In this post, we elucidate the simple yet powerful idea of combining user profiles and item attributes to generate personalized content recommendations using LLMs. As demonstrated throughout the post, these models hold immense potential in generating high-quality, context-aware input text, which leads to enhanced recommendations. To illustrate this, we guide you through the process of integrating a feature store (representing user profiles) with an LLM to generate these personalized recommendations.

In this post, we provide an overview of popular multimodality models. We also demonstrate how to deploy these pre-trained models on Amazon SageMaker. Furthermore, we discuss the diverse applications of these models, focusing particularly on several real-world scenarios, such as zero-shot tag and attribution generation for ecommerce and automatic prompt generation from images.

Amazon Forecast is a fully managed service that uses statistical and machine learning (ML) algorithms to deliver highly accurate time-series forecasts. Recently, based on Amazon Forecast, we helped one of our retail customers achieve accurate demand forecasting, within 8 weeks. The solution improved the manual forecast by an average of 10% in regards to the […]

Optical character recognition (OCR) is the task of converting printed or handwritten text into machine-encoded text. OCR has been widely used in various scenarios, such as document electronization and identity authentication. Because OCR can greatly reduce the manual effort to register key information and serve as an entry step for understanding large volumes of documents, […]

Recommendation systems are one of the most widely adopted machine learning (ML) technologies in real-world applications, ranging from social networks to ecommerce platforms. Users of many online systems rely on recommendation systems to make new friendships, discover new music according to suggested music lists, or even make ecommerce purchase decisions based on the recommended products. […]

As more machine learning (ML) workloads go into production, many organizations must bring ML workloads to market quickly and increase productivity in the ML model development lifecycle. However, the ML model development lifecycle is significantly different from an application development lifecycle. This is due in part to the amount of experimentation required before finalizing a […]

This blog was reviewed and updated June, 2022 to address latest changes to steps and User Interface on Studio and Okta. In 2019, AWS announced Amazon SageMaker Studio, a unified integrated development environment (IDE) for machine learning (ML) development. You can write code, track experiments, visualize data, and perform debugging and monitoring within a single, […]
