mount point names with scratch_2 and persistent_1 deployment options. Amazon SageMaker provides a fully managed service for data science and machine learning workflows. One of the most important capabilities of Amazon SageMaker is its ability to run fully […]

Spectral MD, Inc. is a clinical research stage medical device company that describes itself as “breaking the barriers of light to see deep inside the body.” Recently designated by the FDA as a “Breakthrough Device,” Spectral MD provides an impressive solution to wound care using cutting edge multispectral imaging and deep learning technologies. This Dallas-based […]

By the year 2050, our planet will need to feed ten billion people. We can’t expand the earth to create more agricultural land, so the solution to growing more food is to make agriculture more productive and less resource-dependent. In other words, there is no room for crop losses or resource waste. Bayer is using […]
